Mission Mission

Set off by this photo of an Englishman eating a burrito with a knife and fork, Burrito Justice got to work on a formal system of “Burrito Law.” Here’s are the first two statutes:

1. if you pull off all the foil, it is no longer a burrito
2. if you touch it with a knife and fork, it is no longer a burrito

Read on for the full story and the rest of the statutes.

3D City is a year long stereoscopic photography project by Doctor Popular

An hour from from Pinnacles National Park, we stopped for breakfast in Gilroy, a town famous for garlic and motorcycles. It was 9 am and we spotted at least 100 bikers cruising the town’s main drag, occasionally interrupted by the town’s sheriff, who starred down the elderly motorcyclists like a mall security guard about to bust some teens for loitering in the food court.

This roll, and the previous roll from Pinnacles, where shot on Lomochrome purple film hence the unusual colors. Huge thanks to my friend Rob Reeves for scanning this roll for me.

Well, just look at this beauty.  It’s even got one of those rad triangle antennas on the back, but you’ll have to trust me on that one because no pics.  Why someone decided to take a road trip from Texas to the 22nd Street Caltrain station is beyond me, but at least we get to marvel at this magnificent chariot while they’re here!

Last week we had occasion to revisit the age-old question of whether or not Burning Man is stupid. It seems most of us still agree that indeed it is.

But then yesterday our pal Dirty Diana posted this photo of a fortune cookie fortune she received once upon a time on the playa, and I think it’s pretty cool:

It’s fun — lots more bikes on the road, “energizer stations” all over town giving you bananas and tote bags — and it’s important politically. Get your tires pumped up, dust off your helmet and hit the road!

Here’s a partial map of where to find the bananas:

The SF Bike Coalition‘s special Bike to Work Day page has the full map and lots more info and stuff.

(The photo above is of local artist Jono Brandel explaining to a bunch of commuters on the Oakland-Alameda Ferry last week why riding a fixed-gear bicycle is much harder than riding a regular bicycle.)

It’s like a different world, man. Every damn time we leave the Mission, it’s like some different world.

(We gotta start leaving the Mission more often, all of us, am I right?)
