Help Wanted
From socially plugged-in DJs to well-compensated and well-dressed girls whose job duties include showing up and sipping drinks, the business plan of a great night out is far more complex than “if you throw it, they will come.” And when the lights come on, everybody is partied out but only some have been paid to do it. Are you on the right side of the party payroll?

The Faith & the Fury
Far from your typical Noe Valley yoga crowd, this loyal group of former fast-living punk rockers claim to have found an enlightened path through the practice of Buddhism and meditation. Inspired by the now-notorious Noah Levine, former druggie, ex-con and all around SF punk, who finally turned clean and sober after turning down the Eight Fold Path, scenesters are finding a way to grow old gracefully by giving up the brain-melting narcotics and still staying true to the music. The lifestyle offers both salvation and stylish inclusion, and made its founder, Levine, one rich gutter punk.

In 2005, there are 20,000 homes in the Bay Area worth more than $1 million, and by last count, 6,248 people sleeping on the streets or in shelters each night.

Don't Forget Your Loser Lid
Riding down sunny and bustling Valencia Street on my new bike behind my new boyfriend, I have plenty of reasons to be distracted. Before I know it, I’m heading face-first toward the asphalt, backed up by a soundtrack of clanking metal and the empathetic exclamations of bystanders.

Fixie or Forget It
Maurice Lee rarely leaves his apartment alone. Trusty sidekick in tow, he saunters his mid-1970s Falcon Track Bike down the stuffy hallway before he lifts its 10-pound steel frame and descends a flight of green-carpeted steps. No sooner do its wiry tires hit the lobby’s deco-patterned linoleum than Lee mounts his mare.
