Mission Mission

I saw this splotch on the ground somewhere near the Ramp the other day, I took a pic, and I sent it to the man, Ariel Dovas:

Within 20 minutes, he wrote back:

I asked what it’s called; he said inflatable slide “Homo-Globulous” and sent another:

“Positively ghastly,” I said. Thanks, Ariel!

This lil list will hardly do the place justice, but we’ve had some good times over the years. My favorite one is still the Lou Reed one, but they’re all (mostly) good:

• The time the Thrift Town building went up for sale for $15 million, 2009
• Thrift Town, the gym, 2010
• Australians in Thrift Town, 2010
• The OC (RIP) at Thrift Town (RIP), 2010
• Lou Reed (RIP) at Thrift Town (RIP), 2011
• Robin Williams (RIP) at Thrift Town (RIP), 2011
• Kreayshawn at Thrift Town, 2011
• A nice photo by Ariel Dovas (RIP), 2012
• The time when we thought Thrift Town was in danger, 2013
• The time a month later when the new property owner said Thrift Town was probably not in danger, 2013
• “Nasty fun” (huh?) at Thrift Town, 2013
• A moving poem about contemporary life in SF, 2015

RIP, ol pal(s).
