New condo complex 38 Dolores has a ‘butterfly habitat’

You’re in your 20s

Some advice from local thirtysomething The Fogbender:

you’re in your 20’s.  you realize you don’t care about shit as much as you used to.  it makes you feel uneasy for a while because you still kind of care about people caring about you not caring.  but once you stop caring about not caring, it gets better. [link]

It gets better!

The ‘Greatest Author Reading Ever (Totally Serious)’ starring Jason Myers and Broke-Ass Stuart

Here’s the deal:

Jason Myers, author of four novels, including the bestsellers Exit Here and The Mission, and Stuart Schuffman (aka Broke-Ass Stuart), who runs one of the best goddamn websites in the world (BrokeAssStuart.com), and has written 3 famous travel guides, will be reading for the first time together on Saturday, October 12th at the DensityStore on Valencia Street in between 16th & 17th.

The event goes from 7-9 with Stuart reading from 7:15-7:45 and Jason reading from 8-8:45 or so. It’s an all ages event and it’s fucking free and wine and beer will be served as well. The shop itself is fairly small and it will get filled to capacity so we’d advise you all to get there before 7 to ensure that you’ll be able to actually get inside to witness this ridiculously entertaining and wild spectacle.

RSVP and invite your friends!

This is how the Lower Haight parties on a Thursday night

The Mission had a great Oh Sees show, sure, but c’mon, we need to be doing a LOT better than the lil Lower Haight, right?

Here’s another important thing you’re missing thanks to the Oh Sees show being sold out

Opening act The Blind Shake are TOTALLY FUCKING MIND-BLOWING. Check them out one way or another.

And how about this ‘gram by Annie Southworth?!??!

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."

— My pal Valerie, writing about life in the Mission
