Go Giants!

How bout this? We’ve seen local boy Ty Segall (pictured) perform at the Eagle, the Knockout, El Rio, Thee Parkside, 12 Galaxies, the steps of City Hall, the Great American Music Hall, Brick & Mortar Music Hall, and Treasure Island — and now he’s apparently going to headline the Fillmore, the biggest venue in the entire universe. Good work, Ty!

Tickets go on sale this Sunday right here.

SF Gate has the scoop:

How do you celebrate when you’ve just hit three home runs in a World Series game? You head to the Mission to your favorite restaurant and convince the owner to open up for you, even though the kitchen was already closed.

Pablo Sandoval, his older brother (and uncanny look-alike) Michael and a few friends went straight from AT&T Park to Limon, the Peruvian restaurant on Valencia, on Wednesday night. The restaurant closes at 10, and Sandoval wasn’t finished with his postgame demands until well after 9:30. But being a star slugger has its perks.

“You have to open up after he homers three times,” said owner and chef Martin Castillo. “He’s a great customer. We always go the extra mile for him.”

(Thanks, TK!)

It’s been 10 years and a couple weeks since Mission punk hero and Hickey frontman Matty Luv passed away.

Celebrate by writing more graffiti, or by getting the recently issued Hickey retrospective compilation, or by reading about how Hickey raged against the commercialization of punk (and the Voodoo Glow Skulls).

Bartender mistook “soda water and the check” as “soda water and some Jack.” Oh shit.
