What’s On Your Vanity Plate?

California Sunshine over the weekend posted the story of Aaron (left) and Dinah (right), a pair of sexy young San Franciscans:

I developed a crush on Dinah in Los Angeles. She’s my type- dark, busty, funny, strange. We hung out, we went to party where I folded my arms around her waist and tried to kiss her. She wasn’t interested, but she didn’t push me away.

A week later I asked her out for dinner and drinks. She said yes.

Read on to see how it all shakes out, and maybe you can help answer some of Aaron’s questions about why dating in SF is so brutal.

Cultural anthropologist David Enos is about to let us in on a vision of modern romance. And it starts, like many a great modern romance, at everyone’s favorite ’80s-hip-hop-themed dive bar:

Bryn Cowlsey: “He took me to Double Dutch and we were having a really great time, he seemed totally into me, you know, giving me the eyes?”

Samantha Wheatley: Ooooooooh

Bryn Cowlsey: “Then he was like, ‘Let’s go to my place.’ And I’m like, ’Yes please’ because I know he really loves me, and he sent a text that said “I miss your eyes” yesterday.  So that’s all totally game changer.”

Samantha Wheatley: Mmmmmm-hmmmmmm

Bryn Cowlsey: “So anyway, we get to his place and he’s like, ‘Want to watch the world cup?’ And I’m stoked because I love the world cup too.  I’m like, ‘Goooaaaaaaaaaaal’, and like ‘Vuvuzela’.  So he gets out a bottle of wine, super expensive wine, and I’m waiting for him to pour me a glass, you know, to be a gentleman and like, pour my glass.”

See how the drama unfolds here.

That’s right! On July 2, you can go to a special event in the bowels of the Armory and watch performers put stuff in each others bowels! And there’s art involved. AND it’s for charity!

All you have to do is become a member of some organization, quick. Full press release after the jump.

(Thanks, Corvax!)

Emily found this charming note outside her door the other day. So, flattering or creepy?

Wait, is this some kind of viral marketing for Eclipse?

Making Out With Lipless Skeleton Face

From Missed Connections:

Sidewalk Sale Sunshine, epic mom jeans, blue blouse, amazing smile – m4w – 29 (mission district)

I was talking with our friend Rory at his sidewalk sale on 20th and Valencia, and you came to buy a pillowcase.
You had long reddish hair, super high cut jeans, a tucked in blue blouse, and amazing unique front teeth in the best smile ever.
I was wearing a blue hat of some kind, cut-off jeans and green socks.

After you walked away I started feeling really groovy, I immediately realized that this is because YOU are magic.
Now please use your powers to find this~ because more magic like that could maybe save the universe.

Okay, we can all picture “epic mom jeans,” but for the love of epic mom jeans, will someone please explain “unique front teeth”???

Sure, but who does the voice for this version of Vader? James Earl Jones just doesn’t seem right anymore.

Little Vader

Well, time to chalk up another celeb hanging in the Mission. This time, at the Armory.

I was listening to WTF with Mark Maron this morning (which by the way, is an amazing podcast. It’s like a series of psychotherapy sessions for all my favorite aging stand-up comics) and I was surprised to find out that Margaret Cho is pretty freaky. So freaky, in fact, that she has been known to visit the Armory for some bizarre late-night… well just read on:

Check out the rest of this fascinating episode here and I guess we’re a celebrity gossip blog now. Stay tuned for our acquirement by Perez Hilton LLC.
