Update: Fun with iPhone apps at Burrito Justice.

So says this gripping report by David McClymonds of the Golden Gate [X]press:

Neighborhood-focused Web sites such as Mission Mission, Burrito Justice and Mission Loc@l are enjoying a steady rise of daily clicks from locals and foreigners alike. Instead of coughing up change for the Sunday edition paper, readers are now using that $2.00 to buy a cup of coffee and read the news from their laptop computers and cell phones, free of charge.

Just saw someone walking down Capp wearing a face-mask. Seriously people?

Rhiannon says, in an email subjected “The Good Shop”:

A new vintage/consignment/gallery space is opening on Folsom and 22nd. Just walked by, the guys were outside, so we chatted,  looks awesome. Having an opening party may 3rd at 8.

Says Broke-Ass Stuart:

Walked by former 12 galaxies today and dude was outside painting it. Apparently the Blue Macaw opens on Sunday.

If only it were really called the Blue Jackal. But seriously, I can’t wait.

Kelly Niland today had lunch at Pal’s Take Away, and lucky for us she took the time to deconstruct her asparagus-and-egg sandwich and photograph it before tucking in. Link.

Today on Fashionist, asked to describe her style philosophy, the girl on the left responds, “Highway sick with a tank. Loosen it up, baby.”

I like it, but was something lost in transcription? If not, what in god’s name does she mean? Link.

Just what I need on a blustery Wednesday afternoon: Some slow-motion video of people relaxing in Dolores Park on a calm Sunday afternoon, set to French electronic music.

Thanks, Wesley!

All jokes aside, pandemics are serious business, so we asked Ryan Farr of 4505 Meats to comment on how the current looming threat might affect this weekend’s Pig Out party. Ryan says:

The swine flu is some scary shit, I hope all is contained soon and no more lives are lost.

It’s so vital to support small farmers, heritage breeds, antibiotic free, hormone free and meat that has been fed no animal sourced protein.

This is what so many people in the Bay and beyond are all about and we will continue to send that message… Support small farmers and heritage breeds!

Since last week I have received emails from folks saying how excited they are to join us at the Pig Out and learn more about the Red Waddle. So to answer your question… No, I don’t think that the Swine Flu has affected the Pig Out. People want to know their meat, want to know how to butcher and handle it. It’s a beautiful thing, i am very lucky and excited to be apart of it. Sunday is going to be a blast, great people and great pig = hell of a good fucking time.

The party takes place this coming Sunday at Coffee Bar and includes great food, great beer and a live butcher demo! Get to know your meat!
