Tonight’s edition of indie pop dance party Shine On at Public Works includes screening of ‘Doom Generation’

There won’t be any sound though, so let’s all take the opportunity right now to listen to Rose McGowan’s most memorable line. (Embedding was disabled, sorrry!)

All your favorite Shine On DJs will be there, along with special guest Chas Gaudi of Shellac Shack!

RSVP and invite your friends!

Dumbass awning at 21st and Folsom gets fixed kind of

At least “tres” is “tres” now instead of “trees” like it was originally, but I can’t believe they didn’t address the “Um” part  !  !

And whatever happened to that Juntos Club thing we thought might be going in instead? Anyway, this place with the dumbass awning is finally open I guess.

Where was your bike stolen?

MM reader Phil created this handy infographic to demonstrate the number of reported bike thefts during a four-month period in neighborhoods in the Bay Area, a much to our shock and surprise (j/k), the Mission ranked in at number one!  At least now you know exactly where you shouldn’t leave your bicycle.  Honorable mention for Emeryville.

CONTEST: Win tickets to a weirdo screening of a weirdo movie

Seriously, Mindglow looks gnar:

Ping pong! And here’s the deal with the screening:

Mindglow the movie is World Premiering at the Roxie [on] Wednesday, with live performances by local freakers Bronze and Limosine, followed by a dance party (yes, in the theater. I know, what?) There will be beer.
