Blueberry taco

See them in there? Little smudges of purple in with the seitan. It was kind of like when you put jam on your Monte Cristo sandwich I guess.

Only on the specials board at Bender’s. Keep your eyes peeled.

(Thanks, Jess!)

UPDATE: Vic got a pic of the specials board…

Time machine on 16th Street

Not quite as cool as when the Delorean from Back to the Future was hanging out, but still cool.

I wonder what year this dude came from:

Thanks, Jason!

Where’s the best hot toddy?

Apparently tomorrow is National Hot Toddy Day. Where in the Mission shall we celebrate?

Furthermore, maybe we should do a big official hot toddy crawl?

How to repair a felled gas pump overhang

Two full weeks after it toppled, and they finally got around to propping it back up. First, they lift it off the ground with a bigass crane:

Then they weld some shit back together:

Done.

First rave of the new year!

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."
