This SF Life

Happy New Year! Farzad and Jana are back in 2017! This week they share their tales of burritos, concerts, getting sloshed on NYE, and the final chapter in The Saga of Jana and her Missed Connection. Cheers and bring on 2017!

It’s the holiday season! Farzad and Jana talk about their holiday parties, followed by a weekend filled with even more drinking, both of the pub golf and classy variety to celebrate the birth of Jana! It’s a Festivus for the rest of us!

In the wake of the recent Ghost Ship tragedy in Oakland, the gang looks for some joy during what has been a challenging year. From shuffleboard to board games to self proclaimed “one flip wonders”, listen to learn about some of the best drinking game spots in SF. Cheers!

We made it! Welcome to This SF Life’s first Thanksgiving! Farzad and Jana celebrated Friendsgiving with a beautiful turkey, all the trimmings, good friends, plenty of wine, a showing of Love Actually, and a trip to the ER via an ambulance. Basically all the elements for a holiday-themed blockbuster!

After casting their votes, Farzad & Jana discuss the outcome of the election. It did not go the way they had wanted, and they’re struggling with how to move forward. Secede? Volunteer? What’s next? The episode isn’t a complete rant, though! Farzad was introduced to La Croix. Pamplemousse, anyone?

‘Tis the season! The voting season, that is. And what kind of podcasters would we be if we didn’t talk elections and propositions? This episode, we discuss some of the “sexier” propositions on the ballot next week. Happy voting!

This week Jana went to see the Ranchero dance in the Mother Adele Drag Show at Oasis. It was her first time at a drag show, and she left wide eyed and inspired! So inspired, she decided to continue with the Queen theme for Halloween! The newfound costume direction leads the gang to other costume ideas that might hold a special place in the hearts of fellow San Franciscans.

Connections abound on this week’s episode of This SF Life! Jana gives the much anticipated update on her Uber Missed Connection. Did she have the balls to connect? Meanwhile, Farzad and Sarcastic Girl took their stab at being politicians and lobbyists, joining in a giant game of tag in the Marina and North Beach. The team also enjoyed the tradition of Fleet Week, discovering a new bar and had Italian in North Beach. Basically, being as San Franciscan as you can get!

Lindsay shows her unconditional love for a local team, Farzad tries a new cocktail/beverage (we use that term VERY loosely), and Jana celebrates a very special life milestone. She also has an encounter with a hot rideshare carpooler, which leads to an interesting conversation and subsequent challenge. Human interaction anyone?

This week the gang welcomes back friend of the podcast, Simon. Simon is an active board member of the Folsom St Events that put on events like the Folsom Street Fair, active in the LGBTQ community and he is easy on the eyes! Take an inside peek at the Folsom Street Fair, World’s Biggest Leather Event, and something that makes SF very unique and an “only in SF” event.
