Opener, “Monument” is practically about the bridge: “I will let this monument represent a moment of my life.” And \"Do It Again\" is the perfect combo of Robyn's romance-on-the-dancefloor songwriting and Royskopp's dark beats to blast when you have to return home to your side of the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kelis’\u003ci> Food\u003c/i> = \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/dir/San+Francisco,+CA/Guerneville,+CA/@38.2343924,-122.7080557,9z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x80859a6d00690021:0x4a501367f076adff!2m2!1d-122.4194155!2d37.7749295!1m5!1m1!1s0x80841f39fbf9d055:0x2cc3770dddb5fab2!2m2!1d-122.9961102!2d38.5018575!3e0\">River Road\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An easy day trip away, \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Guerneville,+CA/@38.4978599,-122.994786,13z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x80841f39fbf9d055:0x2cc3770dddb5fab2\">River Road\u003c/a> is a perfect place to laze about and drink beers while floating down the Russian River.

Each guest seemed to really put extra TLC into their dishes: Homemade vegan cupcakes, fresh basil and heirloom salad, sangria, the works!

We were dumbfounded but welcomed her just the same even though it was an absolute potluck faux pas. No one thought an opened bag of Snap Peas was on par with the kebabs, but that's just the way it is because the rules have never been written down and are open to interpretation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of diligent research, I've noticed that potluck party-goers tend to fall in one (or more) of these six acceptable categories.

You give and you receive and everyone's full and happy. But it doesn't seem like everyone got that message, and it's just not that easy. Throw in some food allergies, dietary restrictions, picky eaters and lazy friends and the project gets a bit more tricky. But nevertheless, there should be some kind of guidelines as to what's acceptable to contribute to a potluck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently I attended a rather stately potluck. Each guest seemed to really put extra TLC into their dishes: Homemade vegan cupcakes, fresh basil and heirloom salad, sangria, the works! But one friend arrived late presenting the hosts with a couple of opened and half eaten bags of dehydrated vegetable crisps as her contribution. We were dumbfounded but welcomed her just the same even though it was an absolute potluck faux pas. No one thought an opened bag of Snap Peas was on par with the kebabs, but that's just the way it is because the rules have never been written down and are open to interpretation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of diligent research, I've noticed that potluck party-goers tend to fall in one (or more) of these six acceptable categories.

We Long for the Moment Too Long\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTo long for anything—especially the past—can trigger any number of physical and emotional reactions. The pulse can quicken, the sweat can bead, the tears can well. I recently heard Andrew Cedermark’s song “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/underwaterpeoples/andrew-cedermark-canis-major\">Canis Major\u003c/a>” for the first time last week and was immediately taken back to the early 2000s, driving in the car with myself, cruising down the smooth and quiet Lake Erie coastline. This song that I have never heard before and that was written within the last year sounded like my 1995 maroon Saturn I sold a decade ago. My brain showed me the angles of suburban architecture, big summer clouds and serotonin. In that moment I missed old moments, parts of myself that once existed, parts that I’ve grown out of, parts I’ll never get back no matter how much I attempt to recreate them. I’ve been home now for the week in Buffalo and conscious effort to make these types of memories again feel contrived. Nostalgia can be activated at any moment when you’re living in real time and that switch is flipped. You find yourself taken back and chances are you don’t want to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We long for the moment to long and popular culture has caught on. Whether there’s a product to be sold or the mission is to connect, we are presented with the bait of summer nostalgia virtually everyday in one form or another. We bite. We bite hard. We bite gladly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64a15jJqFDk]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>II. Water as a Metaphor \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKings of Leon single “Supersoaker” is a recent example of an attempt at a solid tug on our memory strings. The perfect title of reminiscence for that way back summer of Generation X and their younger Y siblings darting around the yard, ducking behind bushes, and targeting whomever they could with their water gun. A modern-day icon, the Super Soaker (Trademark Nerf) represents youthful antics, and although I dislike Kings of Leon with a genuine passion, the title piques my interest. I even hear what sounds like a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3sB_iHFoFY\">glockenspiel\u003c/a> twinkling throughout this tune, which is let’s be honest, a kid’s toy!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Super Soaker is relatively contemporary, nothing can evoke the tradition of summer youth like the image of an open fire hydrant on a sweltering day.

