Yay Kittens!

Reader mcas came across this pair somewhere near We Be. Is anybody getting as sick of “street art” as I am?

I kid, I kid! Thanks, mcas! (Click to enlarge.)

Flashback: Mission Hipster, 2003

tgifreytag explains that this Hugh D’Andrade creation was the “back cover of the program guide for the 2003 SF Indie Fest.” The more things change, the more they stay the same, right? I mean, nobody would wear a hat like that nowadays, or a shirt like that, and god, look at those sideburns.

But everybody still loves “hipster” humor.

Read the fine print here.

Thanks, khtoo!

Clarion Alley Pig's Head

Reader Vicky K. stumbled upon this grisly scene in Clarion Alley. She asks, “Who leaves a whole pig’s head in an alley?”

Update: “Mystery solved!” shouts LindyLula in the comments, “Fluffgirl at St. Stupid’s Day party Elbo Room. There was a pig head being bandied about.” Whatever that all means.

Invasion of the Nightlife Photographers

Says Mr. Awesome:

Kinda hating the influx of “show/bar/club photographers” invading SF lately. Cant I get a fucking drink or watch a band or dance without some creepy douchebag taking a picture of me doing whatever every 3 seconds? (see: debaser)

Do any of these dudes actually get laid from doing this? Methinks not as much as I do from dancing/actually talking to girls.

Link. Well, do they?

El Metate the Best Taqueria in the Mission?

Decider says so, citing “the food’s palpable made-by-mom freshness and the warm, non-institutional tone of its presentation.” Link.

Introducing the New Dolores Park Playground

dolores-park-playground-sketch

SF Gate this morning reported that some neighborhood group and some city agency came to an agreement on how to deal with the Dolores Park playground situation, and the agreement was kind of a benchmark or something. (Link.)

More importantly, Dolores Park View this morning published this sketch of the new playground said agreement will produce. (Link.)

Lael, this blog’s resident playground enthusiast, says, “It doesn’t look that different. The slide looks fun though.”

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
