The battle for edgy chalk sign supremacy rages on at Frjtz, who is still in the lead for unpronounceable restaurant names.

I’d give you the address, but it’s really not too hard to figure out.

Tonight Dickerman Prints and photographer Anthony Kurtz premiere It All Came So Close to Never Happening, “a pair of intertwined photographic stories where the outcomes of human uprisings, or the lack thereof, result in a futuristic portrayal of a world gone wrong.” Badass!

Reception is tonight from 6-9pm at Dickerman Prints, near 17th and South Van Ness. The exhibition is up through the end of April.

The guy above is probably wondering whether the girl with the laptop is writing a Craigslist missed connection about him.  That should make things easier anyway and also means that he doesn’t need to worry about talking to her now.  Let the internet sort things out.

Full Disclosure:  I just stopped into Ritual to get a hot drink (don’t ask me why; I usually only go there when friends are visiting) while waiting for laundry and noticed this pic in my Google reader.  Meta-unsettling.

At any rate, Helena has been killing it for some time with fake Polaroid Iphone photos in the Mission.  Like this!  Do yourself a favor and check them out.

Recursion!

Mission photographer ::novocainated:: recently sat down a bunch of random strangers above the 24th Street BART stop and took their portraits.

Were you one of them?

Also, apparently the guy above was merely off to a party and doesn’t wear a kilt all the time.  Too bad!
