Stellar Mall Dining, Vegas Style
If
No matter how much I claim to be a Northern California girl, you just can't take the Southern Cal mall rat out of me. So when I first stepped into the new Westfield Centre at 5th and Market in downtown San Francisco, my heart skipped a beat at the excellent selection of boutiques. But this gargantuan, 1.5 million square-foot mall not only tempted the shopaholic in me but also called to my literal hunger with its plethora of dining possibilities.

Still Jerkin' Around After 25 Years
The Circle Jerks are a pillar of California's hardcore punk community. They're crass, raunchy and loud. What else would you expect from a band that recorded songs, such as "Group Sex", "World Up My Ass", and "I Wanna Destroy You"? With 25 years under their belt, the group finds itself now opening for bands that it influenced. Lead singer and founding member Keith Morris spoke with SF Station from his office at V2 Records in Los Angeles, where he was employed in the A&R department before its planned closure. The Circle Jerks open for Pennywise on Feburary 9th at The Fillmore.

SF Station Blows It Up
Homecomings are so sweet and when Audrye Sessions hit the stage last Thursday night at Popscene it was no different. Rolling melodies, simple guitars and pulsating drums filled the room as Ryan Karazjia's voice filled my ears. The Sessions' ability to seamlessly take us on the lows and highs of life is something great and beautiful.

Looking for Mr. Right
Nothing says "chick flick" like a film where the end-all, be-all for the female characters is heterosexual monogamy. Directed by Michael "I Directed Heathers" Lehmann (40 Days and 40 Nights, The Truth About Cats and Dogs), Because I Said So tells us everything we need to know from the first scene.

Looking for Mr. Right
The tagline for Blood and Chocolate is enough to make the blood curdle. "Everyone has two lives. The one we show the world. And the one that was never meant to be seen." God, how horrifying it would be if people could actually see me in my boxers, disheveled hair, and ratty t-shirt while pounding out my reviews! Fortunately, I will never tell anyone about this and no one will ever see me in this state.

Glam Couture in the USA
Couture made in the Glamorous USA? I thought real couture came from Paris! Not so, as the phenomenon of Juicy Couture has erupted and spreads from Pacoima, California to every major fashion capital around the world. San Francisco hits the radar in a very big way with not only two stores in Union Square, but also the largest flagship store in the US.
