Uptown Almanac

The group is Grand Invincible, consists of Luke Sick and DJ Eons One. It's some 89 QB timbs, camo, and piano stabs type shit so don't expect some bullshit rave raps with trance synths blasting through the beat. They drive around the mission, hangout on ocean beach, kick it at Gestalt and stand in the hallway of the Bernal Heights Shamiq from 212. The video is missing a camera man beatdown with hella boots and goretex coats. Also where the fuck is the standard roof top shot?  Anyways check it out and maybe if they get enough views then Youtube will buy that Volvo a new headliner.

Everyone's favorite person named Marin uploaded this to flickr with absolutely no explanation. Shit, we cannot be expected to figure out where it came from, but we certainly cannot be expected to ignore it either.

Following up on our hard-hitting journalism from Friday, Nicolas King, an aide to Supervisor Dufty, has confirmed that Dolores Park will be "entirely closed during its renovation."  While he was unable to provide a specific date for its closure, the most recent project report indicates construction could begin as soon as August 18th, 2011 or as late as December 18th, 2011 and would be completed in 17 months.  Regardless, plan on kicking it elsewhere for 2012.

Kinda feel bad for Bi-Rite Creamery, since they are expanding the size of their shop and most of their customer base will be off smoking DMT and watching bros skateboard.  At least we'll get to have a kick-ass Irish funeral for the park on August 17th?

Calls to the Recreation and Parks Department were unreturned.
