Mission Mission

Telstar Logistics somehow got invited up to the top of the US Bank building at 22nd and Mission, and took a handful of nice shots. Can we have a rave up there now, please?

Tonight at Gravel & Gold, the first in a series of sex talks by the shop’s resident sexpert Nile Nash. Tonight’s talk is about anatomy and contraception, the next one will be about pregnancy, and the last one will teach you how to bang good. I’m looking forward to that one.

The event appears to be free, and includes refreshments. Details here.

Or you’ll end up with a giant gaping butthole like this.

Never forget!

And for dessert…

I hope epic fun like this figured into the vision for a renovated Dolores Park last night.

Chug!!

The Boo Blog tells us what it’s like to see a shooting in the Mission, and then think about it nonstop afterward.

Here’s the event:

I saw a kid in a red hoodie pointing his gun at another young man. I don’t remember what either looked like. I told the student I was working with to get behind something and I did the same, not that it mattered. The shooter was, after all, a kid, and like a kid, once the shots were fired, he ran away. I never saw his face, but I could tell by the way he was running that he was as scared as the kid he was shooting at.

Here’s a thought on the aftermath:

City blocks are resilient things. People say that about nature, but city blocks are amazing to me because they are complete neutral–they are created and recreated daily by the people who live on them. After the police were gone and people stopped making dumb comments like the one I made, the block has returned to being the same kind of ugly/beautiful urban block it had been before.

And there’s plenty more. Read on.

Standing outside the Elbo Room the other night (after Tormenta Tropical, which was amaaazing) I got really into this other project I’ve been working on, and my friend Marijke gave it a name: Hot Faces.

Thanks to all who’ve participated! Who’s next?
