Mission Mission

Reader Claire notified us of some interesting new branding over at Crate & Barrel. I have kindly reproduced the listed contents of the Dolores Park set below, for those of you who don’t have 20/20 vision:

• Burger/bratwurst sauce
• Barbecue sauce
• Burger press
• Insulated cooler tote (not the first insulated cooler bag to be associated with the Dolores brand, by the way)
• Mini-grill of some Nordic brand

Now, I’m not sure if this is due to the recent “discovery” of the Mission, the growing commercialization of Dolores Park, some disgruntled employees making a funny, or some combination of the above. What I’ve learned is that somewhere, somebody’s idea of Dolores Park involves saucy burgers and the cutest shade of lime green.

Or as Claire would put it:

Game over Dolores Park. Game over.

My favorite local t-shirt company Cool Try just dropped this killer new design. Order one here if you’d like to wear your Cali pride on your sleeve. (SF residents get free shipping as always.)

Now let’s rock:

There you have it, San Francisco’s staunchest supporter of the Second Amendment.

A reminder that there’s more to May Day, Occupy, or whatever the hell you want to call it, than all that shit from last night.

Hot (and saucy) new look for spring!

Longtime local club-owner JWZ on current club fashion:

The thing that always amazes me when I check out younger and/or more mainstream dance parties is how fantastically uniform and horrible the male dress code is. The girls tend to be in your usual timeless slutty-club-wear: a short glittery dress, or maybe a cut-off t-shirt with hotpants and fuzzy leg-warmers. Not the apex of creativity, but at least it looks intentional. Some thought went into it. But the guys all wear exactly the same thing: a mesh basketball wife-beater, a backward baseball cap, and blue jeans. All of them!

“Hipsters” may make some comical choices, but at least they’re trying. [link]

Yeah, man. Just tryyy!

They’ve really got their work cut out for them here, but they’re doing the trick — because Stella looks great even though her face is contorting as part of an adverse reaction to the ketchup-and-vodka quality of the Bloody Mary at Nap’s. (More on that, and all the Bloody Marys we sampled yesterday here.)

Jay doesn’t wear t-shirts very often, but when he wears a t-shirt, you can bet it’s a killer.
