Cardboard Castles may not have has many sick beats as Crystal Castles, but one thing it does have is something rad happening this weekend to fulfill pretty much every childhood fantasy you’ve ever had:

Hundreds of cardboard boxes have been painted to look like giant Lego pieces and strategically covered with velcro. At 12 PM in Dolores Park on September 29th, you can build anything you can possibly imagine with them.

The event will be free and open to the public, and will last until people get bored (never) or the authorities intervene!

Or until the gutter punks hold a mosh pit inside one!  But seriously, this sounds like a pretty awesome way to spend an Indian summer Saturday and you can find out more about the project here.

Don’t forget to RSVP and invite your friends!

Mission Local reports:

Oversized vehicles that line the streets of the Northeast Mission will have to start parking elsewhere after the Board of Supervisors approved a law on Tuesday that prohibits them from parking overnight.

Over objections by homeless advocates that the law criminalizes the poor, the Board of Supervisors passed the ordinance 7-4. Supervisors John Avalos, Jane Kim, David Campos and Christina Olague cast the dissenting votes.

Starting March 1, any vehicle that is 22 feet in length and 7 feet tall will be banned from parking overnight on certain city streets from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. or risk being fined or towed.

In the Mission, the SFMTA intends to install signs prohibiting oversized vehicles from parking on 16th and 17th Streets between Harrison Street and Potrero Avenue.

Just 16th and 17th? That leaves a LOT of other streets, right? (Such as Florida, seen above.)

Read on.

Oh and Luke says he actually got it in Jenner, and that nobody believes it. Shame on you, everybody!

Here’s a little about Brick & Mortgage:

Brick & Mortgage is a non-profit organization that provides impoverished families across the world with a home of their own. We partner with Bay Area home buyers, giving them the opportunity to fund a home for someone else when they buy a home for themselves. By turning blueprints into bricks, we’re giving impoverished families the opportunity to build a life free of poverty. Brick & Mortgage exists to provide a simple way to fund a home for a family in need, at fraction of what it costs to buy a home in the Bay Area.

RSVP and invite your friends!

There’s cheap socks and gloves to go with them, too.

This is the key question to whether I ever move to the suburbs RT @7im can you drink beer in a self-driving car?
