Mission Mission

I know it’s raining, but hear me out…..

1.) Back in 2009 we wrote about Forlorn Candy Corn on an almost daily basis. Some of you may recall. Today, the artist behind the phenomenon, Briar Bonifacio, debuts a show at Adobe Books. It’s called “Mostly True” and features a couple other artists as well. Know this: Forlorn Candy Corn makes multiple appearances! 6-9pm. RSVP and invite your friends!

2.) SFist is having a big happy hour party at Virgil’s Sea Room. Hang out with the best bloggers in town, score a tote bag, cash in on drink specials, and eat a Wes Burger for dinner! 5:30-7:30pm. RSVP and invite your friends!

3.) Finally, since you’re down in that part of the ‘hood anyway, Ping Pong Nite at El Rio (just like every Thursday)! 9-midnight.

I saw this guy’s shirt and ran up to him, screaming, “I LOVE FORLORN CANDY CORN!”

I explained that I was a fan of the wheatpastes and whatnot we see around SF (and elsewhere) from time to time, and he explained that they’re all done by a dude from Austin (which we already knew I guess), and that a local Austin company called Industry decided to throw it on a t-shirt. Bomb.

What a cute couple though, right? I think we’d just watched Ted Leo and were getting ready to head up the hill for !!!.

OMFGNYC saw this and said: ”Don’t cry for me California.”

I see it and say, “Possibly a relative of Forlorn Candy Corn?”

This photo courtesy of My Lucky Number’s One is ruining my life. I might never enjoy candy corn or Beanie Babies the same way ever again.

Don’t ask me, I just work here snapped this sad scene over the weekend.

This just in: The makers of Forlorn Candy Corn have a blog! It’s called Circus Gold and contains a lot of good stuff like this.

Somebody really cleaned his clock.

My sister Elisa came across this Forlorn Candy Corn down at Runyon Canyon Park in Hollywood this week, and she slapped a KDVS sticker at his feet to cheer him up.

Thanks, Elisa!
