It was almost exactly a year ago that we asked “What the fuck is happening with Sunflower?” But now they’re back in action…

Here’s the Wild SF Walking Tours crew eating there RIGHT NOW:

Professional drone pilot Renee Lusano was chillin’ at a swimming hole when some wild shit happened:

See lots more footage on Renee’s blog here.

And for goodness sake be careful next time you’re at a swimming hole.

(Also, I was checking out the Columbia River Gorge last week and saw a whole chunk of forest go up in extremely violent flames in like 30 seconds, which was also gnarly. Be careful anytime you’re anywhere.)

Eater SF talked to general manager Peter Hood on Friday:

According to Hood, the reason for vacating Boogaloo’s primo location is indeed due to their newly raised, “whacked out Valencia Street rent,” which the business wasn’t willing to pay. And while Hood confirms that the search for a tenant is on starting in September, he says “We want to stay as long as we can for our employees. Our main concern is keeping our current staff employed and helping them find new jobs.” Since the restaurant is just now hitting the market (with its whacked out rent), that means it could be a while. Either way Boogaloo’s will have 30 days notice, which means there will be time to snag a last “Temple ‘O Spuds.” And, says Hood, he’s “open to relocating,” if a reasonable rent still exists in this town.

Read on for more info and downer details.

The lease on the St. Francis Fountain space was listed for sale on Craigslist for a while a couple months back, not sure what’s going on with that though. But I’d bet a property like Boogaloo’s, located at 22nd and Valencia, will be snapped up real quick.

Gone are the days when friends could argue St. Francis Fountain vs. Boogaloo’s year after year, never worrying that either one might ever disappear.

Here’s the skinny:

Saturday night edition you guys!

Come join us on Saturday August 29th over at The Knockout.

Drink specials, a photo booth and all your favorite emo tunes on vinyl brought you by DJ Goonie Walsh & guests.

Post your requests! #emonightsf

RSVP and invite your friends!

(And if you want a little taste of the history of the emo scene in the Mission, head for this years-old Mission Mission post “All about emo.”)

I haven’t actually seen this show yet, but I know Chris Libby personally and he always cracks me up. Plus it’s at StageWerx, a fun little theater on Valencia near 16th that you’ve probably never been to. Here’s the deal:

HUGE is Chris Libby and Anthony Veneziale – two improvisers, two guitars, infinite possibilities. Join us for our signautre long-form comedy improv show with music! The audience throws out suggestions and we turn those into songs, scenes and laughter. No two shows are ever the same.

Get tickets here.

I mean this is the problem with film photography right? You don’t get the stuff developed and it doesn’t end up on your Tumblr til like 2 months after the fact. Great shots though, by (sometimes) local photographer genkai_trip.
