Some shots from this Sunday. (As usual, click to zoom.)
Watching the World Cup final in the Valencia Street garage of the Mission tricycle stereo guy — thanks! (Sorry, Orange.)
The Ferocious Few on Valencia:
The lead singer telekinetically tuning his guitar:
Another rockin’ band on 24th…
…so rocking, in fact, that their house was doing that Flight of the Conchords wiggle:
Hey, look, another bike band Fossil Fool!
And my personal favorite: French Tacos! The Croque Monsieur (Croque Señor?) was particularly l’awesome.
All and all, a good day (but we really need it to go until at least 4 or 5 PM). We can do this once a month, no?
On the downside, there was a curious lack of food vendors. And while I’m sure it’s a permitting nightmare, I’d like to see the city help our favorite food carts get in on this.

that animated gif is *super*
The co-op daycare we belong to had a bake sale along 24th St. A lot of you were kind and contributed. However, we were surprised at the number of times freeloaders just stopped by the table, grabbed some goods and continued on. They weren’t drunk or high on something which would explain their behaviour. Just normal looking men with a sense of entitlement and lack of morals I guess.
maybe they thought you guys were among those handing out free stuff?
Its a possibility.
I would have gone with a simple “hey dude, that stuff is for sale…” and if that didn’t work a “hey, stop stealing our food!” It would probably work even better if a kid shouted it at the top of their lungs….
Thanks for the shout-out y’all! And yeah – that GIF is fabulous!
Also someParent – that sucks! Was it clear that things were for sale? I can only think that there tends to be a lot of free stuff at events like this & maybe they just presumed? Ugh….
‘deep
(.ps is this you N?)
It could be they thought the stuff was free, but I think it was obvious it wasn’t. No, this isn’t N posting, but we’re in the same group.
Hi Deep
Yes it was our stall! We were amazed that people would just wander up and take food, admittedly we didn’t have any prices marked up…

My favorite was the blues guitarist and art projected out from the second floor apartment. And the bicycle powered rapper….pics?
That’s them in the animated GIF (unless there was another bicycle rapper).
Oh yeah the rapper, although I was wondering about the guitarist out the window. I stopped said blogger about a photo. My brother who is musician would appreciate it.
woah, you actually showed up! here’s one that i got of the dennis richmond apartment band.
Sheesh……$6.00 for tacos?!?
Those better be some “hella good ass tacos”.
I don’t fuck around with tacos. The croque monsieur was pretty fucking epic.
6 bucks for tacos? Come on! Manhattan spots in the east village sell burritos for 18.00 insulting!
I’d say the tacos were actually worth $6, and I am quick to scorn overpriced tacos. Wish I saw Fossil Fool’s band {the bike rapper} those guys are fun. And Mandeep the Bicycle soundsystem dude rocked it 100% as usual. I would have cooked more food than just the Carolina boiled peanuts I had out in front of La Victoria, but I was over swamped with work that day. I sold Chilaquiles a few weeks ago for Sunday Streets in the Mission.