We Long for the Moment Too Long\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTo long for anything—especially the past—can trigger any number of physical and emotional reactions. The pulse can quicken, the sweat can bead, the tears can well. I recently heard Andrew Cedermark’s song “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/underwaterpeoples/andrew-cedermark-canis-major\">Canis Major\u003c/a>” for the first time last week and was immediately taken back to the early 2000s, driving in the car with myself, cruising down the smooth and quiet Lake Erie coastline. This song that I have never heard before and that was written within the last year sounded like my 1995 maroon Saturn I sold a decade ago. My brain showed me the angles of suburban architecture, big summer clouds and serotonin. In that moment I missed old moments, parts of myself that once existed, parts that I’ve grown out of, parts I’ll never get back no matter how much I attempt to recreate them. I’ve been home now for the week in Buffalo and conscious effort to make these types of memories again feel contrived. Nostalgia can be activated at any moment when you’re living in real time and that switch is flipped. You find yourself taken back and chances are you don’t want to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We long for the moment to long and popular culture has caught on. Whether there’s a product to be sold or the mission is to connect, we are presented with the bait of summer nostalgia virtually everyday in one form or another. We bite. We bite hard.

Water as a Metaphor \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKings of Leon single “Supersoaker” is a recent example of an attempt at a solid tug on our memory strings. The perfect title of reminiscence for that way back summer of Generation X and their younger Y siblings darting around the yard, ducking behind bushes, and targeting whomever they could with their water gun. A modern-day icon, the Super Soaker (Trademark Nerf) represents youthful antics, and although I dislike Kings of Leon with a genuine passion, the title piques my interest. I even hear what sounds like a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3sB_iHFoFY\">glockenspiel\u003c/a> twinkling throughout this tune, which is let’s be honest, a kid’s toy!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Super Soaker is relatively contemporary, nothing can evoke the tradition of summer youth like the image of an open fire hydrant on a sweltering day.

But once it’s complete, the entire neighborhood of children is free to partake, relieving their bodies of the heat and drenching them with cold water from an unknown source.

Set in the 1950s the boys set out to find the body of missing boy in an effort to become local heroes.

They dress alike to confuse everyone and work their magic to destroy their father's relationship with a young gold-digger and drive him back into the arms of their mother.

As nighttime temps in the City by the Bay dip into the low 50s, citizens reach for their scarves and hoodies. July was never supposed to be this way. Keeping up with friends' summer vacation plans and Instagram photos is exhausting. They're so hot, and we're so mild. Luckily I, like many in this town, look good in a jean jacket and appreciate fall weather. I think SF's summer is A-OK.

This is basically the movie that ruined dating for all of us --just ask Chuck Klosterman who wrote about Cusack's characters destroying the modern meaning of love in his 2004 book \u003cem>Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto\u003c/em>-- because Lloyd was so thoughtful and so romantic and their love was SO mindblowing it was just impossible to replicate IRL.

Set in the 1950s the boys set out to find the body of missing boy in an effort to become local heroes. Along their journey they dodge trains, leeches and a gang of hoodlums all while discovering their own strength of conviction. Set against a perfect '50s soundtrack, \u003cem>Stand By Me\u003c/em> is the archetypal coming of age story. It made me feel something when I was 12.

This way they'll get an opportunity to meet the parent they were taken away from and hopefully reunite their divorced parents. Their swap is discovered and Susan and their mother fly to California to switch the girls back but the twins are too smart for that noise. They dress alike to confuse everyone and work their magic to destroy their father's relationship with a young gold-digger and drive him back into the arms of their mother.

