Making friends the modern way

Sexpigeon this morning published this screenshot and shared a story:

This person was in a bar I checked into last night. Saw we have three friends in common so I scoured the room for her, high and low. I introduced myself and then explained the circumstances by which I came into cognizance of her. Delighted, we chatted. I demanded to see the dress from the photo.

That part sounds possibly creepy, sure, but there’s a happy ending and a big conclusion to be drawn about modern technology and stuff. Read on.

Ewok smuggling

MM reader Jesse P. caught this cyclist at 16th and Valencia the other day, and wants to know a few things:

Is this dog taking a nap? Is Noe Valley in-fluxing the Mission?

Either way, I’m kind of jealous.  Of the dog.

Too bad you didn’t try this Ti Couz Bloody Mary before Ti Couz gave up its liquor license

Ti Couz bids adieu to the Mission, existence

Ti Couz is about to close its bright blue doors forever, meaning that if you want a crepe, like, right now, go grab one while you still can. Inside Scoop reports:

Apparently, it’s a certainty that the popular creperie will be calling it quits, but there’s no farewell date just yet. The party line is only that it will be soon, though it’s undetermined, but could be “any day now” (but “probably not tomorrow”).

So what’s next for this prime spot of real estate? A new brunch spot perhaps? Read on.

Au revoir Ti Couz, and to your delightful wares, we salute you.

Saturday night fights: Punks vs. hipsters

Normally we wouldn’t give a second thought to a single thing in Oakland, but this appears to be a night of boxing sponsored by the East Bay Rats Motorcycle Club in which each fight pits a punk against a hipster. This seems notable. Pencil it in, perhaps.

Here’s a reason to maybe actually buy an expensive vintage typewriter from one of those expensive vintage places on Valencia Street

Reee-diculous!

But the iPad bit is funny. Learn more.

(Thanks, Jono!)

Fishing for hipsters

Reader David K. spotted this west-coast-style hipster trap on 24th Street this morning. Laaaid back.

What do you call a surfer who’s obsessed with himself?

A gnarcissist!

If this guy is one, you can’t really blame him:

Gnar!

Whimsical elfin door installation immediately obscured by whimsical rad dog graffiti

I went looking for those mini doors we’ve been hearing about by Jeff Waldman, and despite getting the location details from Mission Local, I could not find anything — only the above really rad Poochie effigy, which is truly a gem.

As you can see, I’m completely blind, and the door was right under my nose the whole time.  I only realized this when I got home to check the internet for any real photos of the doors; it probably would have been in my best interest to do that before exploring sketchy alleys and dodging cars for 60 minutes, but live and learn and maybe get my eyes checked out.

Here is the initial door installation on 14th and Valencia. And the one on 17th and Valencia? Not even there anymore.
