SOMA

Cycling Machine

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)

Freedom From Porn: Protesting Steve Jobs' Stance on Pornography on the iPad

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:

Escape From New York Pizza, The Club

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…)

SF Neighborhoods in T-Shirt Form

I'm pretty sure these shirts are a meme from yesteryear and I always hate being late to the lolparty, however these things date wayyy back to 2008, a year before anyone read San Francisco blogs.  Anywho, the only thing I don't like about these shirts are that there are only four of them.  Make more, design nerds!  LIke a shirt of the Richmond featuring a fog monster eating a frat boy, or a shirt of the Mission featuring a fog monster eating a frat boy in a hoodie.

Anyway, these pieces of fashionable hyper-local cotton were created at the sexy people at Ape Do Good Printing.  Unfortunately, I cannot find a link to buy these shirts, which is such an epic first world problem it makes me want cry.

For those of you who want to actually buy a neighborhood shirt, Headline Shirts has an alternate.

Fourth Banksy Found at 9th and Howard

Okay, I’m getting too sucked into this game.  Sorry.  I just like his shit.
