Mission Mission

Whoa, sorry we missed this back in campaign season! Apparently our boy Benny Gold was a big supporter of our boy our boy Supervisor Scott Weiner. At least I hope that’s what this means.

In any case, this remnant of some kind of fun remains in the bathroom at Poppp’s.

But why is this trap just sitting unattended on a section of 24th Street in the middle of the night? Somebody plug this piece into an Ecto-Containment Unit where it belongs!

Dude, wait! It was supposed to say “DARK ART$”!

I know, dude. This totally happened to me before! Back in Bristol I used to write “£IBERAL ARTS” and people kept fucking with it! I was appalled! That’s when I switched to “AI₦’T MISBEHAVI₦’.”

Looks like he could tip at any moment. BUT, he’s probably tearing ass down the mountain to perform surgery on an injured endangered silverback gigantopithecus, down in the valley. Right?

Ambulance was there. Cycle was on the ground. Bro cyclist was rushing through traffic to get to the scene and photograph it.

I’d've stuck around but I was trying to catch the sunset from atop Bernal Hill.

True story – Benny and his designer duds are saying goodbye to his eponymous retail store on 21st and Capp in mid-April in favor of a bigger, swankier spot somewhere on 16th.  Straight from his website:

As much as we love our current store we have outgrown it in a short amount of time. I can’t wait to show you the new space! The store buildout is coming along nicely and we are set to move next month… it is going to be great! Thank you for all the support that has made this possible and we hope to see you at our grand opening party!

Two things: 1.) Pumped that he’s crushing it and that business is booming; great to see an SF local do big things, and 2.) Would it be appropriate if I wear my gold leggings to the opening? I’m thinking yes.

It’s gonna go right here in front of Freewheel. Can’t wait!

SF Great Streets is pumped too, but thinks we should all learn some rules:

A new parklet is being built on Valencia and 20th in front of Freewheel Bike Shop in the Mission. And many more will be coming to neighborhoods throughout the city this Spring, Summer and Fall. The demand for parklets is huge.

With all of these new parklets coming to the city, you might be wondering what the rules are. Who can use them? What can’t they do? How do I get one for my neighborhood? How do I report misuse? Get the facts here, at the helpful FAQ we’ve put together.

Dang, we can’t drink on parklets. BUT, all the other rules and junk sound pretty good.

Can’t wait!

Uh, I would like to wear this while listening to the new Breezy Nix mix. Nasty!
