Mission Mission

Bernalwood has a theory that Bernal Heights is hipster-free because nobody wants to ride their fixed gear bicycle all the way up this hill. So they’ve proposed that, come springtime, all us area blogs co-sponsor a race up Folsom Street (pictured) to the gates of Bernal Heights Park. Says Bernalwood, “Who’s in?”

I mean, Oakland is okay, but that’s one humdinger of a crew-neck sweatshirt. Wow. Kudos to Corntard, the finest new Tumblr on the scene, for snapping this gem.

It definitely tops the hand-painted bicycle art sweatshirt we saw, and is almost up there with the best sweatshirt ever.

UPDATE: This is indeed not the most amazing vintage find ever, but a brand-new Steuart Pittman original. Still rad.

Look at these incredibly good-looking, handmade-one-at-a-time-by-one-guy bags. The company is called Carsick Designs, and their wares will be for sale at the Bizarre Bazaar in Fort Mason all weekend. Get thee there!

Apparently, yes. Get thee to the Elbo Room, people.

[Thanks, DH!]

What is happening here? What is this curious body and how was somebody able to tag it?
