Being Cool

I was going to make a post making fun of people flocking to photograph the new Banksy piece but, ummm, yeah

Don’t get me wrong, I got a chubby over this too, but do we really need a news van? They took 4 takes of some not-fashionable (in Mission terms) walking out of the Curiosity Shoppe. It was wicked intense.

Also, two hipsta chicas rolled up in a 90’s SUV (earth day DANG) and started taking pictures with no less than 5 different cameras. One of them even looked like it used manual film. I feel like if you are going to photograph Banksy, you shouldn’t be doing it with technology (excluding Hipstamatic and Razrs, of course), since that is ‘contrary to his ideals’ and ‘fucking lame.’

Anyways, go over and check it out. It’s fantastic.

- Parliaments? Check.

- Ironic mustache? Check.

- Keg cup that doubles as a cell phone? Most definitely.

Hero Brings Patriotism to the Masses

This was one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed. Dude above was screaming about how much he loves America in the middle of the intersection at Grove and Van Ness. The Range Rover creeped into the intersection expecting crazy guy to get out of the way, but nope. Instead, he climbs onto the Range Rover’s hood and continues screaming about how much he loves America. A deputy sheriff shows up and asks the man to get off the hood. The man decides, no, I am going to climb onto the motherfucking roof and tell the world how much I love America. High-five, sir! Also, big props on the Giants jacket.

I didn’t get to see what the exciting conclusion was, because I was in a rush, but as I was leaving about fifteen cop cars showed up. Sorry for the crappy photos, but I spilled water on my good camera, which is currently sitting in a box of rice in hopes it revives like the jesus.

SOM.: Medjool For Cool Kids

I set foot in SOM. for the first time last night. I composed about four Shakespearean reviews of this place but never quite nailed it, so I went with the old trusty video route. Hope you enjoy.

See that thumb? Total bro.

Needed: More Burrito Eating Contests

I was reading the archives of a blog about college life on a campus that I’ve never been to when I came across this. Gold! Makes me wish I went to a white bread college in Santa Barbara. But really, why doesn’t this happen, say, every weekend in Dolores Park? We have the burritos, the requisite unemployment and appetite for logs of calories to make this happen. While I personally could not win the trophy, I would happily forge one to put next my Noble prize and college diploma.

Damn. What a great pic. I wish I looked this rad, it would be so much easier to get laid. Did I just say that? WHAT?

No, that is not Wall-E. That is motherfucking Johnny Five with some kind of tongue sex-toy, chainsaw arm in Kink Dot Com’s world headquarters in the Armory at Mission and Fourteenth. I got to go on a tour there yesterday with my bosses and a bunch of my coworkers. It was even cooler than I thought it would be. From the creek running beneath it, to the friendly employees, awesome and much-better-looking-than-Gene-Wilder tour guide, crazy homemade sets, and the god damn giant open space where they are going to be hosting public events, I wasn’t really ready to leave. Also, there were some naked chicks and whatnot. Did you know dude that owns Kink.com lives on the top floor?
