I live in San Francisco and my "local" is the Plough & Stars Pub. I've been hosting and attending sessions there since 1988. I'm completely obsessed with ITM but I haven't a clue why... except that it's great music.
If you want to know any more... I have a website at: http://www.TipsyHouse.com
Here's some mp3 files of me playing:
