How did the notorious Barbary Coast in San Francisco go from a den of iniquity to being the very model of a modern major metropolis? And what happened to the culture of carefree carousing between then and now?
Let's dig into some local San Francisco history tomorrow at Wicked Ways!
The nameless 'Wicked Witch of the West' has become the symbol of wickedness in the Land of Oz. But when one reads more of the canon, one figure emerges as a complex, believable, living character: MOMBI.
This Tuesday, you will journey through the The Marvelous Land of Oz at Wicked Ways!
Cuckoos have a reputation problem. Brood parasitism has associated them with devious behavior and its call has become a synonym for insanity. But is this simply a case of bad PR?
We'll find out this Tuesday at Wicked Ways!

Mae West was an unpunishable woman: funny, sexually confident, and fully in control of her own voice. Her story is about language, power, and why being “too much” has is often treated as a threat, especially for women.
Will you join us to dig deep into her extravagant life at Wicked Ways?
Like many women in history, Olga was clever, ruthless and underestimated by all the men around her. That is, until her husband went and did something really stupid.
Want to know what he did? Come find out at Wicked Ways!

The Bank at Amador was great, we had a blast, ate some very tasty snacks, and came up with some great brainstorm lists! Our next brainstorm will be in April, for Full Bloom (curated by Martin) and Lock Horns (curated by Isolde).
"Afternoons are dedicated to my coaching practice and to about 11,000 words of content each week for my personal blog, which brings in 6K in revenue each month. This semi-passive income source is a fantastic complement to my trust fund."
