Buffalo Bomber Rocks the Casbah

This guy just gets better and better every time we see him.

Gotta love artist Jesse Hazelip for keeping us up to date on all his latest doings.

Pony Keg Planter Boxes

Recycling rules! How perfectly charming! (But are they more charming than the Hot Phat Phillys Girl?)

Burrito Justice has more pics and analysis right here.

Vibrators and Stuff, Cheap!

Broke-Ass Stuart has put together a deal whereby you pay only $25 for $50 worth of merchandise at Good Vibrations. Undeniable deal, right? Check it out!

“Here was Sophie,” explains Fashionist, “in a Peggy Noland standing casually in line at Tartine.”

And why not? Also, she found this expensive designer thing at Community Thrift! Dang! Anyway, I didn’t know what Peggy Noland meant before just now, but I’m impressed.

Definitely read the rest of the story, and definitely follow the link to the Peggy Noland online store and check out what’s up this season.

Ludacris Brings Real Talk (and God) to SF High School

As part of some kind of MTV thing or something, Ludacris made an appearance at Thurgood Marshall High School last week. He tells the kids to keep education first. Also, some stuff about God.

SFist has the video right here.

Fillmore Bus Shelter Optical Illusion by Oddfellow

Apparently if you stare at it long enough, you’ll see a sailboat.

Relax your eyes.

Dolores Park South?

What’s that? You’ve never taken Dolores Street all the way south to where it terminates into San Jose Avenue? It’s a fun journey, palm-lined the whole way, like a skinny, epicly hilly, miles-long extension of Dolores Park itself. AND, according to the San Jose/Guerrero Neighborhood website, that extension might get a nice little (really little) parklet-like public space at the end.

Dolores Park South, here we come!

See here if you want to know what all those letters mean.

The Doors (An Animated Movie)

Gifted kindergartner David Enos has produced a stunning animated history of the Doors. The narration, as you can see, is straightforward but haunting, and the depictions of Jim and the gang (and the supernatural oddities they encounter) will leave you breathless.

Watch it below now, or wait and see it on the big screen at next week’s San Francisco International Animation Festival.

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."

— My pal Valerie, writing about life in the Mission
