It’s that time of year again for the annual Bill Soberanes Memorial Petaluma Whiskerino facial hair contest… This year it’s at the Phoenix Theater with The Dixie Giants providing the music. Come cheer the beard!
Stoked the Yay Area’s team made it to the Super—l. Even more excited for the commercials. Last year’s VW The Bark Side was a standout. This year Samsung comes out of the gate with El Plato Supreme as a sign of a promising new crop of spots. Watch above as Bob Odenkirk gets all Saul Goodman with Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen.

For that Truck Balls-lovin’ guy on your list. Or, more realistically, an epic White Elephant gift. These would make a classy stocking stuffer pairing with those boobs you picked up from that Japanese vending machine. [via Jezebel]

So, real quick… Alamo Drafthouse (we’ve featured the killer artwork for their 2nd-run films) has unearthed a lost 80s epic called Miami Connection and are presenting it at their many fine locations.

If you ever make it to Virginia City, NV (you really should ‘cuz it’s a freaking awesome gold-rush town) you need to hit up the Bucket of Blood Saloon. Just be mindful of who’s under your stool.

This autobiography by Stacy Peralta looks like it’s giving ’em a fitting tribute, too. Screenings times are still rolling in so keep an eye on BonesBrigade.com. In the meantime, they’re making the classic skate film (and I say Film), Animal Chin, available as a free download at animalchin.com. He’s got his own milk carton!
This wins the internet for the week. There’s even an interactive player you can use to record your own mix. Kinda like Ron Winter’s QWERTY drums on roids, juice, ludes and some sort of fish paralyzer. Thanks for the tip, Beau.
