Man, Do I Hate Clowns

It’s almost impossible not to smile as some deranged axe-murdered is swinging his weapon-of-choice into your frontal lobe.

Maybe it was the entire bottle of Charles Shaw that I drank at Dolores Park Movie Nite, but I do appreciate this shark art.

Kaleidoscope Free Speech Zone, a new art gallery / small concert venue / place to overthrow the government, has opened a few doors down from Philz at 24th and Folsom.  They are doing some great things, like allowing local artists to show their works, offering up numerous language classes (including sign language.  Haven’t you always wanted to be able to order a tallboy of Tecate with your hands?!?!), pilates classes, and hosting lectures. They even come equipped with a cute dog that naps on the couches. While they don’t seem to have a website, you can holler at them via facebook.

EPA and around the bay has put together a great collection of painted traffic control boxes around the district.  Also, if you haven’t put EPA on your reader, get to it.

Shell Art Car and Truck For Sale

If you have ever wanted to own a ’99 Civic and 400 pounds of seashells, you may want to consider making a group purchase.  For the more industrious readers, the shell art truck is also ripe for acquisition.

If you have never seen these vehicles in person before, be sure to head over the Hampshire at 17th and check them out before they are gone.
