Local ‘grammer @mdwidget fills us in:

According to my Geology of the San Francisco Bay Region handbook, this is Lower Tertiary sedimentary rocks, including sandstone and shale, which started out horizontally as sand and mud on the ocean floor, now tilted and folded as to be nearly vertical.

Trippppy man.

Now let’s listen to a great Bob Dylan song:

There was a ‘hipsters graduating into yuppies sale’ over the weekend

Just saw this on Instagram. A comment on it says:

sweet protest move, dude! now the driver who has been up since 4am gets to work OT filling out an incident report and making sure his/her bus hasn’t been damaged! the driver also gets the added benefit of being screamed at by more people who are being held up in traffic, coupled with a panic attack from thinking that the loud noise they heard was from hitting a person, until they realize it was a pylon thrown out of some fucked up misplaced anger by somebody who thinks violence solves problems 👍

Mission-based Self Edge just opened a store in Mexico!

They’re taking over the world! Here’s the announcement:

We’re proud to announce the opening of Self Edge Mexico, our first location outside of the USA.  Opening in beautiful San Jose del Cabo we’ve tweaked our usual offerings to better fit the year round summer heat and the vibe of the region we’re in.  Beaches, sandy dunes, palm trees, amazing fishing and surfing, and more mezcal and tequila than we know what to do with.

 With our new location we’ll be carrying a large assortment of warm weather wear, shorts, eyewear, jewelry, sandals, and even adding a couple of Mexican lines to the mix.  With the exception of our two new lines the rest of the products will still be made by the Japanese (and some American) brands which we’ve been stocking for years.  We can’t leave out the jeans though, two or three models of jeans from every brand we stock will also be available at SEMX.

Here’s a short video about the new store:

And lastly, opening weekend party info (!):

We’re having a large opening party weekend complete with a party at the store, pre-parties, post-parties, a comedy night in San Jose del Cabo with Dean Delray and Nick Youssef, and more. We have quite a few confirmed attendees coming from the states, from brand owners to clients to friends. We’re excited to share an area we love very much with our favorite people. If you plan on making it and need help with travel arrangements please email us at denim@selfedge.com and we can help you sort out your flights and hotel.

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."

— My pal Valerie, writing about life in the Mission
