2010: Day: 30 Trad'r Sam’s (The Finale)

Rally Oh Says:

As we come to the end of this social experiment, we also come home to the our first bar, Trad'r Sams.  During my 13 years of drinking (Legally), Tradr Sams was the first bar I used to hang out in.  I've met a lot of cool people, hooked up and broke hearts in this bar.  Sams was the perfect way to end the Debauchery.  Many thanks to my family folks @ Trad'rs!  Uncle John, Demoe, Fred, Gary, Marvin, Eee-Gor... and  for the rest of the crew that wasn't working: Tula, Raja, Dough-ee, Chad, Orlando, and Steve...Thank you as always!

For our last night, we had the best turnout by far.  56 was the magic number.  Big shot out goes out the following folks:  Goose, Waldo, Azarah, Jennifer, Saysamone, Vince, Mahal, Dave, Jessie, Mark, Miles, Clark, Louise, Melissa M., John S., Heba, Paul, Kareem, Lexi, Jill, Angel, Shirley, Chelsea, Ali, Tory, Isaaz, Grace, Sarah, Melissa S., Jami, Ed, Rose, Jasmine, Sonia, Chris, Ben, Hilton, Anthony, Roxy, Clint, Joe, Denise, Daiman, Nate, Ivona, Kelly, Summer, Stesha, Monica, Laurie, Erin, Eric, Fernanda, Alex, Fouad, Basil, and ACP.....Yeah Mon!

To my boys in this thing called the All City Project: Stretch, sCo-D, Barack Jr. , Sucka Freezie, E*Fizzle,  I couldn't have done this without you.  You guys are sick wit it!   How are we gonna top this?  Wait..... I'm working on it right now!

And to the person who said, "30 days... your not gonna make it after the first week!"   Well now that it's in your mouth, I hope you choke on it!  You can't stop ACP now, this is just the beginning...

So, until we get started on the next 30 days, this is Rally Oh signing off.

RallyOh of All City Project...gotta love it!


Stretchvet Says:

This month was an excellent example of what you can do when you put your mind to it! This was a group idea turned experiment... turned reality...and it was fun as hell! Trad'r Sams was the first bar I was able to frequent legally, so it made sense for me to go back for a debaucherous finale. Thank you to everyone that came out in support of our project and right on for destroying your liver and kidneys with us. Dedication is the first word that comes to mind when I think of this endeavor...!

All City Baby...we did it!


Sucka Freezie says:

Coming into the last day of the All City Project: 30 Days of Debauchery, 30 Bars in 30 Days it was automatic that we, the All City Project Crew (ACPC) were going to be at another bar on another day. However, this day was no ordinary day. It was Day 30 of our revolutionary social experiment and we’ve found the light at the end of the tunnel, and we all wanted to go out with a BANG! The finale for our experiment was at a place that most of us we’re familiar with, Tradr Sam’s located on Geary Blvd. and 26th Ave. in the Richmond District. We had a great turn-out with many familiar faces and faces that showed up for the first time for the project, better late than never. Thank you D-Moe, Fred, Raj, Marvin and the rest of the Tradr Sam’s crew!

The arrival of Day 30 was met with anticipation of excitement, a time of relief, a sense of accomplishment, and an end to a wonderful month of June 2010. Each of my comrades in this project; Ryan, Thomas, Luther, Darrick, and Ian can rightfully say, we are the champions, I am the champion! And I have the muthafu@kin’ belt to prove it too! We came, we conquered, and I’m about to come again! After countless hours at the bars, nearly a couple thousands of dollars evaporated, and a beat down to my kidneys and liver this experience is finally done. The experience, the friendships, the conversations, the people, and the new memories gained by this project are priceless. I honestly believe we could not have pulled this off without our buddies in crime. If we did, we would have some very serious issues! It would not be the “All City Project” without some of Frisco’s Finest representing this lovely city. With the 30 Days of Debauchery being completed the ACPC are in the history books, this is definitely one for the ages and at the least a once in a lifetime experience to check off, of “things to do before you check-out list.”