Most San Francisco kids have memories of visits to the parlor and judged juvenile birthday parties by whether or not cake time included a scoop of hand-packed Swensen's Thin Mint or Midnight Brownie (Lord help the child whose parents went to Baskin Robbins).\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ice Cream:\u003c/strong> Earle Swensen was fond of saying he sold ice cream as \"good as father used to make\" and, although a lifelong vanilla man himself, went on to supervise the creation of over 150 Flavors during his lifetime. Classic sundaes with lady finger wafers, butterscotch sauce topped scoops and banana splits with hot fudge are the staples: this is a strictly old fashioned ice cream parlor and proud of it.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Notable Flavors:\u003c/strong> Swiss Orange Chip, Rum Raisin, Bubblegum (as a connoisseur of bubble gum ice cream I can say, as far as pink bubble gum flavors go, this is the one to beat), Macadamia, Strawberry-Banana Swirl, Sherbets Orange, Lemon and Lime (authentic recipe-hasn't-changed-since-the-sixties \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> punch bowl style sherbet).\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Parlor Vibe:\u003c/strong> A neighborhood institution, as Russian Hill has changed over the years the parlor's \u003cem>griege\u003c/em> and orange color scheme and checkerboard floors have remained unchanged. Many (if not all) of the original fixtures and ice cream tools remain making the chocolate malts lumpy like every San Franciscan knows they're supposed to be.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Patrons:\u003c/strong> Natives, neighborhood regulars, private school kids crossing over from Pacific Heights in the afternoon, tourists wanting an authentic taste of old San Francisco, people old enough to remember when ice cream wasn't a city wide debate.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What it says about the fan:\u003c/strong> For Swensen's fans, ice cream isn't a trend or a foodie hobby: it's dessert. Most old city dwellers have a go-to flavor they can instinctively describe no matter how long it's been since they last had it. You'd call Swensen's ice cream nostalgic if it wasn't such a consistent flavor on the city's palate.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>One of the\u003cem> City's\u003c/em> Best:\u003c/strong> Swensen's was such a neighborhood iconic by the 1970s that author Armistead Maupin frequently mentions the parlor in his \u003cem>Tales of the City\u003c/em>. Heroine Mary Ann Singleton enjoys a scoop of Swiss Orange Chip in the first book in the series and opens her return to San Francisco in \u003cem>Mary Ann in Autumn\u003c/em> with a trip back to the old Barbary neighborhood for the taste of the treat she loved in her twenties.

