Dream Home Raffle to Raise Money For School – Too Rich for My Blood
When I saw the ad in the SF Chronicle for the 1.4 million dollar “Dream House”
being raffled off in Santa Cruz to raise money for the Mount Madonna School, I couldn’t wait to get home and “play the numbers.” My bubble burst when I looked it up online and got the full story - each raffle ticket costs $150. WTH???! You mean to tell me you have to already be ballin for this chance to be even more ballin? Who but rich (or stupid) folks are willing to throw away pay $150 for the slight chance of winning an expensive home? Basically this is like going to an expensive political fundraiser where the organizers are giving away a new car to one of the attendees.

Help! I moved to the East Bay and I don’t know where the party’s at!
Some people think that a move to the East Bay is a move to the burbs. Many of my San Francisco friends think there’s no party worth coming to out here and would never move away from their beloved urban paradise. I’m lucky if I can get a few of them out here once a year.
What a lot of SFers don’t realize is that the East Bay as tons of great bars, clubs and parties. The best things about the East Bay’s nightlife are that the crowds are more diverse and there are relatively few douchebags.
If you’re looking for something to do in the East Bay, here are my suggestions:

Introducing the DogBlog!
Many of us have had a lifetime of enjoyment with pets, and I’m not sure that there’s a more loving and loyal friend than a dog. Does your significant other jump up and down and wiggle their butt when you get home?!?
Here’s a few sites for your SF dog needs:

Greetings - Our editor in chief is on vacation so I’m running the show for a few weeks. Imagine - a So-Cal guy leaving his prize possession to a Jersey boy. Thought we could all have some fun and post our Bay Area favorites - We’ll get 5 of these up while G is in South America - when he gets back he can revisit his love of all things Bay Area.
Today’s Topic - Restaurant.
The Bay Area is home to some of the best eats and drinks in the world. With that in mind - I ask the Schtuff crew this:

Since you are what you eat, I thought it might be nice to include a bit more food education on schtuff, to add to our collection of recipes.
This website http://www.cuesa.org/seasonality/charts/vegetable.php will provide a bit of insight for what veggies are in season, events and programs, and highlights special content on urban education for sustainable agriculture.
Also, SF Gate’s recent article http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2008/03/05/FDGKULTR9.DTL gives you some uncommon ideas for making the most of your shopping experience.
Last, http://www.fsis.usda.gov/fact_sheets/index.asp?src_location=content&src_page=FSEd
is a fact sheet from the USDA, detailing specifics on handling and preparation of different foods.
Eat fresh, laugh, love and live long.
