Shades are back

Style maven David Enos says, “Now is the time to wear shades.”

I wasn’t aware that it previously was not the time to wear shades (so apologies to all those who I’ve beshaded in recent months), but I’ll bite. I’m definitely gonna wear some shades this season.

SFPD ‘Citizen Satisfaction Survey’

It goes on from there. And it begins:

It would be very helpful and informative if you would take the time to complete the Citizens Satisfaction Surveybelow. Your opinion and comments on the service you received will help identify areas of performance whichneed improvement and those that are satisfactory or superior. Please return your completed survey at yourearliest convenience by mailing to or dropping off at Mission Police Station, 630 Valencia Street, San Francisco,CA 94110. It is our goal to continuously provide the highest level of service possible and to utilize all of theresources at our disposal to prevent crimes and arrest those responsible for committing them.

“All of the resources at our disposal.” I guess that includes brave and capable volunteers.

I’ll paste the full text after the jump, or you can view it as a Google Doc here.

Mission High School back in the day

Handsome! What’d kids do after school in those days anway? No skateboards, no whippits, no high-fructose corn syrup. What’d you do?

Sail bikes

It’s supposed to be pretty windy today. Perhaps it’d be a good day to dig your sail bike out of the basement and sail to work! (Look at that guy’s fucking rifle!)

Of course, you have to decide on which model you prefer:

Or maybe it’s a prone bike day. I mean, any day is a good day for prone bike! Be sure to appreciate this dude’s graceful moves, and the rockin’ soundtrack:

(Thanks, Jess!)

Guardian Angels increasing presence in the Mission

Better watch your ass, Mission District! According to CBS San Francisco, the Guardian Angels are coming out in force to help put an end to gang violence once and for all:

In an official statement, the Angels have said they’re working with police and are prepared to make citizen’s arrests when they see someone breaking the law.

Read on.

Hey, remember when they called Vic a pussy in a comment thread? I wonder if they were “working with police” on that effort too. And when they poured out some perfectly good beers? That was cool. Better not let ‘em see you jaywalk.

Acid is back

Janebook all but confirms it:

Jane: What are you doing tonight, want to go to that warehouse show?
Joe: Probably just going to Homestead. Gotta stay in the Mission, big day tomorrow.
Jane: Ooooh, what’s happening tomorrow?
Joe: Me and that guy Dan got some acid.

Huzzah! Let’s get fucked up!

Fuckin’ Oakland

The Tens ventured across the bay over the weekend:

Me: What the hell is going on in here?
[Sees women crocheting in front of a stage where a band is setup.]
Me: Fuckin’ Oakland.

Note that this conversation happened out loud.

The Paramount theater sure is out of control though:

Right?

Well done, Tens!

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."
