Mission Mission

Yes, that’s a 12-foot bubble soaring high over Dolores Park. When it finally hit a tree, its remains drenched an unsuspecting pack of tourists. DRENCHED.

This crew knows how to party. It’s after 6:00, freezing, and they’re about to break into another five boxes of Pabst. Furthermore, dude just strolled right past three police cars and nobody said mum.

This Saturday afternoon I was surrounded by four police, threatened with a misdemeanor and forced to leave the area for selling street food at the San Francisco STREET FOOD Festival. They forced me to show ID and confiscated a menu I had printed, presumably because it had my twitter account listed on it. One officer said that she would “remember my face” and that if she sees me selling food again she will make sure that I’m fined. I was sitting on a stoop selling organic, vegetarian Indian food that my sister and I made from scratch. Definitely a menace to society.

I liked that the festival got people venturing east of Mission Street for once. For blocks and blocks in every direction, sidewalks were inundated with pedestrians pedestriating their way to and from the fest. Surreal. The whole city descended on the Gang Injunction Zone to wait hour-long waits for huaraches.

Our buddy Kati J. had a fun night:

I woke up to the sounds of a guy yelling / moaning, and after a brief scuffle, he started screaming for help.

I thought, Oh god someone’s getting killed outside my apt., but when I looked out the window some cops had detained the man. As he wiggled around he scraped his face and bled on the cement. Then he got hauled off in an ambulance. Not sure why he got arrested, there were two plain clothes cops, so maybe it was a drug bust?

When I woke up the blood and latex gloves were still on the ground..
