Soledad Dolores, my new favorite irreverent commenter, weighs in on the tagging controversy:

Taggers must be glad that most people don’t realize how glamorous tagging is and how great the kids feel doing it. It would be sad if it didn’t make Citizens want to beat, torture, and kill a kid for altering the surface color of a wall without permission. Put taggers through a wood chipper like Saddam’s kids did to their victims. It was sad they were killed before they could chip up more people. The chipped-up people never tagged much again. Maybe some of their victims had tagged their grammar school desk or something. Taggers are pretty much the worst things going on in the world it seems. It sad and makes my cry now.

Peep this: tomorrow night from 6-9pm is the opening of Brian Willmont‘s show, “Skinwalker,” at Receiver Gallery.  I’m no art critic, but there are lots of pieces featuring cacti and rifles, and I love cacti and rifles, so check it out.

The Receiver website is a broken mess, but you can see more pictures from this completely-unrelated-yet-functioning site.

Yes, I know Omnivore Books is in Noe Valley, but it’s a pie contest that any group of enterprising individuals with no sense of class and self-respect can turn into a pie eating contest. Word on the street is that they had a lot of sign-ups and it is happening tonight (6-7pm), so get ready:

Bake any kind of pie you wish (and as many as you want), cut it into bite-size pieces, and come show off your skills! Free to pie entries, $5 for those just wishing to eat and judge. We need LOTS of bakers this time for a successful contest, so step on up. Winner splits the door money with us!

Energy 92.7 is going tween.  A damn shame.

When news of the station’s transfer of ownership dropped over a week ago, the Examiner nailed it:

Listening to the station is almost like being in a club with their cool DJs and interesting show segments. From the Clubbers Commute to the Mix at 6, one always feels their on the cutting edge of dance music. This is further enhanced by the station’s great partnership with its advertisers who cater to the station’s demographic. So any time while driving around town, you feel as if you’re in a cool club like Infusion Lounge or Wunderland instead of really just on your way to the video store. True though at some point when listening to songs in heavy rotation you’re minding you’re not dancing the night away, but trapped at a stop light in your beat up Jetta.
