Graffiti Turf War: Sad Jose vs. Shitty Kitty

Mikey says:

While passing the magic starry window wall at 19th and San Carlos today I looked to the right and was startled to see the familiar sleeping ogre princes suddenly besieged by an attack squad of impish cat demons. Yes, they’re applying old spice. The start of a graffiti turf war I’m not eager to get tangled up in.

What's An Appropriate Beverage With Which To Toast MJ?

Our good buddy Alexandra asked, and our good buddy Mike answered, “Michael-adas.”

We discussed and decided it’s just a michelada, but it must be consumed while wearing one glove.

Our UPS man, Bill, was crying on the sidewalk over Michael Jackson’s death. It’s a sad day on Capp Street.

What typographic bliss! And a much nicer looking model, to boot.

Seriously, I’m loving this new loosey-goosey Sexpigeon. See the whole story, the 49 design, and maybe get in touch to request other lines you like, here.

BART Tunnel Police Pursuit

SF Appeal reports:

Here’s the scoop on what went down this morning in the BART delays: SFPD arrested 27 year old Dion Jackson on drug charges after a kind of exciting pursuit: Jackson fled from officers, entered the 16th and Mission BART station, and ran along the trackway. BART turned off the power (and, of course, the trains) during the pursuit.

Hit and Run: SUV vs. Blind Man

Carleigh says:

Scott was hit by a car early this morning crossing 23rd @ Shotwell with dog. Scott can’t see. The coward didn’t say a word and drove off.

did anyone see an SUV hit a blind man crossing the street early this am? 23rd and Folsom; walking dog; hit n run; not cool.

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
