Patrick from Serene Lakes (pictured) wrote in to say, “We used to play quite a bit in SF a few years ago and haven’t played in quite a while, 3 + years, so it’s kind of a reunion show / possibly last show ever.” Epic!

From their official bio:

Serene Lakes started out as an acoustic band from members of Wormdrive (RIP) and Oak Knoll and then progressed in to the rock powerhouse you now know and love.

One of the other bands on the bill, Sleeptalks, sort of remind Patrick of old Stereolab. The show is tonight at the Knockout, $5.

From TCBC (pictured) come the highly relevant tweets:

Never leave your couch again!!

I’ve been staring into this thing for an hour but can’t pin down why it’s so compelling. It reminds me of playing with highlighters as a kid. It makes me feel calm, and it makes me love street art.

Does anyone care?  Did it really happen?  Steve says so, and he’s got the pics to prove it:

My girlfriend and I woke up to this last night around 12:30. This car flipped when taking an extremely fast turn from 23rd on to Capp St. Amazingly, the car managed to flip without hitting any parked cars or people. When the driver was asked if he was ok, he broke his own driver side window and ran off into the night. The cops and firetrucks gathered for awhile, but eventually most took off when there was nothing to do. I think a tow truck eventually cleaned up the mess, or that’s what it sounded like as I tried to fall back asleep.

I wonder where that gentleman needed to be in such a hurry?

(Thanks, Steve!)

Levi’s really stirs it up in people.

You can’t get mad, it washes right off.

Ran into these little guys on the Valencia leg of my commute home this evening.  Gotta say, the kids around here are getting cooler by the week!  Good to see they still stop at red lights though.

This picture is fairly funny all by itself, but some savvy folks in a comment thread determined that, indeed, this signage does not prohibit members of the fairer sex from popping a squat and having their way with this little nook. Hop to it!

Our old pal Alex is about to move to New York, and Fashionist was lucky enough to catch her on the way to her farewell party for one last shoot. AND, Alex’s ensemble was so fabulous it warranted a four-picture post — unheard of on Fashionist! Well done, Alex! Break a leg in the big city! Check her out.
