Mission Mission

This Saturday marks the fourth edition of “Hip Hop & Ping Pong” starring DJ Beauregard (formerly DJ Laser Tad) (I think he got a cease-and-desist from the Q-Zar people or something) and I just wanted to take a look back at all the great Hip Hop & Ping Pong art created over the years. (Full disclosure: I created all this art.)

The main thing is, Mission-based DJ Beauregard totally rules. Digs up all this old and undiscovered hip hop and puts together amazing sets that will *blow* *yr* *mind*. (Full disclosure: DJ Beauregard is one of my top 5 best friends ever.)

RSVP and invite your friends!

This month’s Hard French (on the patio at El Rio on Saturday afternoon as always) is gonna be historic:

Hard French is thrilled to welcome Sugar Pie DeSanto, a 60’s soul icon who performed alongside acts like Etta James and James Brown, to the patio at El Rio. Having spent over 60 years on the stage, Sugar Pie’s wild live shows have become a thing of legend. At 78 years old she can still out-dance, out-sing, and out-sass anyone in the room. We play Sugar Pie’s 45s at every Hard French and now you get the unique opportunity to hear the real thing. They’re even making a documentary about her – check out the website to learn more about this living legend: http://www.sugarpiedocumentary.com/the-music/

Advance tickets are already sold out, so you’ll wanna line up early! RSVP and invite your friends!

Note to self: since this week’s hot dog stunt was so popular, liveblog eating a 3-day-old leftover That’s It Torta Cubana sometime soon.

Whoa, there was a lot of helicopter noise all of a sudden and I looked up and my backyard was completely filled with smoke. It was like something out of Apocalypse Now. And then it passed. And then MonkeyBrains tweeted us this pic:

UPDATE: CBS has all the info.

UPDATE: From reader Jesse F., some striking photographs:

After 6 weeks of pony riding in Iceland, exploring Malta, hosting his annual hammock camp at Burning Man and literally holding down the fort during the rainstorms, KJ Paul is officially back and in action. Get your song list ready for September!

In my rush to get as many new comics made for SF Zine Fest I took a quick trip out to the awesome Piedmont Copy. I spent most of my day cutting and folding new books, but snapped a few shots along the way on my Lumix 3D1. The zines turned out great too btw.

If we’re talking anatomy, sure. If we’re talking figurative, I disagree. (Like if we’re talking about assholes like ISIS, we stand by our earlier statement.) Why can’t everybody just chill out and have a good time?
