Promotional video for some art school in the Midwest features cool stop-motion trip through the Mission

Awkwardly serenading Mission ladies

For Valentines Day, I bring you this Blammos video of Mission women scanning for an exit route.

Dude with bike verbally abuses Mission homeless man for no good reason

This is disturbing. I’ve had some unpleasant interactions with that guy too, but it’s clear he’s not well. I don’t think following him up and down the street “calling him out” with schoolyard insults accomplishes anything. I’ve always taken the convenient “leave him the-fuck-alone” approach.

Spaceship Halloween

Every Halloween, after the little ghouls and boys have gone to bed, strange people gather at local artist’s workshop The Secret Alley (where I am a co-founder) and record tales of other worlds. The latest episode has finally been unleashed, and it is quite a tale indeed. If you are a fan of Star Trek, you may enjoy watching this.

By the way, if you’re interested in being a part of the fun, The Secret Alley is looking to fill one of our offices with a local artist who wants to join in on the craziness and hard work that makes that place tick. Interested parties should send a statement of said interest to iwanttowork@thesecretalley.com.

Purchase Janey’s book Animals here.

Shit Baristas (at Four Barrel) say

Ok, so this is meme-y, but it was filmed in Four Barrel:

While we’re on the subject of coffee snobbery, anyone know how to get cafe-quality microfoam at home without dropping $500 on equipment? I wanna pour me some latte demon spawns.

Removing a tree in Dolores Park

Totally thought they were gonna clothesline Hidalgo, didn’t you?

Danny Bowien shows Martha Stewart how he slaps his noodle

Check it out: Danny Bowien from Mission Chinese Food was recently on Martha Stewart. I hope that he later invited one of those Lung Shan old-timers in the back out to demonstrate how to stuff a dumpling.