I think I’m still a little petrified with what just happened and it’ll take a little time to realize what we’ve been through. Like I said, going to a bar or socializing for me will not be the same after the All City Project 30 Days of Debauchery. The bar has been set pretty high. Throughout the 30 days and the 30 different spots I can’t choose one as a favorite, being mindful of the certain nights that we were there and other nights we weren’t definitely makes a difference. I had fun at all 30 places for better or worse and I’m sure that the debauchery will continue far beyond any words of this post and then some. I want to personally thank everyone from Day 1 to Day 30th who came out and joined us and supported us during this project, because truly it wouldn’t have been the same grand time without each and every one of you guys and gals and I sincerely mean that! You all know who you are! A special thank you goes to our lovely “Hottie” contestants; you are all winners in my book! Look out for the next episode, the “Reunion” and what’s coming up next on the All City Project list of shenanigans! Stay tuned! Until next time, One Love!

This is Spencer N. Chan aka Sucka Freezie aka San Pancho Libre and I approve of this

sCo-D would like to say first and foremost thanks to God for allowing me the will and strength to pull this off (through Him everything is possible). To my All City brothers (Barack Jr., E-Fizzle, Rally Oh, San Pancho Libre, & Stretchvet), we got the belt and earned the title!!! It was a long time coming! This was truly and extraordinary "social experiment!" Thank you everyone who came and partook of this crazy and outlandish event. Whether you were a bartender, old friend, new friend or a passerby you help made 30 days of debauchery a huge success. My wish is that WE all can stay connected and in touch not only for the good times but also the tough times because you now have a new friend in me! There will be more excursions ahead, so stay tune, but in the mean time be nice to the earth and each other!

I'm down and I'm out! Peace in the mid East!! Signing off til next time!!!

Truly yours,

sCo-D

Barack Jr. Says:


Greetings all. I don't know how many of you are going to read this post. After all it it an extremely late entry. Trader Sam's was the shit. We definitely saved the best for last. It was our biggest turn out. I cannot speak for everyone, but I was drunk. I felt like Michael Jordan, wearing the number 45 jersey, stepping back on to the home court after he returned from retirement. Once we became old enough to drink, legally, Trader Sam's was our first home. For ACP this is where we first learned how to drink, and more importantly, how to conduct our selves while drinking at random saloons across the face of the earth. Fred, Demo and the rest of the family at Trader Sam's have always treated us as just that, family. It was only right that on the 30th day of June in the year of our Lord 2010 we return home to family to finish what we started. Thank you all for showing up in support of the thirty day project, and i hope everyone put there grab bag to good use. God knows some of you need some lotion!




Over all the ACP was a success. We found several new bars and places to have fun. People were able to come out and enjoy them selves amongst friends and family. Several connections were made, some were reconnections with old friends. It was a great time and I look forward to seeing you all at the reunion.


E*Fizzle Says:

Wow... absolutely amazing! We made it. I need to thank my guardian angel for allowing me to get through the 30 days of June 2010 in one piece. A rubber bag, pine box, Intensive Care, or jail cell could have been the outcome, thankfully not. Met some really great new people (you know who you are)... on top of that, it's always cool reconnecting with friends that all go back more than a decade! Had a f*ckin' ball, damn-near every night definition of EPIC!


Is there another 30 Days in my future... hmmm, need to ask the debauchery genie about that one! Props to the All City Firm, and everyone else who tolerated the Fizzle week after week. To all the hearts I broke... haha, yeah right! A new beginning: I have chosen to live this new month like a monk, in isolation, in silence, yet without the distilled grains, hypnotizing chants, and religious directive. The 30 Days of Debauchery will only exist in archives printed on parchment made from baby dinosaur skin, under lock and key, day and night. Thanks to all who were able to join and unite in a little bit of history. ¡Salud!

Until the next time.....  "All City Project Thanks You!" 

