Shut Your Fucking Mouth Bitch Or I'll Knock You Off Your Bike

Adrienne the other day had a troubling encounter with an SFPD officer behind the wheel of an unmarked police sedan, allegedly. According to Adrienne, he cut her off, she expressed her frustration, and then he said, “Shut your fucking mouth bitch or I’ll knock your off your bike,” and proceeded to drive alongside her in a threatening and erratic manner down a section of Valencia Street.

That Wall Got Annihilated

As you can see, that mural we looked at yesterday got a little out of control.

(P.S. You guys, I’m pumped. I just spelled annihilated right on the first try for the first time in my life. This is even better than aficionado!)

American Apparel Rummage Sale Riot

Maybe if the UK wasn’t banning American Apparel’s fun all the time, its tights-loving citizenry wouldn’t lose their minds so bad.

Good thing we don’t have to worry about anything like this happening in the Mission.

Also, what’s with those sissy bobbies? SFPD would have fucked that guy up!

(Thanks, Al!)

Strawberry Socks

Cute, right? (And we’ve been meaning to do more fashion posts.) But, like every strawberry-related thing we see these days, they just make us think of this. This too, kind of.

Free Mission Mission for Life!

Tag Savage of Sleepover SF produced this epic new logo for us. You might’ve seen it on our Facebook page, and you’ll be seeing it right here on our site some time soon when we unveil an equally epic redesign.

So, how about this: You get a tattoo of this beaut’, we’ll give you free Mission Mission for life.

[This is not entirely a joke. What with all this paywall talk, not to mention the reinvigorated world of print, we may soon be charging everyone $19.99 a month to read this thing. But not you, you with your fresh ink, not you.]

Bone Jammin'

This is the video for the hit song “Bone Jam” by Jeff the Brotherhood. Don’t know much about them, but they ruled in Austin last week, this song rules, the video rules, and they are playing at the Eagle TONIGHT. Lucky you!

Oh and some dude named Ty Seagall is headlining.

And don’t forget to see Surfer Blood for free at Amoeba.

(Thanks, SFist’s Bay Area Concerts!)

Writing on the Wall

This looks like a fun party. And surely the owner of that wall will appreciate this nice drawing more than the owner of that last wall appreciated that ugly tag. And look at all that plaid!

Pot-Bellied Jock Wearing Plaid Shorts and a Backpack

OMG the Mish the other night spotted this doozy of a don’t at La Corneta. “This bro,” they seem sad to say, “was too busy on his phone to tip.”

They saw some other stuff there too. Read 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."
