Needed: witnesses to a gay bashing outside of Taqueria Cancun (mission district)
Date: 2011-10-20, 10:39AM PDT

Did you witness a gay bashing outside of Taqueria Cancun (the one at 19th and Mission) Friday night? Eight men jumped out of a truck and attacked four, severely wounding one (continuing to stomp on his head as he was unconscious). This is a felony hate crime, and we need your support in prosecuting the perpetrators. Please step forward and contact me, because adding witnesses who are not victims help the case, and I’m sure if this happened to you, you would hope people would help, rather than just stand by, watch, and be glad it’s not them getting the beating. Thank you, and please contact anyone you think might have been in the area at that time and ask them. Much appreciated!

Looks like 14th st. is in for some more major changes. First there was yesterday’s groundbreaking for a new 202-unit “ugly as shit” residential complex. Now there’s another proposed condo building in the planning stages, right next to the Armory.

Kink.com, the building’s current occupants, are obviously not to pleased with a new building blocking off the killer view of the Armory’s glorious profile. On top of that, they cite the need for historical preservation of the building, which is totally what Kink is all about. As you may know, throughout the 20s-40s, the Armory was used as a sporting arena (the “Madison Square Garden of the West”) and to this day Kink hosts such high-profile sporting events as nude wrestling, whip skill competitions, and simultaneous-intercourse world record attempts.

The article at Curbed indicates Kink is interested in eventually restoring the main space for events, which does sound amazing. Can’t wait to check out a concert there, though I’ll be sure to wipe down my seat first. Head over to Curbed SF for the details.

Hmmm, maybe that’s more of an eliptical machine than a cycling contraption, but in any case, someone is very concerned with their fitness.

Of all the rad t-shirts I own, the one that gets by far the most compliments is my Benny Gold shirt:

So, here’s hoping the new season is just as dope.

(Thanks for the tips, Jason and Steven!)

[A cafe in the Mission district. Someone steals an iPad out of a fellow cafe-goer's messenger bag and runs.]

• Mark: Wow. What just happened?
• me: Oh my God… I should have stopped him.

(hugging our laptops closer. a gray-haired grandpa walks past us. we eye him suspiciously)

• me: (glancing back) I’m so paranoid now.
• Mark: Maybe we should switch cafes….

See the little punchline here. And for goodness’ sake keep an eye on your gear.

Why not knock off early and kick back and relax?

(But seriously, they’re doing important work down there. You can almost taste the improved drainage already.)
