Tuesday, early evening. “No way,” guy at the bar said, “She’s way too cute — she’s a cop.”

She came and went two or three times.

The latest issue of Xploited Zine is online, and its theme is homelessness. The following is an excerpt from The One Time I Slept With a Homeless Guy by Virgie Tovar:

We met on Craigslist. At some point his homelessness started to fade against the background of our shared deviancy. He called me from the payphone at the Castro Safeway a few times. He sounded cute. We made a date and I made a couple of feeble attempts to back out. Yes, ok, because he was homeless, not because I worry about lunatics from Craigslist coming to my house and raping me or making me eat my own viscera in a sandwich or something. To be honest, my reticence stemmed from one thing, and one thing alone. I have this thing with dirty nails. They really freak me out, and I was worried that he would have dirty nails and then want to dig them into my back as he was going to town on my tits and mumbling “mommy”. I threw caution to the wind, gave him my address, and he showed up at my doorstep.

Read the rest for the gory details of their tryst.

The issue also features a story by Mission Mission’s Tomi Clark.

Just got an email from Toshio Hirano:

Hello Everyone

I have a set at Rite Spot Cafe on April 28th Sat. 9:00 to 11:00.

Hope see there

Toshio Hirano

The Rite Spot website confirms that he meant “March 28th Sat.,” and hence is playing tonight. Show is free.

Any reason to go to the Attic is a good reason. Elton from World Famous in San Francisco offers one up:

One of my favorite DJ’s, if not my favorite DJ is spinning what may be his final show tonight at the Attic. Larry has been spinning every other Saturday at the Attic from 6 to 9 for some time now. We hope to have him soon at Club Club You’re Dead but until then come out to the Attic for some great tunes (C-86, Garage, obscure 60’s and local music). Also say goodbye to Jefferson Greene who is working his final shift as bartender.

DJ Fort Nightly is on from 6-9pm. Link.

(I had to look up C-86 too.)

eddo_likes_you is on the scene:

HOLY SHIT. 20th & Florida, light blue Mercedes just HIT A PERSON and SPED OFF. [Link]

Everyone is outside, ppl are looking out windows, helping. Atlas Cafe folks are out on scene. Someone caught the license plate #. [Link]

Update: Okay, not a person, thankfully, hopefully, maybe:

Ok, heard misinformation. Crazy driver hit several parked cars, I think no ppl tho? No one was hurt? Several ppl got license plate #. [Link]

Here’s hoping this misinformation doesn’t get out and wrongly rile people up — on Critical Mass night.

Got an intriguing IM from reader mcas just now:

so… i just got a tour of the back space of dynamo– its more than just a counter… once they get permits– there is a gorgeous indoor area with bar and copper + wood design.. and an outdoor patio with tons of light…

Where those permits at?

Update: “..they are intending to add bike parking in the garden, as well”

Who Stole Dynamo Donuts’ Signage?

Seriously, who wants to start a band with me and record an album so we can use this as the art? I kind of know the photographer.

Over at Imsoooconfused, Myles “tries to lip sync under water for a music video that never happened.”

Update: Brock thought of a much better title for this post.
