Honey In Yr Brain doesn’t understand why all we ever do on nice days is go to Dolores:
There are other big, huge lots of grass in SF with much better views and not as many piss-poor onesies than Dolores Park..SOME WITH PLENTY OF TREES TOO. There are beaches, hills, pools, docks, parks, reservoirs, lakes, rivers…ALL OF WHICH I HAVE FAILED TO SEE BECAUSE I don’t know ANYONE who actually goes to bed at a reasonable hour to wake the fuck up in time to make it to one of these BETTER options.
I love you Dolores Park, but the amount of tall cans I can drink in you hung over “JUSS’ CUZ IT’S NICE OUT” is running dry.
Blam! Real talk? Or what?
She then goes on to ask for volunteers to join her on her mission to try something new. Read on.

P.S. Whoa, this is the second time I gave a post this exact title. I’d totally forgotten. Here is the first.
Plz stay exactly where you are; I don’t need you to be stinking-up my space in the entire rest of this huge, excessively mapped-and-cataloged city.
The hipster apocalypse has always been introverted and and often heroin-based. If you’re bored, try doing more drugs!
Or try and start a small business… Even more trippy!
I think it’s funny how she blames her friends for the fact that she’s failed to see all these other lovely spots in the city. Maybe go by yourself? Take a date to one of these spots? And why do people have to wake up early to see these spots?
If you’re mad at your friends, don’t take it out on DP.
Well mr sir let me tell you..it’s because I have actually done several of these things alone and honestly, doing things alone gets boring. And trust me..I have bugged my boyfriend to take me to somewhere else that isn’t Dolores on a nice day and he has just called me cranky. Face it…twenty-something year olds are lazy.
Also, you do need to leave quite early in the day (and when I say early I mean before 3pm ok…you don’t understand the fact that my friends fail at not going out past 3am which resorts into sleeping-forever-sundays).
I mean yeah sometimes it works out and we do go somewhere else but I hate it when like 95.5% of the time it’s all talk and then people just settle with going to DP when nice days are sort of rare here.
If I can sum up your argument succinctly:
GET OFF MY LAWN!
first world problems. don’t be afraid to enjoy this city without a crew in tow.
So what is a “piss-poor onesie”?
Onesies are those hideous things that the girls who wear them refer to as “rompers.” Most are piss-poor as on 99% of wearers they are highly FUPA-inducing. Oddly enough they are popular in Dolores Park. Anyways, here is a particularly piss-poor one…

Oh god. It’s the return of the PantSuit! This is not something that I ever expected to see happen.
i had fun 2 years ago when it was more about eating sandwiches, reading books, and watching dogs. now it’s like revolution cafe moved to dolores park. i’m overwhelmed with it’s djs, drum circles, and blonde dreds. burnores park? it’s also a very privileged situation, and not very diverse. if it was all mexicans, or black folks drinking and “chillen” at the park, i’m sure it would be different story. i like the park, but can only take it in doses.
Thanks for explaining that “diverse” means brown.
the truth is uncomfortable. diveristy does include a mixed income situation. but who has the luxury of having the weekends off to just lay in the grass for 4 hours drinking booze, and dressing up as chinese recycle ladies during Halloween?
diverse should include “brown” and all types of socio-economic backgrounds.
there’s a lot of diversity in the park, people from all kinds of ethnic and economic backgrounds as well as different sexual orientations and lifestyles. if it were all Mexicans or all black folks are all of any other single minority, it would NOT be diverse. that’s, by definition, the opposite.
ciao. clearly you don’t understand what i’m saying. it was two separate thoughts, but thanks for providing me a definition of diversity.
i’ll just quote what i was responding to and you can let me know the intended interpretation:
“it’s also a very privileged situation, and not very diverse. if it was all mexicans, or black folks drinking and “chillen” at the park, i’m sure it would be different story.”
okay, skip diverse. privileged. still right.
i love when troll conversations turn into debates on definitions of words. it’s just like high school english class.
+1. Pedro always brings the real talk.
Jefferson Square is this really obscure park in Western Addition that you’ve probably never heard of.
Had this problem yesterday. Tried to rally folks to play croquet in Golden Gate (where large expanses of flat green are available) and had an almost unanimous retort of “Why can’t we just go to Dolores?”
Oh god, hipster-life crisis. You’re growing up, quick, move to NOPA.
I’m going to have to go with d) all of the above. You all called it. However, Jake speaks the truth!
I went to DP for the first time yesterday and I know this may not be saying much but I’m a SF native, and although I did enjoy myself it did seem a bit ridiculous. I’ve spent a week day afternoon there by myself just reading a book but I’ve never been there on a warm weekend day. It’s out of hand. I saw a brawl, drum circles, millions of fixies and enough smug expressions that it was all so bad, it was hilarious. Don’t get me started on the bathroom line.
I like the fact that all the filth gathers in one spot. Makes it easy to avoid them.
You sound like Rorschach from Watchmen!
Rorschach would have said, “Easier to interrogate. Hrmm.”
There’s a bathroom at DP? I just piss on whoever’s closest.
Pedro = WINNING!!
I challenge someone to take a poll of the socio-economic backgrounds and education levels at brolores park on any given day…..serious…Burning Man has one…it’s heelarious
