Loads of old San Franciscan history, however, the room smelled like an "old" ashtray and I'm an occasional cigar smoker. The front desk was very hard to reach (on the phone). I've had better luck with Comcast. Ultimately, I just gave up.

Old charm, centrally located, but I'll stick to the Fairmont or the Huntington in the future.

Don't do it. I had to prep for an important PR event and due to lack of time I took a risk on these folks. What a mistake.

I don't think any of my colleagues will ever try them esp. after they took a look at me.

Go to a pro shop if you care about your image.

How good could a barbershop on wheels really be?

Never again.

King's Sport & Tackle

Categories: Outdoor Gear, Fishing

6/20/2010

Looking for a special trip with friends and family? There's nothing like a relaxing canoe or kayak trip down the Russian River. King's Sport & Tackle is the place to make that happen.

1. They are located on the "Main St" in Guerneville
2. Street parking only. Basically, you're on you own (no biggie)
3. Friendly and helpful staff.
4. The cost is minimal, and you have all day to paddle back, so slowpokes need not worry.
5. The process of signing your life away coupled with getting your gear and shuttling to the river is lightening fast.

When we return, we will use these guys again.

Flex-It - CLOSED

Greatest little gym in town. Great for weight lifters / power lifters and those who just want to play full court basketball. Full set of cardio equipment with showers to boot. 24 hour access is avail.

It's located across the street from the Mountain View Caltrain station, which is perfect for commuters who want to get in a work out before or after work, and there is never a wait for machines.

Seriously, this gym is the best keep secret in Mountain View.

I've used all kinds of web conferencing software and usually I'm stuck downloading a new browser plugin.

My experience with http://OnlineMeetingRo... was one of utmost simplicity. It literally took me two steps to join.. 1. click on the link 2. enter a username.. voila.. all the features and functionality of the big brands, but with the ease of use one would hope for..

It just works.

Fantastic radio! Music from the golden yester years....From the days when Big Band was king and when Cecil B. DeMille was in power. Swing baby swing.

What can I say.. need to take a break? How about your own personal Jacuzzi and or steam room for an hour? You can't beat the price.

Often I've started my day with.. "I could use a good soak".. and bingo.. sometimes only moments later I'm relaxing with hot water jets.

Seriously, you've just got to try it.. great way to start or end any day.. period.

Felix Lee Lerma

Neighborhood: Castro

1/7/2010

I found Felix on Yelp..and well.. he had a "surprising" last minute cancellation.. coincidence?.. methinks not.

I'll admit, I was nervous. I didn't have a clue as to what to expect. I was also tad bit skeptical but my skepticism was shattered shortly in.

bottom line: it was life changing.. BIG TIME...Really a fantastic experience.

He was right on the money about so many things, and mentioned things which no one knew.. He had names and places.. it was shocking..

JUST GO!

Fantastic Mexican, especially for the price. I usually get the burrito which is massive.

A definite regular.

The pastries here are fantastic, but the coffee needs some work.

This place has a great location with free wifi, and plenty of power outlets and thus will always be packed, but personally your best bet is to grab a pastry here and then walk one block for a coffee at Red Rock Coffee where a $4.00 latte is simply "out of this world".
