Mission Mission

Unlike me, some people were clearly not deterred by the rain and left their homes this weekend.  I’m glad they did, because it led to awesome gray-skied photos of Dolores Park.

It was thunderstorming in Dolores Park, but that did not stop the police from hassling Pork in the Park:

While I could deal with the rain and all that bullshit what I couldn’t deal with was the fucking cops rolling up on me. I see dude strolling up with his fucking citation book and figure I should probably turn down Mack Attack and deal with this bullshit. Dude asks for id and checks the shit while he fills out his No Fun Allowed slip. He realizes my birthday is in a few days and gives me a break but tells me I got to move. I explain that I’ve done this before and the park dudes are cool with it as long as I clean up. Then dude gives me some retarded opened ended answer like telling me to pack it up and move “if you can.” If I fucking can? So I can stay?  He doesn’t give me an answer and basically it boils down to I can kick it but if his lieutenant comes through I’m getting a ticket and kicked out.

Local DJ Spinnerty‘s [warning: scrolling marquee text, gif animations, hit counters & ironic colors ahead] track, “Feels Like Rain,” has hit the top 20 list of most popular tracks on The Hype Machine.  Most importantly, the track is hella good.

Brolores Park weighs in on the upcoming dietary meme:

a bro wrote in and was all, “now that we aren’t supposed to eat in a restaurant anymore, what do you think the next ‘authentic’ thing to do is? just want to stay ahead in terms of eating authentically”

seems pretty obvious that the next thing for bros to do in order to stay authentic is to ‘forage’

seems like it’s already happening [via ForageSF]. think we’re supposed to hunt around the park/local environment looking for ‘lichens’, ‘grasses’, ‘mushrooms’, and ‘tecates’

Where’s my “today” photo? Sheesh, you kids today need to learn to use the internet.

Handy then-vs-now comparison I made.

William sends us this tip for anyone who wants to hop a fence and steal liberate some gas station tomatoes:

They appear to be untended cherry tomatoes, and they’re growing out behind the gas station at Market and 15th. About here.

Panchita’s 3 is giving out free papusas.

I love bike baskets.  Not only can I bike across the city with 30 pounds of vegan snacks on a deathtrap clearly engineered for someone 8 inches shorter than I am without getting a sweaty back, people leave me awesome presents in it.
