It’s come to my attention, after creating a fake banner (above) for the Chinese cheese industry, that most Chinese folks don’t know the sweet taste of this udder-ly delicious treat. Thanks to bovine malnutrition, tofu, and massive apathy, our Far Eastern cousins have little access to decent cheese, and that’s why it’s never found in their cuisine. Have you ever grated cheese on your fried rice? Hell naw. But apparently, there’s a huge, untapped market, and if half of Wisconsin moved to China to sell milk & cheese properly, they’d become billionaires overnight.

After we got hooked up with all-access passes, it pretty much ruled the school.
I got to see Rogue Wave, TVOTR, The Shins, Muse, and Beck from great spots, chatted up Jaleel from TVOTR, and engaged in various other backstage antics.
Unreal. I hope next year’s is remotely similar, but there’s no way.
Here’s my re-cap for QRO Magazine.
This is about as modswank as hotels can get, without going to Europe or some other planet. Right in the heart of downtown San Fran, the Dubya is dark, eerie, slick and has more ambient effects than a Massive Attack concert. The stark colors, blue backlighting, and background chillout music were a nice touch, but the bathroom’s sliding door was perhaps the oddest.
There are tons of those planters with grass that you see in catalogs, really cool bellhops, and an ultra-trendy bar on the first floor, making for a peculiar but nifty entrance. Their motto is “whatever, whenever” which makes for good drunken honeymoons at 5 AM, like the folks we ran into on the way out.
With a dvd player, pimp lounger, and massive headboards in every room, all in all, it’s the coolest telly I’ve ever stayed in. Our view of cloudy San Fran was cool, and being across the street from MoMA when there’s free admission is key, even though we didn’t go. I highly recommend staying here if you’re into Eurotrash or square furniture, or even if you just want to avoid the regular, boring hotellery. Definitely unique for the price.
