Oopf

I was walking home drunk the other night and took this picture, I think because I thought “OOPF” was funny. But I don’t remember where it was. (Not that it’s very important.)

So how about, whoever identifies the location where this photo was taken will win a prize?

The Dead Milkmen are playing at Slim’s tonight btw

It’s been sold out for days, but I’m sure you can find your way in somehow if you’re determined. Me, I’m on my way out of town because my little sister is graduating from grad school. Otherwise I’d be there with bells on. The Dead Milkmen. At Slim’s.

I saw them last year at SXSW (and blogged about how weird it was seeing them open for Odd Future) and I can assure you they’ve still got it. They are not a nostalgia act.

That being said, let’s listen to one of my favorite forgotten oldies:

Surefire way to deter taggers

Astronaut Mr. Pickle painting altered to more accurately reflect outer space’s lack of gravity

The iconic portrait used to look like this:

Now it looks like this:

Stellar work, Mr. Pickle’s.

Tomorrow is Bike to Work Day!

Just got a cute reminder from Andrew Sarkarati:

Hey friends,

I’m going to bike to Palo Alto tomorrow for Bike to Work Day, so I have to leave at 6:30am before all of the energizer stations open. Unfortunately, that means I’m going to miss out on the awesome Bike to Work Day tote bag that I look forward to so much each year. Even sadder is the fact that my bag from last year broke about a month ago when I tried to stuff too much sushi into it during a 2am Safeway run.

However, if one of you were able to pick up an extra tote bag for me tomorrow, I would be tremendously grateful! Anyone up to the task by any chance?

Best,
Andrew

A bag-busting quantity of 2am Safeway sushi!? Oh, Andrew. Anyway, SF Bike Coalition has maps and full energizer station details right here. Bike to work tomorrow!

P.S. Our pal Lindsey got the same email and suggested the following:

Win A Date With Andrew Sarkarati. A contest where a bunch of hot chicks get Andrew tote bags & leave their phone numbers in it, and then we put them all into a helmet & whoever’s number is drawn gets a dinner with Andrew at Pancho Villa.

We’re not officially going to do this, but if any hot chicks are interested, you can find Andrew’s contact info here.

California Uber Alles t-shirt

My favorite local t-shirt company Cool Try just dropped this killer new design. Order one here if you’d like to wear your Cali pride on your sleeve. (SF residents get free shipping as always.)

Now let’s rock:

Who pulls CNN?

There you have it! Hard-hitting media criticism!

Bile 5 news team invents bilious story about Dolores Park as excuse to hang out in Dolores Park all afternoon

(I don’t actually know if they inventing anything. Tried googling them to find out what they were reporting on exactly, but “Bile 5″ returned no relevant results. Cool name though.)

Hot new look for spring: Stars and stripes and camo

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."