The Mogannam family has run the business since 1962. In 2006, pastry chefs Anne Walker and Kris Hoogerhyde opened the Creamery/Bakery across the street and an ice cream revolution was born. Although Swensen's and Mitchell's may have more years in the business, the Bi-Rite Creamery invented San Francisco designer ice cream. No real San Franciscan waited in line more than fifteen minutes for ice cream before Bi-Rite: ice cream overnight went from dessert to serious status symbol.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ice Cream:\u003c/strong> Proudly handmade in small batches and organic. Flavors rarely have more than five ingredients, no stabilizers and nothing artificial. Get any sundae with the word \"toasted\" in it and you will leave happy.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Notable Flavors:\u003c/strong> Basil, Balsamic Strawberry, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Coconut (vegan), the divine and much commented on Honey Lavender, Ricanelas (cinnamon with snickerdoodles), Roasted Banana, Malted Vanilla (with peanut brittle and milk chocolate pieces).\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Parlor Vibe:\u003c/strong> Who can tell? It's always so crowded, you're usually pushed out the minute you grab a scoop. Although the Creamery is in a new building, the design team kept the Art Deco feel from the market across the street: same with the new location on Divisadero.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Patrons:\u003c/strong> The Dolores Parkarazzi, Nouveau Missionites, Foodie locals and tourists, and one time I saw Cate Blanchett's stand-in during a break while shooting the new Woody Allen movie on 20th and Lexington.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What it says about the fan:\u003c/strong> Definitely an ice cream with a certain snob quotient, Bi-Riters are usually deadly serious about their devotion to the creamery. Overhearing fans talk about \"notes\" they detect in certain flavors and differences from batch to batch brings to mind the kind of highfalutin discussions about wine people had in movies in the 1990s.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Proud First:\u003c/strong> Bi-Rite is proud to be the first San Francisco ice cream made from Strauss Family Creamery organic dairy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/02/san-francisco-ice-cream-wars-what-your-allegiance-says-about-you/mitchells/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6455\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-6455 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/mitchells.jpg\" alt=\"mitchell's\" width=\"451\" height=\"334\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mitchell's Ice Cream\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>688 San Jose Avenue\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Since: \u003c/strong>1952\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>History\u003c/strong>: The Mitchell Family has roots going back even further than Swensen's and Bi-Rite in San Francisco to when the family owned large swathes of land in the 1860s. When the road widening of San Jose Avenue in the late 1940s threatened to demolish the apartment building that currently houses Mitchell's, the family fought the city and had the property lifted and moved away from the widened street. When relocation was finished, the Mitchells opened their shop in 1952 in the space that had previously housed a liquor store pre-lift. Like Swensen's, this old San Francisco favorite has fans of all generations who recall it from childhood and happily pass it on.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ice Cream:\u003c/strong> One of the creamiest ice creams in San Francisco (if not the world), all Mitchell's products are made fresh daily in the parlor with a rich 16% butterfat base from hormone free, free range dairy. In a nod to the times, the website now notes that most flavors are gluten free.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Notable Flavors:\u003c/strong> Avocado, Butterscotch Marble (personal favorite), Cantaloupe, Grasshopper Pie, Irish Coffee, Ube-Macapuno, White Pistachio.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Parlor Vibe:\u003c/strong> Classic neighborhood ice cream parlor, the decor hasn't changed much since 1952. The Mitchell's let the ice cream be the most colorful design aspects in the shop.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Patrons:\u003c/strong> People who have lived in the neighborhood their entire lives, people who moved out of the neighborhood who can't get ice cream as good anywhere else (the store sold Mitchell's is no substitution for what's in the shop), fans who want no fuss, old school ice cream and wouldn't be caught dead standing in line at one of those new fancy young people ice cream shops.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What it says about the fan:\u003c/strong> Mitchell's is the \"authentic\" San Francisco ice cream for natives who never liked Swensen's. Although the least pretentious crowd in the ice cream wars, Mitchell's defenders would rather go to their deaths then concede defeat or talk about \"artisanal\" flavors.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Dairy Dynasty:\u003c/strong> From the 1860s through the turn of the century, the Mitchells owned dairy farms going from what is now Noe Valley to their location at 29th Street and San Jose Avenue. Butterfat is in the family's blood (in a good way).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/02/san-francisco-ice-cream-wars-what-your-allegiance-says-about-you/humphry-slocombe/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6456\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6456\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/humphry-slocombe.png\" alt=\"humphry slocombe\" width=\"376\" height=\"173\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Humphry Slocombe\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>2790 Harrison Street\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Since:\u003c/strong> 2009\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>History:\u003c/strong> If Bi-Rite is the Beatles of the San Francisco ice cream scene then Humphry Slocombe is proud to be the Rolling Stones. Although Bi-Rite undoubtedly paved the way when it came to advanced Mission ice cream, Humphry Slocombe has pushed even farther into the avante garde with their unconventional flavors, decadent sundae combinations (I'll take a \"Hot Mess\" or \"Bourbon Coke Float\" any day) and owners Jake Godby and Sean Vahey's neighborhood partnerships with businesses ranging from Flour + Water to Blue Bottle Coffee have made them ubiquitous in the cuisine world internationally. The creamery, named for characters in the Brit sitcom \u003cem>Are You Being Served\u003c/em>, was a local hit before a game changing \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> article that made them a foodie tourist destination.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ice Cream\u003c/strong>: Artisanal, experimental and organic: this is where you go for ice cream on the edge. Taking older relatives here is always a guarantee of a good time: sometimes more for you as Great Aunt Rita looks at the menu in confusion and says \"they put \u003cem>what \u003c/em>in ice cream?\"\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Notable Flavors:\u003c/strong> Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee, Candied Ginger, Fluffer Nutter, Hibiscus Beet, Jesus Juice (red wine with Coke) and Secret Beakfast (vanilla with bourbon soaked cornflakes), Sweet Corn, \"Red Hot\" Banana, Thai Chili Lime.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Parlor Vibe:\u003c/strong> Traditional parlor swizzle chairs and counter meets two headed calf and Warhol homage pop art, a decor that reflects the ice cream pretty accurately.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Patrons:\u003c/strong> International foodies, the hippest of the hipsters, ice cream lovers unafraid of breaking convention (or in some cases, flavors that look a little like dares). Also, more than one customer has commented that the servers behind the counter are among the cutest ice cream scoopers of either gender, so in all likelihood, people looking to pick up more than a cone.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What it says about the fan:\u003c/strong> Although this is rather experimental ice cream at times, most fans have a sense of humor about their adventures in flavor combinations. With a mix and match flavor philosophy and more is more sundae model, fans seem to see the absurdity in some of their favorites, which makes them love it all the more.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Rumor has it\u003c/strong>: The parlor allegedly makes an appearance in the pilot of Michael Lannan's new SF based series for HBO.

