Did you know you can get both Farolito and Mission's Kitchen delivered right to your bar stool for free? Well you can, and once you do, you'll come to the same conclusion as Stu:
So the moral of the story is: I’m never waiting in line at either of those places again.

If you can get past this crappy photo, you can see there was a lot of action going on at the Sailor Jerry-sponsored Black Lips and Thee Oh Sees show on Saturday. Now, I hadn't been to a good punk show in quite some time, but this one was exactly how I remembered it: about 150 empty cans around the block from the venue. A crappy stage only a foot and a half off the ground. No security barrier and only a few security guards, whose heads towered over the band, to keep moshing fans from crashing into the band. Fans charging the stage as security was distracted by pulling fans off the rafters. A girl crying in the bathroom with two wasted friends trying to comfort her. A fist fight that had to be broken up by a five-foot tall skinny girl from Michigan. And, of course, no night would be complete without two stumbling girls covered in tattoos and tattered clothing debating whether or not they were too drunk to ride their bikes home.
Public Works, you may serve shitty, watered-down drinks at club prices, but you know how to throw a goddamn party.

I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea, but someone hung up a flashing neon swing that is easily mistaken for a penis from one of the tree branches on the Banksy mural (below).
If all the sidebusting didn't already ruin Banksy's perfectly good street art, then this did.

Pop's, the romantic little bar tucked away on 24th and York, has a fresh new logo that they're going to printing on shirts real soon. Lookin' good!

Bender's is once again giving away free Christmas cards to patrons so we can all buy beer instead of blowing forty bucks at Hallmark. The selection is a little thinner than last year's, but I'm sure your grandparents will love these cards all the same.
Want to grab some? Just look for this sign:

Growing up, I had these damn cats that would bat any ornaments they could reach to the ground and swat them around until they smashed into pieces. Then the cats would sleep on the arm of the couch while I had to sweep up the debris. Well, if you also have owned or current own cats on a war path, perhaps Photojojo's DIY photo ornament party is for you.

The folks behind Tate & Modern, who have been bombing the city in various ways this fall, recently went on a stickering spree along Valencia and 24th streets. Like most of their past work, they are again poking fun at both the very medium that they are utilizing and the plight of building owners. But wait, a challenge has been made! The owner of this particular building on 24th at SVN has offered up their building for a mural. This is fantastic offer because it not only would allow Tate & Modern to start parodying the homogeneity of Mission murals, but the building owner is also implying REAL artists paint. Zing!

While on the subject of people in costume, be sure to check out Daniel Jarvis's slightly untimely video about this year's Halloween in SF. It's packed full of fun stuff like a human jellyfish (above), a lightsaber duel on Divis, zombies making out, a Teletubby that wants to poison you, and a shark that looks like she's sexually attracted to a parking meter. Check it:

This certainly sounds like fun:
Unlike Kevin MacAllister's mom, we didn't forget anything for this holiday party at the Roxie. Presents? Snacks? Treats? Holiday cartoons? What about Santa Claus? Is Santa Claus going to be here? The answers are: check, check, check, check and YES!!! In addition to alternately heart-warming and brain-melting holiday videos, we're very excited to facilitate a rare 35mm big-screen presentation of the Macaulay Culkin revenge fantasia HOME ALONE. Get in for just FIVE DOLLARS if you bring a wrapped present for Santa. Co-presented by our favorite ice cream team Humphry Slocombe and those tender hearted gangsters over at Prohibition Brewery.
I probably won't be going to this showing because, as anyone named Kevin who was born between the years of 1980-1985 can tell you, this movie brings back terrible memories of kids is grade school repeatedly yelling, “Kevin, you are such a disease!” I still can barely sleep at night. Anyways, if your name isn't Kevin and Santacon wasn't enough for you, The Roxie has all the deets.