2010: Day 29: Bruno's on Fillmore

An... "AllCityProject" wouldn't be so named if it did not fully represent/ change a... or every neighborhood... and as many historically relevant landmarks as absolutely possible. The Fillmore "Jazz" District is one of the city's most notable entertainment landmarks and has been since the mid to late 1940's. Also referred to as the Harlem of the West... the Fillmore has seen it's fair share of change, growth, and gentrification... yet has somehow managed to keep most it's flavor and historical flare throughout countless and massive redevelopment projects, and an influx of "visitors" turned "natives". Beginning in 1880 or so... through the 1890's... the original inhabitants of the cobble stoned Fillmore streets were Jewish and Japanese, working class migrants, that were forced to move away from the overcrowded streets of San Francisco's Downtown and local marine docks. The Jewish and Japanese community began to grow and thrive during those years and there were a number of vegetable gardens, butchers, and bakeries readily available for the growing wave of new inhabitants.
Yet, just a short time later... after the 1906 earthquake and ensuing mass destruction; most of the city (east of Van Ness) lay in ruins and burnt to the ground. The Fillmore miraculously managed to stay virtually unscathed and unharmed... and soon became the City's main thoroughfare and place of commerce while the reconstruction of San Francisco's infrastructure went underway!
Once the political machine was able to return to a rebuilt City Hall... the Fillmore became the premiere place for food, arts, and entertainment. Shortly there after, many of the Jewish inhabitants moved to other areas of the city. A huge number of Japanese, African American, Filipino, and Russian families and business owners moved in to fill the void. Fast Forward 75 years...
Now, The Fillmore District continues to remain one of the City's premiere locations for great live entertainment, great food, festivals, art, and business.
Despite several major face lifts, tummy tucks, and metaphorical nose jobs...The Fillmore District remains a major staple and destination for locals and tourists.
The All City Project took the party to Bruno's, located at 1375 Fillmore just south of Geary Blvd. Now...this place had a lot of flavor and a great feel. The walls are covered in great pictures, action shots, posters, paintings, and memorabilia of Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, The Rat Pack, and a host of other musicians.
The first thing that jumps out at you, once you walk in, besides the great pictures and perfect choice in paint color; is THE MASSIVE GRANITE BAR AND BLINDINGLY LARGE FLAT SCREEN TELEVISION!!! Although, Bruno's only serves beer and wine, they have a great selection of both to keep your palate pacified. The Kitchen is open and you can see that hot ass oven blazing away and the great crew in the back working hard! Mike was the cool boss man of the house, and Audea (The AUSSIE) was our bartender and server. They were both extremely friendly and receptive to our little social experiment. Mike even invited us to come and watch WORLD CUP for the semi-finals and finals. Right on you two. The food was great and the service was great.
So, if you are looking for a great place to eat (just don' sit near that hot ass oven), drink, and enjoy a historical neighborhood at it's finest...I suggest you get off your high horse, take your bee-hind down to the Fillmore District, south of Geary Blvd, and enjoy Bruno's great eats and atmosphere.
Thank you: ACP, Ed, Jah Dolla, Phil, Laurie, Damian, Joanne, Rob and Sonia, Otmar, Jamal, Mike and Audea.
Don't forget to come down to see the World Cup during the semi-finals and finals @9am.

My name is Stretchvet and I approve this message!

2010: Day 28: Pilsner Inn

2010: Coming off a weekend where SF Pride celebrated forty-years of diversity with a massive parade and festival, All City Project was not far behind. Monday night ACP celebrated day 28 in the Castro, yes, you heard right in the Castro. After all, All City would not be all city if we didn't hit San Francisco's infamous Castro.

Pilsner Inn, located at 225 Church St, is a goulash of pro-sports, patio, pinatas and penguins (how's that alliteration). The place is very spacious both inside and out. It has a very comfy back patio that goes great in the summer heat. Along with the layout, PI has 24 beers on draft that are eclectic as the Pride flag that hangs. Some notable drafts are the Boonville (amber ale), Hell or High Watermelon (wheat), Fat Tire, Chimay, Boddingtons, Ace Perry, Stock Top and of course (hey) Big Daddy. In addition to the taps there are many other bottle beers that I'm sure one can find a niche for. Pilsner Inn, does not have a Happy Hour, instead they hosts all day daily specials (that switches day to day) which is fantastic because you can show up when you show up.

Our bartender for the night was Mike (you rock!!). He was nice, knowledgeable and attentive to ACP's copious drinking abilities. Although, I did not have any cocktails, Mike makes a mean margarita for those who dare to take the taste test. Prices are fair and the service do you justice. If you're looking for a good time, want to meet interesting people and have some drinks visit Pilsner Inn.