Most San Francisco kids have memories of visits to the parlor and judged juvenile birthday parties by whether or not cake time included a scoop of hand-packed Swensen's Thin Mint or Midnight Brownie (Lord help the child whose parents went to Baskin Robbins).\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ice Cream:\u003c/strong> Earle Swensen was fond of saying he sold ice cream as \"good as father used to make\" and, although a lifelong vanilla man himself, went on to supervise the creation of over 150 Flavors during his lifetime. Classic sundaes with lady finger wafers, butterscotch sauce topped scoops and banana splits with hot fudge are the staples: this is a strictly old fashioned ice cream parlor and proud of it.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Notable Flavors:\u003c/strong> Swiss Orange Chip, Rum Raisin, Bubblegum (as a connoisseur of bubble gum ice cream I can say, as far as pink bubble gum flavors go, this is the one to beat), Macadamia, Strawberry-Banana Swirl, Sherbets Orange, Lemon and Lime (authentic recipe-hasn't-changed-since-the-sixties \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> punch bowl style sherbet).\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Parlor Vibe:\u003c/strong> A neighborhood institution, as Russian Hill has changed over the years the parlor's \u003cem>griege\u003c/em> and orange color scheme and checkerboard floors have remained unchanged. Many (if not all) of the original fixtures and ice cream tools remain making the chocolate malts lumpy like every San Franciscan knows they're supposed to be.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Patrons:\u003c/strong> Natives, neighborhood regulars, private school kids crossing over from Pacific Heights in the afternoon, tourists wanting an authentic taste of old San Francisco, people old enough to remember when ice cream wasn't a city wide debate.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What it says about the fan:\u003c/strong> For Swensen's fans, ice cream isn't a trend or a foodie hobby: it's dessert. Most old city dwellers have a go-to flavor they can instinctively describe no matter how long it's been since they last had it. You'd call Swensen's ice cream nostalgic if it wasn't such a consistent flavor on the city's palate.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>One of the\u003cem> City's\u003c/em> Best:\u003c/strong> Swensen's was such a neighborhood iconic by the 1970s that author Armistead Maupin frequently mentions the parlor in his \u003cem>Tales of the City\u003c/em>. Heroine Mary Ann Singleton enjoys a scoop of Swiss Orange Chip in the first book in the series and opens her return to San Francisco in \u003cem>Mary Ann in Autumn\u003c/em> with a trip back to the old Barbary neighborhood for the taste of the treat she loved in her twenties.

