Our pal Lindsey took a bad tumble last night, and wrote all about it this morning:

Somehow while falling, my foot went through the spokes of my front wheel, and the wheel turned and smashed my foot through my fork. I called 911 as a bunch of people came to help me, and they eventually had to cut out two spokes to get my foot out of my front wheel. I hopped in the ambulance to get checked out, and they advised I go get stitches on a cut on my face. Hot. They let me sit on the gurney, and we headed to St. Luke’s. The paramedics were nice & played mid-90’s alternative while we cruised over. They thought it was funny when I asked them to take a picture of me for my blog, but like, optimism or whatever. Paramedic 38 was typing up my report & was nice enough to write “did not cry” on it. We got to the hospital & they were talking about Michael Vick getting a $100,000 contract. I said “That piece of shit can make six figures but I’m still a broke ass bitch?”.

Read on to hear about the shot and the stitches and the doctor with a TV on the Radio shirt.

I spotted these on Storts as he ran past our office window on his way to work, but didn’t get a very good look at them. Luckily he shared this pic just now. JEALOUS.

Our pal TK went to a great show at the Independent last night. Great except that some loud talkers (not pictured) talked through the whole thing and bummed everybody out:

Standing by the bar was a group of four, two guys and two girls. And during the entire show, nonstop, start to finish, they were YELLING at each other. I don’t think they could have heard a single song. I really just do not fucking understand this. With service fees and everything, tickets to this show were around $22 apiece. Why would you spend $22 to go to a show that you have no interest in watching and then compound your mistake by bothering everyone else around you who IS watching it? Fuck you. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you.

After a couple of songs of that, we moved further up into the crowd and that fucking frizzy-haired bitch’s donkey-like braying receded, but I was treated to a fresh round of her shrieking every time I had to go to the bar, which was often. Fuck.

Read on for TK’s solutions to the problem.

Our pal Brittney (not pictured) just moved back to SF after a year or so in New York City. Here’s her first impression of things upon being back:

Your hair is so fucked up, white people in the Mission District. I love it. But your hair is seriously fucked up.

It’s matted and bedheady and wild, but in a super cool way that I could never replicate if I tried. You and your hair don’t give a fuck. You are far too into reading your friend’s new manuscript or teaching your adorable daughter how to play chess.

Read on.

Boba Guys are back, for a limited time only:

Great news! Boba Guys are going to be open 3 days in a row this week! Th-Fri: 6-9 and Sat 12-3 @Kenkenramen: 3378 18th/ Mission

Birthday Pony explains:

I just saw the Cool Waitress from Jim’s walking down Mission with Dan Deacon. Then I saw this much, much cooler guy. [link]

Hot on the heels of the viral success of the guy seeking a holiday girlfriend:

Two Girls, One Season. WANTED: Holidates – w4m – 26

Who we are: Two mid-twenties workaholics who didn’t have time to go to bars and dig through piles of shit to find men the last 11 months. Crap, here we are single, AGAIN, and Christmas is approaching.

What we look like (we know you want to know): We’re actually really hot chicks. Like you could have picked us out of a lineup for a CW teen drama. We can guarantee you won’t have a couple of butter-faces on your arm this holiday season. We do pilates. We go on bike rides. We yoga the shit out of our auras. Our asses can rock a cocktail dress all on their own and we have legs for dayz. One of us is tall and has a bangin’ volleyball player’s bod and the other is short and petite, like a magical Christmas elf. With a huge rack.

What we want: We need two guys (preferably two in a bromance to match our womance) to stick around for the holidays. Our love will be fake, but epic. We want to make everyone jealous. We will have Christmas cards that will make your mother cry. We’ll attend each other’s office holiday parties and be voted cutest couple(s), even if they don’t hold those kinds of contests at office holiday parties. Then we’ll get under mistletoes and makeout inappropriately in front of your coworkers.

UPDATE: They got a blog.
