‘Skate Witches’ in the Midwest, 1986

The Mission may have Teen Witch, and she’s pretty great, but I don’t know that she’s ever uttered a phrase quite as killer as, “I don’t have no money to waste on a skateboard, so I take one from whoever I want, whenever I want.” (Correct me if I’m wrong.)

In any case, prepare to be dazzled by Skate Witches, filmed in Ann Arbor about 25 years ago:

Real horrorshow!

The most obvious front in the Mission?

I say it’s a tossup.

Texting is king

Texting is the bomb, right? We all know it, but some haters still wanna hate. Bailey tells us what’s up:

It bothers me when I hear someone telling a story and at the end some appalled lady from across the table slams down her donut, and spits crumbs out of her mouth shouting, “and this was all over text message?”

Yeah, lady, it was.

Why is that a bad thing? Why does the text message have no value? Better question, how do phone calls have more value? I use my phone to call the doctor, schedule a Comcast appointment, or find a cab at 2 am. Real sentimental conversations. I hate phone calls.

I know it’s hot, but that doesn’t mean you can push your loved one out a second-story window

I love a good lovers’ quarrel as much as the next guy, but in light of all this heat, we’d better all be extra careful not to lose control. SF Appeal tells us about one couple (not pictured) that just couldn’t hack it:

A man was hospitalized after a woman allegedly pushed him out of a second-story apartment window during an argument in San Francisco’s Mission District early this morning, police said.

The guy’s probably gonna be okay, but seriously, people, keep it together. Read on.

Sexy summer fun permeates new Dirty Cupcakes music video

Some of you were underwhelmed by the clumsily shot concert footage we posted a couple weeks back. Lucky for you, Dirty Cupcakes just released a gorgeous new music video with special guest stars and good photography and a storyline and everything. And it’s sexy, and reeks of summer fun. Watch if you dare:

(Oh, and the song is, I guess, forever dedicated to me.)

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."
