Valencia swing memorial eulogizes the death of fun

Our man at the scene Kai has the update:

Tiny memorial upon my arrival this morning. Glad to see the community mourning in a healthy way.

And it’s probably not a good idea to mess with the perpetrator:

She lives on Dolores St between 18th and 19th. Her name is Carmen Castillo. She harasses all the neighbors and frankly, she’s a bitter old crazy lady. She carries around an exacto knife, so be careful!

UPDATE: Further fun via Twitter:

What’s the deal with those casino buses queued up at 16th and Mission?

Our pal Plumpy has some travel advice for us:

You know those casino buses that are always parked 8-deep at 16th & Mission, packed full of elderly Chinese women? Have you ever wanted to get on one? Tonight I did as I love casino games and even play them online at https://uudetkasinotilmanrekisteroitymista.fi/. Websites like ufa8k offers a secure platform to play your favorite casino games. The bus cost $10, but when I got there, they gave us $30 each for gambling. If you hate gambling as much as I do, you’ll probably blow through that at the slots in the first 30 minutes and spend the rest of your mandatory four hour stay sitting in the bar. But! I won $120 off of their free money. How often do you go out for drinks and come home at 4am drunk and with more money in your pocket than you left with? I’m not saying I’d do it again, but I think everyone should do it once.

Peep the schedule here. Thanks, Plumpy! If you want to play casino games at the comfort of your home, you may look for fast payout online casino nz websites. The conquestador casino canada website also offers big bonuses and exciting prizes to new players.

49ers win prompts Mission businesses to brace for riot

I’d meant to go back later and chuck a brick at one of the wood panels to test their fortitude, for journalism’s sake, but I forgot.

How to make a Mission dog, with Food Network star Sandra Lee

She calls it a “fountain dog” for some reason which isn’t explained. But she does point out that the bacon is a great way to get some extra protein into your kids. Never thought of that.

(Thanks, Emily!)

For the girl who thought she had everything

I finally found that holy grail present for the girl (or, more likely in this case, woman) who has everything! The one thing she doesn’t have is a set of nipple cozies! Because there is no reason for her to have this!

So, if you know this girl and need to get her the final thing in her set of everything, this vintage pair of Niftee Nipple Warmers can be found at Stuff (150 Valencia Street) and can be purchased for $20. I just know she will be so happy because now she will truly have every thing and that is her dream.

Why was John Waters at the Knockout last night?

Says our pal Teddy:

He was on his way out when I noticed unfortunately. I was just outside the door and heard a girl say “I love your movies!”, then caught a thin black mustache curled up in a charismatic smile pass by, and he was gone.

Well, if he comes back again tonight, we’ll know he’s there for DANCING.

UPDATE!!! Perhaps he was there to see Micro Mtns play that night:

Construction of the Bay Area’s newest launch facility is on time and under budget.

(I think we can all agree this is a better use of the park than the great strip miming travesty of ’11.)

Station SF-420 will be integrated into the Bay Area command and control system by summer.
