The answer is: both! See you at the park this weekend!

Reader C.K. Chew thinks someone found a way:

Drunk, high, or sober, this statement rings true (with varying degrees of spelling errors)

I’m sure the Mr. Pickle’s staff was appropriately tickled this morning.

SFist reports:

Prolific Bay Area tagger and muralist Girafa (née Steven Free) pled guilty to two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts of vandalism in a Santa Clara Superior Court earlier this week. The 32-year-old Free, a San Francisco resident, was arrested back in October of 2009 on 10 felony vandalism cases in San Jose where the cops didn’t seem to be so appreciative of Girafa’s playful wall cartoons and personal branding efforts. According to Bay City News, eight of those felony charges were dropped, but the remaining counts have landed Free three years of probation and 38 grand worth of fines to the City of San Jose and various property owners.

Ooh, this sounds fun!  New local volunteer travel agency Humanitravels, who specialize in sending clients to Peru and Guatemala on volunteer vacations, is opening its doors for the first time and to celebrate are holding an urban scavenger hunt in the Mission:

Participants will race around the neighborhood solving Latin America and volunteering based challenges. We’ll use the richness of the neighborhood to fuel the hunt. Some clues will be found in Mission murals, other in local non-profits, others still in local businesses which are also contributing grab bag prizes.

There’s loads of prizes as well including local restaurant gift certificates, discounted trips and random dollar store finds.

If you’re  not doing anything on Saturday come out and join!  The fun starts at Reaction Restaurant (2183 Mission St. @ 18th) and lasts from 2pm – 5pm!  Check out the Facebook event page for more details.

Tomorrow (Saturday) the Mission Neighborhood Center is hosting live poetry and storytelling about “the Mission and beyond”. They’re raising funds for their GED program, and all the money goes straight to their students’ testing fees.

Help out the kids! $10 later they’re that much closer to glory! You were a kid once too, someone probably gave you ten bucks.

Precita Valley Community Center at 534 Precita Avenue, 8-11pm.