The Mogannam family has run the business since 1962. In 2006, pastry chefs Anne Walker and Kris Hoogerhyde opened the Creamery/Bakery across the street and an ice cream revolution was born. Although Swensen's and Mitchell's may have more years in the business, the Bi-Rite Creamery invented San Francisco designer ice cream. No real San Franciscan waited in line more than fifteen minutes for ice cream before Bi-Rite: ice cream overnight went from dessert to serious status symbol.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ice Cream:\u003c/strong> Proudly handmade in small batches and organic. Flavors rarely have more than five ingredients, no stabilizers and nothing artificial. Get any sundae with the word \"toasted\" in it and you will leave happy.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Notable Flavors:\u003c/strong> Basil, Balsamic Strawberry, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Coconut (vegan), the divine and much commented on Honey Lavender, Ricanelas (cinnamon with snickerdoodles), Roasted Banana, Malted Vanilla (with peanut brittle and milk chocolate pieces).\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Parlor Vibe:\u003c/strong> Who can tell? It's always so crowded, you're usually pushed out the minute you grab a scoop. Although the Creamery is in a new building, the design team kept the Art Deco feel from the market across the street: same with the new location on Divisadero.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Patrons:\u003c/strong> The Dolores Parkarazzi, Nouveau Missionites, Foodie locals and tourists, and one time I saw Cate Blanchett's stand-in during a break while shooting the new Woody Allen movie on 20th and Lexington.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What it says about the fan:\u003c/strong> Definitely an ice cream with a certain snob quotient, Bi-Riters are usually deadly serious about their devotion to the creamery. Overhearing fans talk about \"notes\" they detect in certain flavors and differences from batch to batch brings to mind the kind of highfalutin discussions about wine people had in movies in the 1990s.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Proud First:\u003c/strong> Bi-Rite is proud to be the first San Francisco ice cream made from Strauss Family Creamery organic dairy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/02/san-francisco-ice-cream-wars-what-your-allegiance-says-about-you/mitchells/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6455\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-6455 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/mitchells.jpg\" alt=\"mitchell's\" width=\"451\" height=\"334\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mitchell's Ice Cream\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>688 San Jose Avenue\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Since: \u003c/strong>1952\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>History\u003c/strong>: The Mitchell Family has roots going back even further than Swensen's and Bi-Rite in San Francisco to when the family owned large swathes of land in the 1860s. When the road widening of San Jose Avenue in the late 1940s threatened to demolish the apartment building that currently houses Mitchell's, the family fought the city and had the property lifted and moved away from the widened street. When relocation was finished, the Mitchells opened their shop in 1952 in the space that had previously housed a liquor store pre-lift. Like Swensen's, this old San Francisco favorite has fans of all generations who recall it from childhood and happily pass it on.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ice Cream:\u003c/strong> One of the creamiest ice creams in San Francisco (if not the world), all Mitchell's products are made fresh daily in the parlor with a rich 16% butterfat base from hormone free, free range dairy. In a nod to the times, the website now notes that most flavors are gluten free.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Notable Flavors:\u003c/strong> Avocado, Butterscotch Marble (personal favorite), Cantaloupe, Grasshopper Pie, Irish Coffee, Ube-Macapuno, White Pistachio.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Parlor Vibe:\u003c/strong> Classic neighborhood ice cream parlor, the decor hasn't changed much since 1952. The Mitchell's let the ice cream be the most colorful design aspects in the shop.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Patrons:\u003c/strong> People who have lived in the neighborhood their entire lives, people who moved out of the neighborhood who can't get ice cream as good anywhere else (the store sold Mitchell's is no substitution for what's in the shop), fans who want no fuss, old school ice cream and wouldn't be caught dead standing in line at one of those new fancy young people ice cream shops.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What it says about the fan:\u003c/strong> Mitchell's is the \"authentic\" San Francisco ice cream for natives who never liked Swensen's. Although the least pretentious crowd in the ice cream wars, Mitchell's defenders would rather go to their deaths then concede defeat or talk about \"artisanal\" flavors.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Dairy Dynasty:\u003c/strong> From the 1860s through the turn of the century, the Mitchells owned dairy farms going from what is now Noe Valley to their location at 29th Street and San Jose Avenue. Butterfat is in the family's blood (in a good way).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/02/san-francisco-ice-cream-wars-what-your-allegiance-says-about-you/humphry-slocombe/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6456\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6456\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/humphry-slocombe.png\" alt=\"humphry slocombe\" width=\"376\" height=\"173\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Humphry Slocombe\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>2790 Harrison Street\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Since:\u003c/strong> 2009\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>History:\u003c/strong> If Bi-Rite is the Beatles of the San Francisco ice cream scene then Humphry Slocombe is proud to be the Rolling Stones. Although Bi-Rite undoubtedly paved the way when it came to advanced Mission ice cream, Humphry Slocombe has pushed even farther into the avante garde with their unconventional flavors, decadent sundae combinations (I'll take a \"Hot Mess\" or \"Bourbon Coke Float\" any day) and owners Jake Godby and Sean Vahey's neighborhood partnerships with businesses ranging from Flour + Water to Blue Bottle Coffee have made them ubiquitous in the cuisine world internationally. The creamery, named for characters in the Brit sitcom \u003cem>Are You Being Served\u003c/em>, was a local hit before a game changing \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> article that made them a foodie tourist destination.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Ice Cream\u003c/strong>: Artisanal, experimental and organic: this is where you go for ice cream on the edge. Taking older relatives here is always a guarantee of a good time: sometimes more for you as Great Aunt Rita looks at the menu in confusion and says \"they put \u003cem>what \u003c/em>in ice cream?\"\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Notable Flavors:\u003c/strong> Blue Bottle Vietnamese Coffee, Candied Ginger, Fluffer Nutter, Hibiscus Beet, Jesus Juice (red wine with Coke) and Secret Beakfast (vanilla with bourbon soaked cornflakes), Sweet Corn, \"Red Hot\" Banana, Thai Chili Lime.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Parlor Vibe:\u003c/strong> Traditional parlor swizzle chairs and counter meets two headed calf and Warhol homage pop art, a decor that reflects the ice cream pretty accurately.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Patrons:\u003c/strong> International foodies, the hippest of the hipsters, ice cream lovers unafraid of breaking convention (or in some cases, flavors that look a little like dares). Also, more than one customer has commented that the servers behind the counter are among the cutest ice cream scoopers of either gender, so in all likelihood, people looking to pick up more than a cone.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>What it says about the fan:\u003c/strong> Although this is rather experimental ice cream at times, most fans have a sense of humor about their adventures in flavor combinations. With a mix and match flavor philosophy and more is more sundae model, fans seem to see the absurdity in some of their favorites, which makes them love it all the more.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Rumor has it\u003c/strong>: The parlor allegedly makes an appearance in the pilot of Michael Lannan's new SF based series for HBO.

