In any case, I don’t mind saying, you guys could stop reading this blog altogether and just start following Kevin Monty on Twitter and you’d probably be okay. Link.

I know everybody’s totally over bacon, but I’m not. Bacon news:

Breaking news: House-made bacon finally ready! And OMG it’s so good. In the pre-pack case, top right shelf.

Violet Blue at the SF Appeal today outlines how a recent piece by Matt Smith at SF Weekly is unbalanced and irresponsible, and responsible for a loss of funding at neighborhood business Kink.com.

Blue, in addition to asserting that the Weekly might should be lumped in with mainstream media, offers testimony from parties in the kink community offended by Smith’s slant:

Lorelei Lee responded to Smith’s accusations saying, “Mr. Smith’s repeated use of the terms ‘torture’ and ‘impalement’ to describe BDSM and dildo play demonstrates a total lack of understanding for the respectful, consensual, pre-negotiated, intimate, and often-joyful interaction that is BDSM.”

Well if this isn’t just the best pitch ever. Telephone and Soup sent us the above doodle along with the following details:

There’s more than a hundred of us [at Art Explosion Studios] which means lots and lots of art. And lots and lots of free wine at the opening reception. It’s an all weekend thing where folks can come and go, take a peak at all the artists’ work spaces and get some art straight from the source.

Friday, April 24th opening reception 7-11 pm
Saturday, April 25th 12-5 pm
Sunday, April 26th 12-5 pm

We’re at 744 Alabama, between 19th and 20th street, on the third floor. Telephone and Soup are at studio #326.

This is going to be good. Telephone and Soup spent some time in Mali where they learned how to stencil like pros. And now they’re putting the skill to use on a bunch of old disembodied window panes and frames.

And even if you don’t like that stuff, again there are a million other artists to visit as well, and lots of wine. And if that doesn’t do it, come for the panoramic views of the Mission from the building’s big, broad windows high above Harrison Street. (With Medjool shuttering and everything, this is sure to become the next neighborhood hotspot.)

My Lucky Number’s One came across this scene last night and asked, “What?” And I’ll second that: Huh?

But seriously, this is the kind of mischief I like.

Reader mcas just IMed me the link to MTV’s Pussy Natural Energy, adding:

…was the [Pussy Juice] tag just a viral campaign?

Seitan shortage in the Mission!!! Bender’s and Weird Fish out of seitan

Bender’s was running low Wednesday night too. Is this a legit deficit? Link.
