It's in the blood homes

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.

Previously on Uptown Almanac: 

You can take the man out of the Mission but you can't take the Mission out of the man. It's in the blood, Homes.

I thought people already knew about the film La Mission, but based on the sheer amount of “tips” we’ve received about it, I guess I was wrong.

From the mailbox: “saw a blurb about this a while ago. shite that just b/c it’s an SF movie, there has to be some gay subplot. and funny that it’s always sunny in SF in movies.”
