Reader kati jackson spotted this announcement near 23rd and San Bruno. I hope this makes someone’s day. Someone that is missing a series of crocheted squares for their afghan.

Thanks, kati!

SF Food Wars next month brings us Mac Battle Royale w/ Cheese, what will surely be an epic test of the mettles of the best mac ‘n’ cheese recipes in the neighborhood and beyond:

Bacon? Truffles? Sour Cream Ruffles? Nettles? Skittles? Your cat’s Tender Vittles? Whatever the secret ingredients may be, our fierce competitors will go head to head to claim the ultimate glory of being crowned champion at SF Food War’s inaugural event, Mac Battle Royale w/ Cheese! Get ready for a deliciously cheesy, enticingly carby, gastronomically explosive food fight where your votes and palates will decide the fate of 20 hopeful foodmasters.

Competitors sign up here. Spectators get tickets here. (Space is limited in both cases, so make haste.)

Full disclosure: I get in for free.

This week on I Heart Street Art, we conclude our tour around Europe with a quick walk through Berlin’s Mauerpark on a sunny Sunday afternoon:

Laura from Vegansaurus! walks up and down Capp St. so I don’t have to:

Also, don’t read the comments for this post unless you want to read a bunch of whining about how this entry involves Capp St.

Queen Larbs recently relocated from a beloved apartment on Albion to new digs closer to the park:

Had you asked me three months ago, I would’ve sworn Albion is my jam and I would NEVER leave. Fast forward to now and I will admit that shit was foul. From the abundance of human dookies to the plethora of hooligans, I’m glad I’ve grown out of Al-beezy fo’ sheezy.

You’re goddamn right I am now following Bacon and Whiskey.

A small group of people, who were wearing funny uniforms and alleging to represent the City of San Francisco and its parks, were out Sunday evening claiming to be enforcing laws established by “the people of San Francisco.”  Their actions included, but were not limited to, disturbing a small dance party due to noise (while a Mustang with no muffler drove by), demanding an owner of a moped leave the park (only after calling some sort of oracle and inquiring if it was illegal to park a motorized vehicle on the grass), and impolitely asking someone to water the grass with a Stella Artois.  Most park-goers failed to recognize the legitimacy of these individuals and continued to drink “the devil’s nectar.”

This bicycle-basket dance party was shut down by individuals claiming to represent the City of San Francisco.

The Bicycle Film Festival is kicking off tomorrow.  Unfortunately, you’ll have to leave the hood to check out the weekday activities (Alamo Square and SOMA?  What gives?).  But fear not: Friday and Saturday nights bring bicycle cinema to the Victoria Theatre on 16th and Capp.  There is even a street party Saturday afternoon until 6pm featuring a BMX Competition, a track bike competition (mustaches required), and “fun times.”