PI has many activities and games to keep you occupied and drinking. They boast a pool table, 2 flat-screens for your sporting needs, 3 pinball machines, a few other misc. games, a digital jukebox and my favorite Cali Lotto. The best thing off all is that they provide condoms for the promiscuousness in all of us. Thanks PI for the jimmies!!!! Muahahahah!!!

A big thank you to all those who showed up and kick it with ACP! Big ups to Ian, Shakeena, Katie-doll, San Pancho Libre, Stretchvet, Rally Oh, Barack Jr, Stephanie (Backstreet Bitches, really?) and to all the ladies & fine handsome menssss that was clocking me and my crew (what would you do? if you can get with me and my crew?) ACP loves you!!!

My name is sCo-D and I have pride!!!

2010: Day 27: Black Magic Voodoo Lounge

2010:

Welcome to the Black Magic Voodoo Lounge! They don’t call this place Black Magic for nothing. Real VooDoo dolls hang above the bar, so don’t be cheap to the bartenders. They might put a Hex on your Cosmo. I kinda felt like I was in the witch doctor’s house.

Sunday’s are more laid back; Chill day for the debauchery. This place is small, but cozy.
Galvin was our bartender for the night and he was more than happy to assist the debauchery on Day 27. They have lots of bars on tap. (Big Daddy IPA, Hefeweizen, Stella, Anchor, Guinness, Sierra, Pabst Blue Ribbon) They didn’t have a juke box, but he did let Stretch play his ipod. “Neo Soul for everybody!” J/K Stretch. Cash only, so hit the ATM before you come.

Shot outs to Sara, Kristin (your mom in the house!), Asia, Chelsea, Angel, Rose, Clark, Ian, Greg, and Gildas. You really like us…

After 27 days of Debauchery, I’m gonna need a vacation from the madness of this social experiment. I know the ACP (All City Project) crew is tired, running out of money, and thinking about the next 30 days…Sobriety! Big-ups to Barack Jr. for doing the runs over the GG bridge 4 times! You’re a Mack! To our Guest writer E*Fizzle. Other than the ACP crew, you have been out with us since day 1. Your application has been approved! Don’t have to tell you twice, you already have your stripes! Well boys, we just finished turn Four and we are smashing to the finish line. “Ramming speed, Full Power!”

*Rally Oh

Have you ever…..Productions

2010: Day 26: The Final Final

The agony of defeat. Day 26 was all about the World Cup: USA vs Ghana, not the other Day 26 (that weak-ass R&B group Diddy tried to push on MTV). The Final Final (on Baker and Greenwich) was packed, if you got there after 11:30am there was a 30 minute wait in line outside before getting in. Heads from the All City Firm arrived early and did their thing before returning back north for their friend's wedding. I go back like damn-near ten years with The Final Final... used to have Golden Tee™ tournaments and free drinks, all on the company tab circa 2001 (Bless the Gold Coast Sports Club™!). Definitely a sports bar without a doubt, there is ton of SF Giants and 49er parapheranalia clattered everywhere.

The atmosphere was intense during the game... the highlight was probably when the US tied the game 1-1, the place erupted. You could feel the disappointment when Team USA ended up losing 2-1 in extra time. The clientel were well behaved, most seemed a little older, like late 30s+.

The Marina is notorious for douche-like yuppy transplant scum, but I didn't get that vibe that day; everyone seemed respectable (temporarily perhaps). Nadene was the bartender and did a great job keeping up with massive traffic. Scott worked the door and was cool, I vaguely remembered him from back in the day.

All-City, Roxy, Sara, Fouad and Kristin were all in attedence. See yall soon, the finish line is fast approaching and there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Side note: It was a bad day for the USA and Russia: Not only did Team USA get eliminated from the World Cup, Fedor Emelianenko (A Russian fighter, hyped to be the toughest man on Earth) suffered his first real loss to the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt Fabricio Werdum (a 6:1 underdog) at the HP Pavilion in San Jose.

This has been an E*Fizzle™ Production.
