Amiable DJ Shutdown

We witnessed most of the most pleasant DJ-police interactions we’ve ever seen in Dolores Park over the weekend.  Look at those wide smiles on the faces of everyone involved!  The whole scene lasted less than a minute, with the officer walking up and having a word followed by the DJs immediately complying.

Everyone must have been pretty techno’d out because catcalls of “Fuck the Police” were muted and sparse.  Or maybe it was just because the sun was going down (albeit epically).

Bye Bye Bombay

Flickr user mexist managed to capture the last of Bombay Ice Creamery’s refrigerators being carted out onto the street:

Bombay Ice Creamery had to shut its doors due to a couple health violations, but I suspect there are other interests involved since they had such prime real estate. We’ll miss that delicious Kulfi.

So long, Bombay.

Global Warming is Real

Two conclusions from today’s 77-degree day:

  • Climate change is real
  • Most of you don’t care about football

Saturday Sunset Epic Once Again

I happen to walk by this spot a lot, and I’ve even made a post almost exactly like this one in past, but yesterday’s sunset was just too amazing to ignore.  Couple this with our amazing summertime weather while the rest of the country is freezing over, and San Francisco once again solidifies its claim as the most jealousy-inducing location in the United States.  Take that East coast!

Go watch your Superbowl, America.  We’re gonna be outside ALL DAY.

Vegan Lamb Soup Tonight

I’ve never had vegan lamb anything, but if there’s anything I love as much as being vegan, it’s eating lamb. And Vegansaurus thinks this is going to be pretty good:

Brand new soup stand, Relais, is premiering tonight (Sunday, February 6th) in the Mission on the corner of 20th and Valencia. They’re serving up vegan lamb soup and it promises to be fucking deeeeelicious because these people are talented chefs for real.

Read on. (Hopefully their narrow time window doesn’t conflict with Glee.)

Epic Spider

Daaang! Looks like he was fabricated at the Jim Henson Creature Shop!!!1!

3D Mission Street Sidewalks

They looked possibly damp, so I didn’t want to touch them, let alone put them on my face.

So what happens? Do the red squares leap up at you? Does bum vomit spring to life?

Late-Night Party on the Roof

It looks like that one dude is giving a recital of some kind. Three o’clock in the morning, time for a poetry reading?

Muni 1, BMW 0

Mission Mission operatives sent us this dramatically blurry photo last night. Let us tell you its tale.

BMW parks on 24th near Valencia. BMW driver opens door without looking.

Muni is passing by. Side mirror of bus catches door of BMW. BMW door loses.

I can only imagine if it had been a bicycle and not a bus.
