SOMA
Here's a bonus wheatpaste to get your weekend started off right:
Support brutal dictatorships in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia? Create homelessness at the astonishing levels we see today? Triple the deficit? Ignore the AIDS epidemic?
Spotted somewhere around 3rd and Brannan.
I know this postage stamp is hard to make out, but RumNose just stitched together this epic panorama of Heron Alley. You won't regret the 9mb pageload for the full version.

New mural going up at 8th and Bryant, SF. looks amazing! Hope they update the Fanny's logo too.I didn't see who the artist is painting the mural, but it does seem like the art is from Dean Fraser - Springfield Punx. http://springfieldpunx.blogspot.com/
Previously on Uptown Almanac
Lots of good art around the city this week bros.
Photo was taken by Ramona Wheelright. I wish I knew who drew it because it's fucking rad.
You can go grab this piece (and others like it) at Fabric 8 on 22nd and Valencia. The perfect gift for the cracked out dog lover in your life! (photo)
Lastly, this was found outside the 111 Minna. It's likely cooler than anything you'll find in the gallery. (photo by Beej Weir)
I've been seeing these murals going up slowly over the past few months but it looks like it is finally done. KILLER.
San Franciscans will protest anything: a reader cued us in on the latest protest going on around Apple's WWDC today. That's right, Freedom From Porn is went around SOMA this morning tagging Apple ads. So now instead of seeing someone Facebook creeping some girl named Jessica, you now know Steve Jobs likes to share vids of gang bangs. From their website:
Dear Steve,
You don't want people looking at vaginas on the tablet you named after a feminine hygiene product? Something smells fishy.
Sincerely,
Dudes who like porn
P.S. If you agree that porn is great, you should send your favorite vids to sjobs@apple.com
Dunno about this. I know it's kind of lame he doesn't allow porn in the app store because Daddy Knows Best, but considering many companies are embracing HTML5, isn't this sort of moot? Can't we access Adult Friend Finder already? Wait, does anyone reading this blog know what HTML5 is? FUCK.
Anyways, here's a safe-for-work video of the protestors in action:
Freedom From Porn from Freedom From Porn on Vimeo.
After the security guards graciously informed me that "Sir, you're standing in the middle of the street," they went on to tell me that this was in fact an open and operating Escape From New York Pizza during the day.
Seriously? Just how fucking big is it in there?? As crackin as the scene may have been, I didn't pay the cover to find out.
And so I invite you, dear readers, to caption this photo. Here are a few to start you off.
a.) Two topping minimum.b.) Cover costs more than a slice.
c.) Greasiest stripper poles on the West Coast.
d.) (...fill in the blank with your comment...)
