Manuel just left a comment on our post about the shooting at 29th and Tiffany the other day:

It was me that was shot. Im jus more worried bout the well being of MY daughter. She did not in any way have to witness her father being robbed at gun point, the shot at! I hope that man goes away long enough to think about his actions! I worked hard to save money to supply myself with things I want and for one idiot to attempt to take it away jus cause HE HAD A GUN! NOT going to happend that easy!

New-on-the-scene Guerrero Gallery will be hosting their second Group Opening this Saturday, which should make for a great place to check out a bunch of local artists (around 20 or so in fact).  Group openings are neat because they feature a ton of variety and you usually get a bunch of artistically-minded people all in the same place.  Throw in the fact that there will be free beer and a taco truck outside, and there’s a good chance that you’ll see me there zoning out in front of this piece by James Marshall waiting for the Magic-Eye sailboat to pop out.

The fun starts at around 7pm this Saturday at 2700 BRYANT Street.  Not on Guerrero!  That’s just the dude’s name!  Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Hey ladies, Fudgekat has some advice for you regarding your calves and leggings and tights and how to bag a man. Solid advice.

In case you haven’t seen it already, in honor of the Giants’ home opener later this afternoon, the best cartoon I’ve ever seen about baseball or LSD. (And it’s about both!)

As we found out earlier this week, the free friday tours of the Kink.com Armory are booked up until the fall so it’s going to be a while until we’ll get see all the glorious historical significance inside. Luckily for you, tonight our favorite DSLR-slinger from the Tens somehow got some kind of private tour with his “company”, which I can only assume is a custom power-tool supplier.

Anyway, he snapped this gem and a handful of pictures of good clean adult fun. Check out the full set on the Tens:

Jealous? I am. When I tried to flex my dubious, “Uhh, is there a press guest list? I kinda sorta write for a local blog” card, it fell on deaf ears at the Armory. But who could blame them? They don’t really need the press and we are but a humble blog that has recently been rewarded for pictures of public shitting. On the other hand, a significant portion of our traffic comes from dudes googling Sasha Grey, so maybe it would be good for business?

Well, if you change your mind, Kink.com, you know where to find us.

Update: Brizz posted more pics, including Johnny Five with some, umm, upgrades, on Uptown Almanac.

He must be mad about the impending BART service cuts.  Someone forgot to tell him about the extra $26 million of restored public transit funding for which the Governator (just keeping in theme) recently signed legislation.  That means no fare increases or service cuts . . . for now.

Anyone down to turn this into an arcade game?

UPDATE!!!  Or maybe he’s just pissed that Tony Pirrone is still walking free despite his alleged role in the Oscar Grant murder, and he’s going to shut down the Embarcadero BART station with a protest during rush hour today to demand justice.

Reader snoopz got a hot tip that whoever owns Delirium may have purchased the International Club out at 29th and Tiffany in La Lengua. In which case, the scene at south Tiff’ might change quite a bit.

Neighbor Katie, in response to snoopz’s comment, hopes otherwise: “I would rather have the IC’s midnight accordions than what i walk through on 16th street.”

Could this be the same mystery golf cart that was spotted last month while the mysterious driver was epicly failing a DUI test?  While the speakers did not seem sufficient to blast Public Enemy for all to hear, at least this one comes with a Vespa sidecar.

Could Cushmans become the hipster version of Smart Cars?  They are super easy to park but can’t even go on a highway, just like enjoying the streamlined design of no brake or gear cables while being unable to effectively bomb Potrero Hill (minus the fish-tailing, of course).

Could a future question on the analogy section of the hipster GRE possibly be:

ROAD BIKE : FIXIE

• smart car : cushman

Ha, Hipster GRE!

Apparently they must have had a problem with people not believing the “Wet Paint” signs.  White pants kept turning up at Community Thrift with blue bottoms.
