“[These] are Jen’s love bombs; she left them wherever people needed them.” Thanks, Virginia. Thanks, Jen. More here.

“Mr. Seahorse knows that no one is illegal,” reads this sidewalk stencil found by Mission Mission reader JimBeam.

Flickr user H 3D snapped this shot (and this shot, and this shot) down in San Jose. Bon voyage, Ribity!

Melissa from Valleywag found this keeper. Over at 40 Going on 28, TK has this to say, in the event’s defense:

But you know what? Once you get past the inherent goofiness and just resign yourself to it, it’s not bad at all. There’s some cool art to see, and people from all over the place, and everyone’s into just hanging out, and there are none of the Mission vs. Marina social barriers we have to deal with back here because everyone’s pretty much dressed the same, which is in neon fake fur and goggles, and it’s not immediately apparent whether the person you’re talking to would be someone you’d talk to back in the real world or not.

Link. So how ’bout it? Annoyed by your burner buddies, or are you happy to have them back? And, burners, annoyed by social barriers, or are you happy to have them back?

This week saw a couple of new Bodé pieces along Valencia, but this one’s particularly good. Alarming, right?

Anybody have a copy? How is it? Art by ORFN.

Dear The Mission,

Take a cue from Tim and Anna and — please — put a little love in your heart.

Sincerely, Mission Mission

Infospigot spotted this bit of stencil art outside the Burger King at 16th and Mission. Link.

Thanks to reader mcas for sending this in. mcas says: “Could be more concise, but I guess it gets the message across…”
