Beautiful. So much better than the usual design.

You already missed DJ Purple’s final show at Jack’s — DO NOT MISS HAÇETERIA‘s FINAL NIGHT AT DECO! THIS IS THE BEST DANCE PARTY IN TOWN, AND IT’S YOUR LAST CHANCE TO CATCH IT AT ITS LONGTIME TENDERLOIN HOME!

The Omega has arrived as this November we bid adieu to the Deco Lounge after 2 great years of late night dancing, guest djs, guest live performances, visuals, and photos. This November we present a very special residents night celebrating the past but looking forward towards a rebirth of a bigger and better Haçeteria that lies beyond. Join us in celebrating our 2 year anniversary and the end of a great San Francisco nightlife institution, the Deco Lounge.

RSVP and invite your friends!

According to the post Allison shared on her Facebook page, this creep was last spotted at a laundromat on 24th and Guerrero. Gross.

End of an era! Last night, DJ Purple officially closed out his years-long tenure at Jack’s with an intimate four-hour performance attended by first-timers and longtimers alike. Jack’s provided the $5 mini-pitchers of Busch, DJ Purple and the rest of us did the rest.

Says the ghost in the machine. But hurry, you only have 16 seconds.

SFist reports:

After seeing an increase in violent crime and gang activity in the Mission over the past few months, SFPD will ramp up their presence around the elitist yet gritty neighborhood. Spurred on by the four homicides that occurred in the district in the past two weeks, SFPD Chief Greg Suhr told the press yesterday that the department would be sending in more plainclothes and uniformed officers as well as additional patrol cars and motorcycle units to cover problematic spots like the 16th and Mission BART plaza.

“The temperature is hot right now between the Hispanic gangs,” Chief Suhr said at a press conference yesterday, although he declined to specify which gangs exactly. Citywide, there have been 58 confirmed homicides this year, up from 44 homicides around this time last year.

As we mentioned last week, the final installment of Vice TV’s Fresh off the Boat: Bay Area series involves burritos. Vice TV’s Eddie Huang concludes his Bay Area tour by sampling several of our unofficial official local dish, comparing them to Asian food, and crowning a favorite. I wish he would have sampled more burritos, but let’s be real, burritos are huge, how many could one possibly eat in a day?

Our pal Lindsey tells us all about it:

The reclining swing at Dolores Park is one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever been on. You strap yourself into it, then with even the slightest push find yourself nearly inverted, hoping centrifugal force overrides gravity for just another few seconds. [link]

But is it more terrifying than the Tulip, or more gravitationally weird than that weird slide?
