So posits WBTC, whose dad saw this scene in Turkey. [link]

On the other hand, SFPD just found a similar cache just across the bay in Oakland (and posted pics of all their finds), so maybe there’s hope after all.

No big deal.

First this guy runs at it and punches it:

Then it gets hit with more paint bombs, and then this guy sneaks up behind it with a flare:

The flare guy makes them decide to drive away, and a guy throws a recycling bin at them as they flee:

The video shows a lot of other stuff too, most of which is similarly disconcerting. Watch the whole thing here, if you must, but it will probably just put you in a bad mood:

Bully for them that they’re so proud of their work I guess.

Just listen to this song by new local band Cocktails and tell me you don’t want to go to their show tonight next Wednesday night at El Rio. I won’t believe you:

RSVP and invite your friends!

I’d seen a banana version before I think, but this beauty was news to me. Rocky’s Frybread is basically the best frybread, whether you get the sweet (like this) or the savory (with beans and cheese and salsa and stuff).

Follow Rocky (not pictured) on Twitter or on Facebook to keep tabs on where he’ll be at. (Mostly he’s at El Rio, on the back patio.)

Mission Local reports:

Though the ribbon cutting was canceled for Mission Playground this morning, that didn’t stop strollers from rolling in, kids and adults from testing the new play field and a young boy from chasing bubbles across the soccer field.

City officials and the mayor were busy making the announcement on Piers 30 and 32 that the Golden State Warriors plan to move to San Francisco so the pomp and circumstance at the new play fields, courts and playground at Mission Playground will have to be postponed for now.

Ha! Fair enough. Read on for more pics and lots more background on the project.

This party was supposed to happen last month, but was sadly postponed. Sadly, that is, until now — because it’s happening this Friday! I cannot wait! From the official invite:

AMERICAN TRIPPS history will be made when DJs Laser Tad (aka Tad Teste) and King Friday bring a dose of hip hop to our party for the very first time. It’s gonna be chill ’90s hip hop, upbeat, feel-good jams sure to go hand-in-hand with BERLIN-STYLE PING PONG ACTION. (Think De La Soul or “Feel Me Flow,” nahmean?) Don’t miss this.

Furthermore, we’re at Rickshaw Stop this time, so there’s FOOSBALL and SKEEBALL also, plus a full bar and lots of sofas and RICKSHAWS to sit on. Dance party on the main stage!

Dance party on the main stage! RSVP and invite your friends!

Pop-Up nail salon today during happy hour. Get there early to sign up. Then drink beers wile in line.

This is happening from 5:30-9pm. We’re told Party Nails will be doing the nailing. (Thanks, Paul!)

Aren’t backyard shows the best? Rob Little, from a local band called Psychic Hiking, opened up a show I went to on Sunday. Rob went on right after the the solar eclipse — a tough act to follow — and he killed. See for yourself:

Sorry the video is upside down. Either I have an accelerometer problem or it’s an homage to Rodney Graham.
