Tall-Can Kitty

Tall-Can Kitty opts for a 24-ounce Banquet Beer! Cute choice, Tall-Can Kitty!

(Except of course for Coors hating homosexuals and all. Shame on you, Tall-Can Kitty.)

Don't Start Your Holiday Shopping Yet

The Noise Pop Holiday Shop just might have everything you need! Oh, and look, we’re co-presenting this year. You’re welcome! AND it’s at the Verdi Club, which I bet you STILL haven’t been to. Pencil it in, already.

And like the poster says, contact Molly if you’d like to vend.

 

Most Badass Cellphone Photography Crew on Internet Publishes Real-Life Zine

Cellybrain is a Flickr account that a bunch of people text rad photos to on a regular basis. It’s all cellphone photos, and it’s some of the best stuff on the internet.

And now you can get it in print. It’s a best-of compilation basically, so you run the risk of missing out on some choice B-sides or whatever. But definitely check it out.

Fun With Skitchin'

After all that hot debate about skitchin’ earlier this week, this scene was a pleasant surprise. But, is it true skitchin’ or ain’t it?

Who gives a shit? It’s cute.

Fridge Kat

Our pal -… has been on top of everything important lately. First the Nazi knives, now this.

Now can someone please paint us a mural based on this cute kitty? Divisadero Street should not get to have all the fun.

This

The Mission is really doing well fashion-wise lately. This is the second time this month I’ve had to title a post “This” after an outfit left me at a total loss for words. (Surely you’ll recall the last one.)

Anyway, this scene comes from Gravel & Gold. They titled it “Man Friendly,” which I guess addresses the fact that most of us wouldn’t immediately peg that coat as menswear. Shows to go ya.

Rad Volvo

I always say I’d like to see Joey Ramone, the Pope, Mickey Rourke and Lil Mama cruising around in the Mission’s famous turreted Cadillac. Who belongs in this speedy machine?

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
