I grew up in Placerville and I went to public school. There was a real and actual farm on campus with real and actual cows that I could hear mooing from my math class. Needless to say, the biggest school fundraiser of the year involved a cow pooping on the football field. No joke. I believe it […]

Well, it’s that time of year again for me take a closer look at the field vying for the crown of Sacramento’s Most Eligible Bachelor. This year they’ve also added bachelorettes to the mix, but I’m (just barely) smart enough to leave that alone. But if you were wondering what the extra B was for in […]

Ok, ok, I might have been a little harsh on the Sacramento Music Festival earlier today. I’ve been contacted by some folks who say I should be more excited about it than I am. And, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that I’m wrong about a lot of stuff a lot of the time. […]

For many, many years now we’ve known that the Dixieland jazz of the “Jazz Jubilee” years was declining in popularity. So for a while they just called it the “Sacramento Jazz Festival” and incorporated all kinds of jazz from around the world. Still struggling, this year they’ve retooled the event to include a broader spectrum […]

Always looking for an excuse to dress like a lady, I’ve rounded up a squad to participate in WEAVE’s “Walk a Mile in her Shoes” event on Saturday, April 28th. Basically, the deal is that we men strap on some ridiculous high heels and actually walk a mile in them. Then we play beer pong. […]

Well, we’ve reached the halfway point of Sacramento Beer Week 2012 and I’m still hanging in there. I had a bit of a rough start over the weekend when a ticket snafu kept me from the Capital Beer Fest, but I’m looking to make up for that this week. Here are just a few Beer Week observations […]

I gave you my malt, my hops, my yeast and my love, you gave me a gut That’s the winning beerku from our little contest. It was written by Paul Domich and his whole family must be very proud. Congrats, Paul! Four runners-up: Justin, Molly, Chris and Robert will be joining Paul at the Capital […]

Today marks the end of Mustache Squad 2000′s Movember campaign. Out of a team of thirty men we managed to get five of them up early enough to be on Good Day Sacramento this morning. Six, if you count our friend Ken Rudulph, but back down to five if you subtract Patrick since he didn’t have a mustache. […]

Mustache Squad 2000 had another successful Mustache Happy Hour last night at AlleyKatz. Sadly, the photo had a lot of red eye issues so I was forced to give most of us oversized cartoon sunglasses. The team has raised over $3,000 and is set to return to Good Day Sacramento on Nov. 30th. Help us […]

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for: Mustache updates from Mustache Squad 2000! These photos we’re taken 10 days into the month at our Mustache Happy Hour at Clubhouse 56. We have 27 team members now and about half showed up to the happy hour, but somehow I missed a few of them. Sorry, team. We […]

Here’s the mustache at the beginning of day 7 of Movember. It’s not really doing anything for me just yet. Don’t forget to support Mustache Squad 2000 as we raise money to support the fight agaisnt prostate cancer and other mens health issues . You can check out all the Mo Bros and donate to the […]

Movember is here! This morning Mustache Sqaud 2000 headed to Anthony’s Barbershop to get our official shaves. Even Good Day Sacramento showed up and we convinced Ken Rudulph to join the squad too. Here are the before and after shots of our crew.  Brandon – It took him three years to grow what little facial hair […]

Mustache season starts tomorrow! If there’s one thing we men don’t like to do it’s go to the stupid doctor’s office. That place is a real drag, it costs a lot of money and usually we think we’re better off just not knowing what’s wrong with us than to have to go through that whole […]

Don’t know what to do this weekend? Well, here’s what my schedule looks like.  Depending on your feelings towards me, this could help you either seek me out or completely avoid me. Friday, June 24th 8am – Arrive at work. 8-5pm – Work diligently with no innappropriate breaks, facebook time or illegal online gambling. 6pm-9pm […]

Bonjour, Francophiles! It’s time to grab your berets soak up some French culture right here in Sacramento. First off, we’ve got the 2011 Sacramento French Film Festival kicking off this weekend at the Crest Theater. This year’s movie line-up is, once again, extensive and diverse, but since I have little to no attention span, I […]

Man, there’s a lot of good stuff going on in Sacramento over the next couple of days. Check this stuff out. First, a bunch of folks who are way more hip and talented than I am will be selling their wares at the Etsy Craft Fair at Freemont Park.  If crafts aren’t really your thing and […]

  As a “thank you” to all of you fine folks who helped my team totally dominate WEAVE’s “Walk a Mile in her Shoes” event and raise over $1,200, here are some photos from the event.

April 30th is a big day for helping others in Sacramento. The March of Dimes’ March for Babies will be working its way around downtown Sacramento and WEAVE’s Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event will be happening on Capitol Ave between 19th and 21st. Both events involve walking for a good cause, but only […]

Well, ladies, it’s come to this for you. Here are the Girls on the Grid’s 11 most eligible bachelors in town. Personally, I found last year’s list much more amusing, but I’ll still give you a breakdown. Sadly, my friend, Ed, didn’t make the cut, but he’ll still date you if you’re interested. I know […]

Those crazy “Girls on the Grid” are at it again. The 2nd annual contest to find Sacramento’s most eligible bachelor (SMEB) is officially underway. Last year’s big winner, Patrick Harbison, successfully parlayed the SMEB tiara into at least 3 or 4 dates with lovely ladies who had absolutely no interest in ever seeing him again. Will this […]

Here’s video proof that I didn’t rig this thing: Congrats, Allyson! And a big thank you to all the other loyal Nick on the Town subscribers who entered…all 11 of you.

It’s time once again for the annual Best of Sac  party! If you like helping a good cause while drinking and eating as much as you possibly can then this is the event for you. Tickets are $75 in advance and like $90 at the door. Knowing that most of my readers are broke, I […]

As some of you may know, I have been sporting a fine looking mustache for the month of November. This is because I am part of the annual “Movember” event which aims to raise awareness and funds to promote men’s health and fight prostate cancer. My team, known as the “California Mustache Club” has 15 […]

These are the drawings I’ve received so far from folks who earned themselves tickets to the Old City Cemetery’s Lantern Tours. I still have two tickets for Saturday at 10pm if you’re interested.

Somehow, even though only 6 people entered my Anthony Bourdain ticket drawing and 4 of them were good friends of mine, some guy I don’t even know won the tickets! Here’s video proof that I didn’t cheat. Congrats, Don!
