Yeah, how come no local punk bands have named an album “Mission Street Shutdown” yet?

Open Yourself Up!

In contrast to our rather neggy F-Market story from last week, Rachel Ann Brickner (not pictured) brings us a happy story. She’s on her bike, she rolls up next to a bus waiting at a light. Its driver is friendly, right off the bat:

“Hello!” he said.

“Oh, hello,” I said, turning back & smiling. “How are you?”

“Great! How are you?”

“Good!” I paused & looked around. “The weather’s nice today, yeah?”

“Sure is. Perfect when driving one of these guys,” he said, tapping the steering wheel with his palms.

“Yeah,” I said, extending it, unsure if I should tell him more about myself. “I’ve always liked cable cars. They remind me of Pittsburgh.”

“Oh yeah? Is that where you’re from?”

I nodded.

See how it ends!

And then think about it all day! Open yourself up!

Keep Your Pants On

I was jazzed about last night’s win too, but I managed to maintain possession of my pants. Get it together, people.

Also, go Giants!

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."
