Pigeon play

Talent Is An Asset stumbled upon this little pigeon theater troupe gearing up for a performance in their little ramshackle playhouse.

Looks like it’s going better than that Spider-Man thing.

Sexual assault sells

The disco era sure was a different era.

Love and Kisses kind of sucked:

Cute little car safari

Beware out there!

Local graffiti writer finds possibly the best spot ever to slap a sticker

This wall can be found in the bathroom at Project One, site of last night’s epic Ocean Spray show.

Hey, you left your wine glass in the gutter

This is how they do it on Polk Street at 7:45pm on a Saturday night I guess.

It’s time to move on, but you’re not finished with your chardonnay, so you take it with you, out onto the corner, and try to finish it up while your boyfriend hails a cab. Cab comes, you discard your beverage — and it’s on to the next destination.

End AIDS, by partying all day!

The party starts in a couple hours, down at Mission Workshop:

The event will feature amazing food, cheap beer, a silent auction, a raffle you don’t want to miss! (bikes, gift cards, Beauty products, tickets to SF events, gift cards for some of our favorite salons, Mission workshop goods….just to name a few!!!)

There will be live art by Max Ehrman and a DJ too famous to even tell you their name!..as if the raffle wasn’t enough!

There will be a silent auction including: Leader frame and fork, Masi bicycle frame, bike tours by Stoked SF, $40 Falletti foods gift card, Chuey hats, Bumble & Bumble gift basket ($100 value), Mission Workshop messenger bag, Hambone bag, poster by Bikes and the City, coffee by Bicycle Coffee Co.

A DJ too famous to even tell us their name? I bet it’s DJ Jazzy Jeff!

I am so hungover

Hey, if you think you might need help getting pumped about the CRANBERRIES COVER BAND performing tonight, Honey In Yr Brain has just the thing. It’s a video, about being hungover.

Watch it here.

Sad dinner

I was gonna be like, “Whatever your troubles, whatever your crises, take heart because at least this wasn’t your dinner.” But then I turned up the brightness and saturation on the photo a lil bit and I was like, “Damn, wait, that looks good!”

Plus, I just ate half a bag of stale tortilla chips at 3 in the morning, so who am I to talk anyway?

Free Jazz Friday at the Explorist International, that newish record store on 24th Street you’ve passed a million times but haven’t been into yet

Yeah, you, commuter. You’ve been passing this Explorist International place twice a day since October, and you always say to yourself, “Hey, I should go in there one of these days,” but you’re always in too much of a hurry. Right?

Well, tonight’s the night. At 7 sharp there’s a free jazz party going on. The core duo are a drummer and a vibraphonist I think, which should be dope.

At the last event, some random kid rolled up on a skateboard, pulled out a pocket trumpet and jammed on the last couple numbers, and then skated off into the night without another word. Rad.

And follow their blog for updates about hot deals and future goings on.

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."
