Rouge is a bar that’s butt-up against and opens up into Nick’s Crispy Tacos, the best Mexican-food joint in my neighborhood. I don’t mean to be a hater but the place gets overrun every weekend with drunk & obnoxious fratboys and their flip-flop wearin’ girlfriends. This picture isn’t a very good example of that phenomenon but whatever.

I’m going to have to be waiting in this line repeatedly for a very long time, due to the hilltop location of my new apartment. I sure hope it moves fast. The line I mean… I already know the cars are slow as hell! But it sure beats hoofing it over Nob Hill. :-|
