Medjool is closing up everything but its roofdeck. Maybe this is why:

I hope it’s true. Beretta does no wrong.

UPDATE: It’s true. Our pal Candy confirms it.

I dig it!

Our pal Joan Horne just released a new t-shirt design, and it is a doozie.

Get it here.

Just received the following anonymous tip via our Tumblr ask box:

Cold Beer, Cold Water was at the courthouse this morning in the jury duty line. Just thought you might like to know.

Hopefully he avoided a jury and made it quickly back to the park where he belongs.

Reflections on our community response to a serial rapist

As a survivor of rape, I wanted to share some of my reflections about the recent
arrest of Frederick Dozier in connection to several sexual assaults occurring in the
Mission over the past six months. I was compelled to do so personally not because
I’m particularly qualified in any way, but simply given the lack of closure I’ve felt
regarding these horrific incidents.

Let me start by saying that I’m relieved, if not overjoyed, that he’s in custody, and
that there is no such thing as justice for the women who suffered these violent
attacks. I must say as well that I’ve been quite disappointed to see how our
community has responded to this news. Let me explain how things went down, and
where I think we have an obligation—and opportunity—to do better.

It was a drunken bash, and the photos, by our own Lizzy Courtois, look appropriately drunken as well. Thanks for coming, everybody! And a major thanks to Dear Mom for having us!

So now you can’t sit on the edge of it when there’s a street fair happening and people-watch. Bummer.
