What went down today in Dolores Park sounds like a fantastically gross amalgamation of that awful afternoon I had in the Upper Haight last summer (which, if you haven't read yet, I plead you to, as it's a vital cautionary tale about the horrors that live at the top of hills), which can only mean the drum circles will be stepping up their game this spring.  Coupled with the fact those park renovations are supposed to start sometime this year, 2012 is looking pretty grim for Dolores Park.

(Also: just the other day I was rolling along Mission when I came across two dusty downers with dusty white skin and pee-soaked dreadlocks sitting at the corner of 19th (they had dusty dogs too).  As they drawled on about “spare change” and “having cigarettes” and addressing me as “Yo,” I couldn't help but notice one of them was wearing Adidas track pants.)
