Do you love bacon in stuff? Of course you do! Well hey, guess what? Baconcamp is in the Mission this year!

Next Saturday afternoon, May 8th at Chez Poulet, you will be able to crowd around a small table with other wild-eyed baconnoisseurs and unapologetically shove folks out of the way to get at the salty goods prepared by local bacon experts. Or if you’re smart you can wait by the kitchen and snatch things off the trays as they are making their way across the room. Ah, this all brings me back to dinner at Cloyne Court Co-Op in Berkeley.

If you’re thinking about entering a bacon creation this year, be advised that bacon and eggs smiley face is old news and review the following categories:

• Best Overall – This is the audience choice award.  All attendees will have a chance to vote.
• Top Savory
• Top Sweet – a dessert or candy
• Top Condiment or Drink – sauces, infusions, seasonings
• Inspired – best presentation inspired by bacon.  This category is for art, sculptures, photographs, demonstrations, poems, stories, music, etc.
• Inventive – most creative use of bacon.  it’s unexpected and tasty
• Photogenic – when you see a picture of it, you want to lick your screen

So GTFOutside today if you have a chance!  Hopefully we won’t have any of that schizophrenic Wednesday weather that featured tropical rain showers while the SUN WAS STILL SHINING.  WTF was up with that?

Happy Friday, folks! Adopt away!

Don’t let the serious expression fool you! Skipper is a gentle and loving little dog, with extra love to spare. He will thrive in a quiet, low traffic home with plenty of warm laps to snuggle in. You and Skipster can have a blast taking long walks, meeting new friends, and enjoying each other’s company.

Blue Steel + Le Tigre — adult Siamese

Come to The Secret Alley at 7pm to catch authors Eli Horowitz and Mac Barnett present the book and the accompanying nation-wide treasure hunt. Exclusive clues to the whereabouts of the 12 emeralds will probably slip out.

All this for the price of nothing! Free as the beautiful air around you!

KayVee.INC caught a snap of some random, senseless vandalism carved into the very sidewalks of our city.

UPDATE: Ben found a second bit of street art on this slab, this one uses words, and so is easier to understand: What Kimmy said.

Grynch rules!
