Jihaari is one of our favorite local artists (and karaoke singers). He’s got some custom decks up for sale right now, and for just $30 apiece. Purchase (or get in touch with him to see more pics or find out more details) here.
David Cole is one of the geniuses that redesigned our blog for us earlier this year. Now he’s moved on to bigger and better things, namely the creation of custom Lego sets with custom-procured Lego pieces and hand-drawn instruction booklets.
I am excited to officially launch my shop with the release of the deer LEGO kit. I’ve tried building it with real pieces now, and I need to make a couple structural changes, but it will look the same. Also, I’m hand drawing the graphics for the instruction manual, which should be fun and painstaking.
Read on for the full story and pics of the instruction booklets, or just buy the kit here. Orders must be in by December 5th if you want it in time for Christmas. (David’s shop also has a kickass homemade crossword puzzle for sale.)
Says our pal Do Vulcan Tits Defy Logic:

Can do.
Well, not exactly a ketchup gumball, but a gumball-sized container of ketchup. Our pal Laurie explains:
i put in 25 cents into the gumball machine at Bender’s and got this little plastic thing full of ketchup. not the weirdest thing that’s happened tonight, but maybe the most fucked up
Perhaps this is their way of charging extra for condiments? Regardless, that’s a lot of Leann Rimes songs available for karaoke!

Doctor Popular is the creative force behind this diorama, which was installed early this morning in an empty newspaper dispenser on Market Street:
I’ve been wanting to do some sort of installations inside of the abandoned newspaper receptacles spread throughout our city, so I spent most of Thanksgiving creating a diorama of the UC Davis pepper spray incident which was installed in an empty newspaper bin on Market Street this morning (Black Friday). My hope was to install a piece to get people thinking about recent police violence while they were trying to do their holiday shopping. If I had more time I would have created many more dioramas based on scenes from New York and Oakland.
Read on for the full story and lots more pics. And here’s hoping Doc has more fun with abandoned news racks in the future.
Mission Mission on Tumblr picked up on this news early yesterday and posted the mp3 for all to hear. It’s sure to cure your holiday blues. Click through to listen:
Our buddy Todd from Bernalwood is abroad for the holidays (not a broad for the holidays), celebrating from afar in style. I’m still stuffed from last night BUT I WANT THIS THING IN MY MOUTH.

It’s this coming Saturday, which gives you two whole days to digest. Some other key things to remember:
Plus, be sure to check out (and bookmark) the newly launched AMERICANTRIPPS.COM.
Note also that this is our first time throwing this party at Project One, which is located just a teeny bit outside the Mission. It’s still easy to get to though, via the 22-Fillmore or something, or your bike or feet:
