I Miss 12 Galaxies

I was on that weird balcony at Hotel Utah looking down at this okay band Petracovitch the other night, and couldn’t help but fantasize I was on the awesome balcony at 12 Galaxies looking down at some amazing band.

Reread the tirade I wrote when I first learned 12 Galaxies was going under, if you want.

Shitty Kitty and the Phillie Phanatic

So, apparently Shitty Kitty is a self-hating, closeted fuzzy? Prone to violence and date rape? This is troubling.

And it is part of a new Shitty Kitty series called Vamos Gigantes!

"The Tenderloin is a Little Bit Bossy"

Check out I Know Alyssa Jones, a lot of really cool street level pictures of the city, each one telling a story.

Including some in Santa Cruz. (represent!)

I only wish I could click the pics to see the full sizes.

Guerilla Solar Panel Installation

This looks unsanctioned, right? But I bet they’re up to something fun.

Late-Night Romance Outside Taqueria Cancun

“Hey, sexy,” he says, “How ’bout me and you go to town on a WET BURRITO together?”

No, I made that up. I love Taqueria Cancun. Look here.

The Best-Dressed Band in the Mission Last Night

Was Dirty Cupcakes. Normally they dress more or less normal, but last night they opted for Sailor Moon chic. Here is frontwoman Lauren’s lower half (I think she said the boots were like $10 at the Halloween store, FYI.):

And here’s drummer Laura getting her collar popped by the band’s personal stylist, Colin:

Bass player Sola looked fab too, but we didn’t get any pictures :(

P.S. Give them a listen. I particularly like “Get Out.”

M.C. Hammer at the Giants Game

They showed him on the big screen and played “2 Legit.” Maybe that’s what demoralized our boys.

We Be Chicken Noodle!

Looks like We Be Sushi (on Valencia between 21st and 22nd) is busily expanding their menu to get in on the noodle madness that has recently gripped our City.  If the fancy to sample their new “We Be Chicken” or “We Be Noodle” happens to strike you, might I recommend that you also be sure to check out their extraordinarily curious bathroom art.  Maybe you can figure out what the hell is going on in there.

'70s-Themed Voter Guide

This week on Necessary Conversation, Beth and Melissa present a handy and humorous voting guide, so you don’t have to think to hard for yourself about how to vote.

They also explain why they don’t ride Muni (smells like jizz, etc.) and crack up a lot:

And there’s this:

Watch it now.

Hitting People, Without Getting In Trouble

Mission Loc@l posted profiles of the Mission High Football team members sharing their favorite things about playing the game. Shocker: a bunch of them like hitting folks without getting in trouble. Crazy world! That’s almost as wild as bicyclists who use their bikes for transportation.