Thailand. Brooklyn. The Outer Banks. Belize. But what I want to talk about is Reno. Though you can certainly go to Reno year round, there is something extra special about going in the summer when this gem of a city rises up out of the desert heat to embrace you in all its grimy glamour. With some of \u003cstrong>the best\u003c/strong> thrift shopping around, \u003ca href=\"http://oldgranitestreeteatery.com/\">really good restaurants\u003c/a> and one \u003ca href=\"http://www.craftreno.net/aboutcraft/\">wine/beer bar \u003c/a>complete with cute bartenders, there's also the go-go dancing delight that is \u003ca href=\"http://www.silverlegacyreno.com/reno-clubs/aura-ultra-lounge/\">Club Aura\u003c/a> and the hidden Italian restaurant serving cold red wine in carafes, whose name I will not write here because it feels like a secret. But that’s the beauty of Reno. You will always discover something secret. A cut-throat karaoke competition with Dolly Parton look-alikes. An art piece of everyone’s life dreams written on a chalkboard in an empty parking lot. A beer festival with a rock band comprised of all the local cops. The fact that you have a dormant gambling addiction. There is of course also the thrill of sipping free watered down cocktails in an evening gown while traipsing over a carpet from the '70s with your nearest and dearest, and practicing the zen of penny slots so as to only lose approximately $5 in 48 hours. Reno never gets old and is the best, cheapest summer getaway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>2.

Wailing and plaintive but still too-cool, fraught but composed, with lyrics seeking forgiveness and bemoaning being wronged, there’s everything to love about these girls. They will be playing at the Independent on June 26 and I will be there with bells on. The awesomely weirdo uber-hipster sisters of \u003ca href=\"http://princerama.net/ABOUT\">Prince Rama\u003c/a> will be at The Chapel on July 1. On their website, they explain that they \"invented ten different pop bands that died during the apocalypse, channeling the ghosts of each one to perform the various songs.\" It sort of sounds like that, even if they are elaborately kidding. And then Soft Metals is at the Rickshaw on July 24 (with \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15597-in-the-air/\">a new album out July 16\u003c/a>).

Solnit writes essays that are somehow, always, about everything. If you haven't read \u003cem>A Field Guide to Getting Lost\u003c/em> (\u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2012/06/beyonce-hints-inspiration-her-babys-name/53423/\">Beyonce\u003c/a> has...which kind of blows my mind!), then get on that.

I read an excerpt in Vanity Fair on the plane (see #1) and, despite myself, was riveted. I don't think it's just because I was trying to forget I was thousands of feet above the earth, but it might have been. Summer is also a good time to catch up on winter and spring books you might not have gotten to yet like James Salter’s newest, \u003cem>All That Is\u003c/em> and the lovely Karen Russell’s \u003cem>Vampires in the Lemon Grove.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>4.

Bangkok, one of my favorite cities, as imagined by Nicolas Winding Refn, seems sinister and intriguing. In the preview, Ryan has only one line and the mood certainly brings to mind the last collaboration between this director-actor duo, \u003cem>Drive\u003c/em>, which I feel like I mention too much, but what can you do? In a world where summer movies usually mean blockbusters, there is \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/06/21/how-neill-blomkamp-created-two-worlds-in-elysium/\">\u003cem>Elysium\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, the second offering from \u003cem>District 9\u003c/em> director, Neill Blomkamp, which looks like the right combo of blockbustery and not, an unsettling and smart science fiction, if his previous efforts are any indicator. I'm also waiting patiently for \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6FhsOYXRAY\">\u003cem>Ain't Them Bodies Saints\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, with a moody 1970s Texas as its backdrop, complete with dusty roads and clotheslines, cops and outlaws. \u003cem>The Princess Bride\u003c/em> is playing in Dolores Park on August 3.

