Because I am lazy, here is the description from the Cal Academy: What fun are bourbon and whiskey tastings without a mechanical bull and some honky tonk? That's right: this week, sample the wares of Bulleit Bourbon and George Dickel Whisky, and learn what each purveyor does to craft their unique spirits, then take a spin on a mechanical bull in the piazza. Plus, enjoy the acoustic stylings of Jeanie and Chuck's Country Roundup, and learn about the science of distilling from Nancy Fraley, Director of Research at the American Distilling Institute. Additional music by Miles the DJ. [more inside]

Anybody at loose ends in San Francisco on Dec 25th? How 'bout we go to Crissy Field and look at birds (lots of migratory birds hang out here in winter), and watch the dogs romping in the surf. Bring your own pooch and leash, too. [more inside]
