Power outage fun

But did y’all keep Smithsfits going with a little a cappella? “I ain’t no god damn son of a bi-i-i-itch!!” sang the entire bar, in unison.

If you’re gonna try for savesies, at least use a healthy cone

Iconic 17 Reasons sign rises above the Mission once again, kinda

Okay, so not really. But it’s good to see some of our neighbors at least trying to keep its memory alive. Nevertheless, I think I like the previous crew’s message a little better.

Cranky Old Mission Guy took the photo and would like some clarification on the scribbles in the lower right.

Pee-wee cake

Wow! Looks almost as yummy as the real thing. And even yummier than that dumb reunion.

UPDATE: Our buddy Raun was on the scene:

KKKatie hits the White House

Dolores Park Bike Swap tomorrow

Macaframa is hosting tomorrow’s annual bike swap, so if you’re looking to buy/sell bike parts on the cheap, head over to the bell-cement area in the center of Dolores Park to set up your wares and find some treasures.

So does anyone have a cheap crankset they want to sell, and subsequently put on my bike for me?

The Smiths and the Misfits, together at last

The official description says everything you need to know:

Josh Yule and Jay Howell spin all Smiths, Misfits related tunes.

It’s this Saturday at the Knockout. RSVP and invite your friends here. And do dress the part if you’re feeling so inclined:

Is the 16th St BART Station the newest pop-up music venue?

So this happened around 12am this morning outside the BART station. Just like a scene from Dolores Park, people showed up en masse to Royal Gate for some Jimi Hendrix covers while brown-bagging it. Who knew?

Update: Apparently a lot of people knew this, just not me. Commenter Plumpy sent us the info on this weekly outdoor open mic night hosted by 16th & Mission.
