Late last night we received this email:

Violent Rape @ 19th n capp 

Sunday night, one A.M, Nineteenth and Capp. She was walking to her home two blocks away from Bender’s. She was dragged into a driveway by two unknown assailants after leaving Bender’s. They took all her cash and both of them raped her, so severely that she now has eight stitches in her cervix. The entire lower half of her body is black and blue.

The rape was reported at SFGH as well as in a police report, and also to SF WAR. If necessary, my friend is willing to provide hospital records with her name blacked out as evidence.

We are all so shaken by this event and feel powerless to do anything. We decided, with the approval of the victim, to maybe try to get this information out via the community blogs, so people can take the necessary precautions when walking home.

Today the following, which includes a description of the alleged rapists, started making its way around Facebook:

Okay people. I need your help, and this shit is important. One of my friends was VIOLENTLY ASSAULTED and RAPED by two men she did not know Sunday night at 19th and Capp. You wanna get graphic? I’m talking stitches in the cervix. With her permission, I’ve written to the two local mission blogs, asking them to publish this incident. Nothing. Police help? NOTHING. Then today my friend saw two dudes walking down the street matching the descriptions of the attackers. One had scratches on his face that correspond with the attack. Two Hispanic men, between 20-25. One stocky, one lean, one with obvious scratches on his face. So help me out. Share this info. At the very least, maybe we can tell women in the area to be on the alert. Any other suggestions?? I feel helpless and ANGRY.

Update: Mission Loc@l spoke with the victim and has more information.

Wowow. To win, in the comments section below, ask the Hard Frenchers a question NOT on their Hard French Hearts Los Homos Pride 2012 FAQ. Make it a good one. Hard French and Mission Mission will pick the best one, based on merit, and maybe they’ll answer it or maybe you’ll just win the contest. Contest ends at noon on Wednesday.

Just look at this band. This is the Crystal Ark. Not only do they look like this, but also at least two of the people in this picture were also in our dearly departed LCD Soundsystem. Omg, right? You will want to attend this show (which takes place this Friday night).

To win tickets, tell us your best crystal-related or horse-meat-related story in the comments section below. A winner will be chosen based on merit and awarded a pair of tickets. Contest ends at noon on Wednesday.

To buy tickets, see here.

Thanks to local crew Honey Soundsystem for making this contest possible.

Wait, it’s kind of triangular. It’s not a merkin, is it? Oh dear.

Wow!

The song builds and builds and gets better and better. Just watch:

Follow local band Windham Flat for updates.

There won’t be another one in the Mission until a couple weeks from now, but until then, you get to choose from the two next-best SF neighborhoods: the Lower Haight and the East Bay. First up, ’80s Nite, tonight:

Next up, a party in the East Bay on Saturday night, featuring $1 beers and $1 slices of pizza — and fried olives and fancy cocktails, apparently:
