Dolores Park is the bastion of freedom we all love and respect

They Hatin': Ganja Treats Man Bust Followup

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

A reader follows up with pictures of the bust + narc responsible for hating on fun:

I witnessed the take down of the Ganja Man.  It was, just like you say, extremely sad.

I also love the group of people sitting directly to the right of the arrest.  They are trying to act cool but are actually sweating it big time cause they presumably have just bought from him… ha ha.  The whole thing is disappointing on so many levels; mostly that don’t the cops have anything better to do?

I’m also digging on the cop that has to carry the skull staff back to the cruise.  Hey Johnny, can you put this into evidence?

Dolores Park Renovation Community Meeting TONIGHT

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Don’t forget that tonight is the meeting where the big bad government will tell you that they will “do their best not to close the park the entire time” but you know they’re lying because this city is run by a bunch of rejects.  So go to 455 Dolores St. at 6pm TONIGHT and yell at people / listen to people / sip 24s in the back while political-style people-watching and leave your trash behind for Gideon Kramer to pick up / vandalize the bathroom of the church.

Apparently Furries Get Married Too

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Considering that I spend most of my Valentine’s Days with a fifth of Jack and a hangover, I wouldn’t label myself as an authority on romance.  That said, there was a pair of furries getting hitched in Dolores Park yesterday and it was the most goddamn romantic thing I’ve ever seen while holding 24 ounces of Budweiser.  It went something like this: there was a bunch of people dressed as chickens, bunnies, a rabbi, a dude in a wedding dress, devils, and human beings standing around until a panda was led into the park while a dinosaur wielding a bullhorn followed.  Whatever, just another day in Dolores Park.  Next thing I know they are standing on the median on Dolores, the rabbi says some words, then the bride tackles the pandas and they start rolling around the grass kissing.  Traditional marriage.
