Local bag makers Chrome have relaunched their newly expanded  in-store custom bag program, and it is RADICAL. Not only do you get to design the Chrome bag of your dreams, you get to watch Michael (bag sewer extraordinaire) put it together and make your dreams a reality right in front of your eyes. With loads of new colors, fabrics, and accouterments to chose from, you could literally spend hours picking out your new bag.

We were lucky enough to check out the process for ourselves, and got to create what could possibly be the COOLEST BAG in the history of bags. Check it out after the jump:

To celebrate its 7,500th post, Sexpigeon is selling t-shirts featuring this dazzling new custom logo. Read all about the process here, or go straight to the shirt store.

Congrats, Team Sexpigeon!

If ’98 what?

…and it’s called Square-anoia. Creator Clay Smith explains:

It takes your foursquare checkins and maps them with nearby reported San Francisco crime — so, in my case, I discovered when I went to Mission Chinese last week there were 3 nearby assaults reported.

Hopefully this will somehow increase the relative safety of foursquare users in the Mission.

Hopefully. Try it out here.

Sorry I didn’t get any digital evidence, but DJ Purple just now at Make-Out Room busted out a bangin’ sax solo during a musical break on this classic Vengaboys jammer. I was pretty floored. You’re just gonna have to try to imagine what it was like.

OR, sing “Boom Boom Boom Boom!!” at the next DJ Purple party. (Which, of course, is Thursday at Jack’s.)

Carlos snapped this gem at Diary on Saturday. I gotta start going to Diary more often.

TCB delivers the good news (and anything else you could possibly want):

Sidewalk Juice has too many drinks on their menu each day to list them all online, but they do list the top three smoothies, top three juices and top three kombuchas right here.

The Harrison St. crazy camper van was still here on Saturday. But then again, so are all of us, so I guess that means we’re all equally heathen . Not that we’re surprised.

Anyone know know the owner? I’ve always wondered what a Mexican psychedelic pagan anti-racist satan-worshipping atheist burner looks like.

One person pours, the other person spins the glass. Voila!

Because I prefer multiple.
