Merry Christmas to Philz!

The priciest cup in the Mission just got pricier. Starting January 1st, a cup will set you back 25 more cents, while a pound will cost an extra buck. Hey, they’ve got to offset the cost of the cocaine they sprinkle into each scoop somehow.

Jacob Jaber invites you to email him directly if you have questions or concerns at jacobjaber at philzcoffee dot com where you will likely get the autoreply of, ”It’s the economy, guys.”

Head over to anthonybrown’s Flickr for the scoop.

New PSAs on NYC Subway Warn Against 'Train Surfing'

Either this is an actual PSA because “surfing the train” is an actual problem in the New York City subway, or this is the raddest prank of the year.

Has anybody ever tried to surf a BART?

First Date or Never

How long do you wait to sleep with someone? Honey In Yr Brain and her roommates have some thoughts:

P: Yeah. I mean it took three dates to get her to sleep with me…..

K: Three dates? Damn, that seems pretty quick and easy for someone who seems like they valued sex or whatever…not that I would know.

P: What!? Isn’t that the rule? They say “three dates is the rule” on Sex and the City.

K: You watch Sex and the City?

Read on for the powerful conclusion (and to see if P watches Sex and the City or not).

Keith Haring Tribute Debuts on Local Construction Barricade

This morning, SFist broke the news that the Divisadero Laser Kitty Mural was not painted over maliciously, but rather with explicit permission from whoever runs that wall.

Which sort of renders that huge argument we were having moot, right? Maybe, maybe not.

Keith Haring was a dude that started out tagging subway advertisements and stuff. Then he became the toast of the art world. Now, years after his death, his shit is everywhere, from dumbass tourist tchotchkes to high-end art gallery souvenirs.

And now here’s his stuff, tagged by someone else on a dirty A-frame barricade. Is this art? Is it more or less art than a real Haring original? Is it more or less art than a real Haring tourist tchotchke?
