The California Supreme Court says merchants in the state can no longer ask credit card customers for their ZIP codes.
The high court ruled unanimously on Thursday that asking for ZIP codes violates a longstanding California law passed to protect the privacy of credit card users.
The decision came in a lawsuit against Williams-Sonoma Inc., whose clerk asked Jessica Pineda for her ZIP code several years ago. Pineda sued the company in 2008, alleging the retailer violated the credit card law and her privacy.
The court, led by Justice Carlos Moreno, didn’t address Pineda’s privacy claims. But it agreed that the retailer’s request violated provisions of the law passed in 1990 that protects consumers from divulging personal identification information.
The ruling overturned an appeals court decision tossing out the lawsuit.
Sad news for hungry bellies in the East Bay…
Jon’s Street Eats has announced this week (ending Feb 12) is his last week with his famed food cart out and about. He has accepted a chef position in Marin County. We are happy for him, but saddened for those who won’t get the chance to try his fabulous food.
Also came word today that Vamos Primos has effective immediately closed down their Parilla truck and won’t be out and about anymore. No more grilled chicken or steak with their sauce? Devastating! They will be missed, some of the nicest people with some of the best street food.
Let’s hope this isn’t a trend for 2011.

Every now and then I will feature items from my personal collection that I love.. enjoy!
These pics are of one of my favorite hoodies that I own. The artist featured on the screen print on the front and back is the illustrious Josephine Baker.

Do you have any idea how rare it is to find cool indie hipster gear with a black icon on it… that’s NOT a rapper, or rocker, or jesus? If that’s your thing, hurrah, but honestly I get irritated when the only designs I see featuring people of color is limited to those choices or the usual afro or airbrush of whatever R&B singer is hot at the moment. Bleh.

Which is why I LOVE my hoodie. Warm, fab, fresh and indie.

This day just got a lot brighter…
The news came out today… Homeroom Mac + Cheese will FINALLY open on February 15th!
I became familiar with their mac + cheese at one of the Pop-Up General shop days at Grace Street Catering. It was delish! So glad to hear the grand opening is less then a week away, as if there is one thing I truly love on the same level as a good cheeseburger, is good mac + cheese.
Oh Happy Day…
Homeroom is coming! Homeroom is coming!
