Dear Mission Mission, please stop giving kkkatie face time on your blog. Nobody really cares about her that much, if at all. I’m sure she gets a big kick when she comes on here and finds articles about herself. If I see another kkkatie article I will have to cancel my subscription.
You’re probably right, I may be living in the wrong neighborhood, but, graffiti art and murals making the Mission “great” is more opinion than fact. I don’t really “hate” murals, I just find them chaotic. My opinion.
Fair enough. But, “great” or not, they are definitely a fairly defining feature of the neighborhood. It’s kinda like living in Venice but being bummed out about all the canals.
Y’think? Is meth a defining characteristic of Tulsa? I haven’t been there in a few years, but last time I was there I certainly didn’t notice any more tweakers-per-capita than any other medium-sized city.
@Herr Doktor: I’m guessing that means you never have eaten Chik-Fil-A. I’m totally against gay-bashing and not-being-open on Sundays and chains in general.
But man, it’s the best fast food, short of In ‘n Out.
I have nothing against grafitti or murals. I just think his / her name sucks. I agree with those above who don’t want to see anything more about her on this blog.
I kissed Katie once at Delirium sometime in 2008, she and I met at my work where I made coffee and stuff, she asked me if I’d like to go get coffee sometime. She comes from a heavily christian family and has about as much personality as sink drain. I don’t like taggers, most of the taggers I have met are quite boring copies of each other, with self absorbed out-looks on life.
Yeah, I don’t get why this blog gives taggers so much air time. And they always post the weakest shit. If you’re going to post this crap, at least *try* and develop an eye for it. Honestly, most of the stuff you see in the Mission these days is stupid suburban art school kids who have no clue/skills. The late 80s-early 90s era is long gone.
Yes the Phunk is gone found now only on the DREAM wall and in photos of Pyscho City and the old Duboce Tunnels (other places too but those are the few off the top of my head i can think of). Progression is key and bombing is harder than ever so of course style is going to adapt and evolve.
and since when does being from the suburbs have to do with being able to do graffiti? The best freight painters are from the sticks
Well, I guess my point is that there’s a difference between a real writer vs. some new jack hipster from upper class Orange County who goes to art school in SF and tags for “cred”. I mean, are there even any real writers left in SF? It’s not like you see anything even approaching the worst MSK writer from LA circa ’91 here. Not these days. Even Chaka has a leg up on these fools.
lets be real, do you see any crews approaching what MSK AWR has done in the past or present as writers and artists? No.
And yes there are real writers left, you obviously just dont know them.
And once again, being from a well-off family whether Orange County, LA, or the East Bay, has nothing to do with your skill as a writer.
Keep on dreaming, alla you guys, that any of the Mission people who have been here for a generation or more give a fuck what you write, or how you write it, or where you write it. We don’t. It’s all instantly forgettable, and instantly erasable. We note it long enough to delete it from our walls. And our memories, too. We don’t care about its history, and couldn’t reference it if you asked us to. To us, it is the shit we have to deal with because we live in a city filled with the under-observed, over-grown, latch-key children of newly-urban hillbillies.

please no more shitty graffiti!!!! move to ohio or somewhere else please.
All graffiti is shitty if it is done on private or public property without permission.
if it is done on private or public property with permission, it’s not graffiti, dumbass.
There is lot’s of graffiti art that has been done with permission DUMBASS, some people just call them murals.
@SCUM: You see what you did there? You called it ‘graffiti art’ to differentiate the legal stuff from non-legal stuff… Oops. You lose.
I have been publicly owned, I will be in the corner weeping into my PBR.
Well, Taggers ARE Shitty scumbags. Real graffiti artists are A-OK.
Really, people, we’ve sorted this all out months ago. Get with the program.
Always listen to your Doktor.
Just to be clear — I hate about 98% of the tags I see, too. I’m not defending those turds.
I’m just saying categorical hate for illegal graffiti is dumb. Categorical hate for shitty graffiti? A-OK in my book.
Yeah, that’s more or less my opinion, too. Whether it is illegal or not has 0 relevance towards its quality for me.
I shall find her and give her a lobotomy, Frances Farmer-style.
Brocko, I suggest you self-loboto; best for all concerned.

p.s. I hate graffiti and murals.
You’re probably living in the wrong neighborhood, then, since the graffiti art and murals are one of the things that make the Mission so great.

It’s like living in Tulsa and being bummed about all the meth.
some people’s glasses are always half empty.
Y’think? Is meth a defining characteristic of Tulsa? I haven’t been there in a few years, but last time I was there I certainly didn’t notice any more tweakers-per-capita than any other medium-sized city.
Okay, it’s like living in southeastern Michigan and being bummed about all the Coney Islands.
What is that in this context? I only know the Coney Island in Brooklyn.

Oh wow, that sound AWESOME!
It’s like living in Afghanistan and being bummed about the endless war waged upon you for generations by imperialist invaders.
Like living in Boston and being bummed out about all the Dunkin’ Donuts.
(I LIKE THIS GAME)
It’s like living in Atlanta and being bummed about all the Chik-Fil-A’s .
…oh wait! http://sfist.com/2011/02/22/chick-fil-a_opening_in_san_francisc.php
FUCK YEAH!
Fuck Chick-Fil-A in their hatefilled bigot-y buttholes.
What we need is a White Castle.
@Herr Doktor: I’m guessing that means you never have eaten Chik-Fil-A. I’m totally against gay-bashing and not-being-open on Sundays and chains in general.
But man, it’s the best fast food, short of In ‘n Out.
Naw, I’ve had it before, my opposition to them is based solely on their philosophy and actions, not the quality of their food.
I thought it was like living on the moon and being bummed out about all the footprints.
That only works if you’re camped out under the lander.
Like living as a bum and being bummed out by all the other bums.

I like how the Uptown had freshly painted bathroom walls for 1 day before the assholes scribbled their “cool” tags.
I’m starting to think we’re cut from the same cloth SCUM.
