Halloween Recap

Since I’ve never seen a trick or treater on Capp before, I rolled over to Fair Oaks, which apparently is the sugary hotspot of the Mission.  I learned a few interesting things that night: 1) there are way more kids in the Mission than I thought and 2) I didn’t know I could eat 10 Reeses peanut butter cups in a sitting.

Most importantly, this kid’s sandwich costume might be the most badass thing I’ve ever seen.

Even wearing Converse kicks.  It’s like the Mission Taco met Mr. Pickles.

More Mission Halloween after the jump.

Authenticity Watch: Ramen Benz

I’m totally digging this Cup-o-Noodles Benz.  Bourgeois-Bohemian.  Park outside Boogaloos.  Trying to be something its not.

It’s the automobile equivalent of the Mission District.

I’d try to write something witty about this but my brain just fucking exploded.

Thriftown Is Packed To The Back

Thriftown on Halloween
You people are apparently going to dress up tonight. How long can I wait to decide what I’m going to be?

And where’s the party, anyway?

Drunk Cyclist is my all-time favorite blog because of shit like this (sorry, Allan).

Use Your Car As a Weapon, Get Beat Up By a Banana

The Halloween Critical Mass ride is always one of my favorite events of the year because I inevitably get to watch 3 bananas savage some aggro dude in an SUV.

 

Reality Check: There are thousands of Latinos that are deported everyday and all the SF bloggers don't lose their collective shit about it

Look, our immigration laws are complete bullshit, but the reality of Murat’s (the The Amuse-Bouche Guy) situation is just absurd.  This guy is married to a U.S. citizen, could have easily stayed here legally, but instead just let his visa expire while he chilled out selling muffins.  His plight is a fucking insult to everyone that has to fight to be here illegally, who have to endure watching their loved ones get deported back countries with oppressive regimes in power while they work for slave wages because of their government-mandated undocumented status, all the while having absolutely no chance to be here legally.

Murat had the golden ticket and opted to not cash it in.  Let’s have a conversation about the people with real problems.

Get sick:
