Burrito rules

Set off by this photo of an Englishman eating a burrito with a knife and fork, Burrito Justice got to work on a formal system of “Burrito Law.” Here’s are the first two statutes:

  1. if you pull off all the foil, it is no longer a burrito
  2. if you touch it with a knife and fork, it is no longer a burrito

Read on for the full story and the rest of the statutes.

In defense of Burning Man, sort of

Last week we had occasion to revisit the age-old question of whether or not Burning Man is stupid. It seems most of us still agree that indeed it is.

But then yesterday our pal Dirty Diana posted this photo of a fortune cookie fortune she received once upon a time on the playa, and I think it’s pretty cool:

If these people can go to all the trouble of looking like this, surely you can do better than that grey hoodie

Tomorrow is Bike to Work Day, don’t forget!

It’s fun — lots more bikes on the road, “energizer stations” all over town giving you bananas and tote bags — and it’s important politically. Get your tires pumped up, dust off your helmet and hit the road!

Here’s a partial map of where to find the bananas:

The SF Bike Coalition‘s special Bike to Work Day page has the full map and lots more info and stuff.

(The photo above is of local artist Jono Brandel explaining to a bunch of commuters on the Oakland-Alameda Ferry last week why riding a fixed-gear bicycle is much harder than riding a regular bicycle.)

The narrow alleyways of Noe Valley

It’s like a different world, man. Every damn time we leave the Mission, it’s like some different world.

(We gotta start leaving the Mission more often, all of us, am I right?)

That good ol’ Scrolls Creek sound

Local nostalgic ephemera (and ephemeral nostalgia) archivist David Enos dug up a gem this week:

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
