Mission Mission

That’s right! On July 2, you can go to a special event in the bowels of the Armory and watch performers put stuff in each others bowels! And there’s art involved. AND it’s for charity!

All you have to do is become a member of some organization, quick. Full press release after the jump.

(Thanks, Corvax!)

Reader Andy B. sends word of the Mission’s presence in a new comic strip:

The first print edition of the SF Public Press just came out this week and it includes an awesome full page comic strip from bad-ass underground comic strip artist Andrew Goldfarb and independent journalist Shawn Gaynor.

It’s about the sit/lie ordinance and told from the perspective of a day laborer from the Mission named Alberto whom Gaynor interviewed for the story.

More info, more frames, and a PDF download of the whole comic at http://www.standagainstsitlie.org/

Thanks, Andy!

Fingers and fluids and sphincters and girl parts! A lab experiment gone horribly awry! By d-know!

The official press release explains:

The Billboard Liberation Front (BLF) is honored to announce a new marketing partnership with Philip Morris (PM) that finally brings together the rugged sense of American independence with your most important choice as a consumer: your death. The message of “My Life. My Death. My Choice.” informs and empowers the consumer to choose, as their god given right, how they want to die. Philip Morris brings this message to the consumer to remind them that some rights are inalienable in life as they are in death.

Read on.

Almost as good as the AT&T one.

(Thanks, Rick!)

This is not the first time, certainly, but what a shot. Look at the doom in their eyes.

End times are near, people.

No matter where you live, work, walk, or ride throughout the City, you must have noticed the recent installations of  many more bicycle parking racks on sidewalks everywhere.  The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition has made significant progress working with the SFMTA to make it much easier to request bike racks for specific sidewalk locations that you may particularly notice need more bike parking. 

While it’s FANTASTIC to see such progressive municipal cooperation in the name of expanding bicycle safety and ridership, am I the only one who’s getting tired of the utilitarian standard grey bike rack design?  Don’t get me wrong; they are clearly sleek, strong, and functional but I feel that a jazzier design would not only help further excite the population about cycling, but would also look way cooler! 

A recent trip up North to visit our Canadian neighbors in Vancouver presented a colorful and stylish alternative.  I walked up and down city streets for two days and could not even find two bicycle racks that looked alike!  Perhaps some criticism can be leveled at the apparent flimsiness of those triangles, but no doubt San Francisco’s intelligent creative artistic community can come up with some aesthetically pleasing marriage of form and function.

Also, to the business-minded folks out there:  countless potential branding opportunities!

Looks like a lil’ ol’ 3.5.

Found here.

Somebody totally bussed a pigeon along with their unfinished tortilla chips, and then the pigeon’s mate came over and was like, “What are you doing in there? Let’s get out of here.” The other one shrugged and was all, “I been bussed.”

And then that dude at the table goes, “Look at that cool guy taking pictures of pigeons.”