Thailand. Brooklyn. The Outer Banks. Belize. But what I want to talk about is Reno. Though you can certainly go to Reno year round, there is something extra special about going in the summer when this gem of a city rises up out of the desert heat to embrace you in all its grimy glamour. With some of \u003cstrong>the best\u003c/strong> thrift shopping around, \u003ca href=\"http://oldgranitestreeteatery.com/\">really good restaurants\u003c/a> and one \u003ca href=\"http://www.craftreno.net/aboutcraft/\">wine/beer bar \u003c/a>complete with cute bartenders, there's also the go-go dancing delight that is \u003ca href=\"http://www.silverlegacyreno.com/reno-clubs/aura-ultra-lounge/\">Club Aura\u003c/a> and the hidden Italian restaurant serving cold red wine in carafes, whose name I will not write here because it feels like a secret. But that’s the beauty of Reno. You will always discover something secret. A cut-throat karaoke competition with Dolly Parton look-alikes. An art piece of everyone’s life dreams written on a chalkboard in an empty parking lot. A beer festival with a rock band comprised of all the local cops. The fact that you have a dormant gambling addiction. There is of course also the thrill of sipping free watered down cocktails in an evening gown while traipsing over a carpet from the '70s with your nearest and dearest, and practicing the zen of penny slots so as to only lose approximately $5 in 48 hours. Reno never gets old and is the best, cheapest summer getaway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>2.

Wailing and plaintive but still too-cool, fraught but composed, with lyrics seeking forgiveness and bemoaning being wronged, there’s everything to love about these girls.

The awesomely weirdo uber-hipster sisters of \u003ca href=\"http://princerama.net/ABOUT\">Prince Rama\u003c/a> will be at The Chapel on July 1. On their website, they explain that they \"invented ten different pop bands that died during the apocalypse, channeling the ghosts of each one to perform the various songs.\" It sort of sounds like that, even if they are elaborately kidding. And then Soft Metals is at the Rickshaw on July 24 (with \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15597-in-the-air/\">a new album out July 16\u003c/a>). I saw them play last fall and they were AH-MAZING, louder and more layered and intense than I would have guessed. Not to mention Washed Out’s new album arrives on August 13.

In preparation, I’m getting caught up by reading \u003cem>Wanderlust\u003c/em>, her freakishly incredible and beyond well-researched book that makes one of my favorite pastimes, taking walks, seem like a transcendent activity that embodies history, philosophy, religion, art and a few other little things. Solnit writes essays that are somehow, always, about everything. If you haven't read \u003cem>A Field Guide to Getting Lost\u003c/em> (\u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2012/06/beyonce-hints-inspiration-her-babys-name/53423/\">Beyonce\u003c/a> has...which kind of blows my mind!), then get on that. The title alone should have you swooning. Bonus low brow book: \u003cem>Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations,\u003c/em> is out this summer too. I read an excerpt in Vanity Fair on the plane (see #1) and, despite myself, was riveted. I don't think it's just because I was trying to forget I was thousands of feet above the earth, but it might have been. Summer is also a good time to catch up on winter and spring books you might not have gotten to yet like James Salter’s newest, \u003cem>All That Is\u003c/em> and the lovely Karen Russell’s \u003cem>Vampires in the Lemon Grove.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>4.

Bangkok, one of my favorite cities, as imagined by Nicolas Winding Refn, seems sinister and intriguing. In the preview, Ryan has only one line and the mood certainly brings to mind the last collaboration between this director-actor duo, \u003cem>Drive\u003c/em>, which I feel like I mention too much, but what can you do? In a world where summer movies usually mean blockbusters, there is \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/06/21/how-neill-blomkamp-created-two-worlds-in-elysium/\">\u003cem>Elysium\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, the second offering from \u003cem>District 9\u003c/em> director, Neill Blomkamp, which looks like the right combo of blockbustery and not, an unsettling and smart science fiction, if his previous efforts are any indicator. I'm also waiting patiently for \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6FhsOYXRAY\">\u003cem>Ain't Them Bodies Saints\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, with a moody 1970s Texas as its backdrop, complete with dusty roads and clotheslines, cops and outlaws. \u003cem>The Princess Bride\u003c/em> is playing in Dolores Park on August 3. Watching movies in Dolores is truly one of my favorite things. The only way to make this even better is by ordering Pizzeria Delfina beforehand and getting a bottle of wine.
