This shirtless wonder can sing and dance, talk to dogs at length and whistle hella loud. Carlos Reyes has pictures and a full report.

All the clues you need to solve this mystery are in this picture. Can you figure out what happened before Bugs Meany gets away?

Our boy Carlos Reyes had been kind of absent from the internet for a while, but he’s back in full force, with pictures like this and poetry like that and philosophizing like BLAM. Do check in.

I wasn’t going to take a picture, but a hundred other people were doing it, and I knew you wouldn’t believe the part about the Jenny Lewis hoodie if I didn’t, so I did.

Later I lamented that I’d missed my chance to jump on Bill Murray and kiss him.

(Apparently he also did some bar tending while in Austin.)

I take color for granted. I walk around looking at the great architecture of the neighborhood and sometimes the color just seems like part of it all. Like that’s what color it was built to be.

Bob Buckter, Dr. Color, probably resents that idea. This Mission resident consults property owners on building on the beauty of the design by properly coloring the exterior. (he does interiors too, but I don’t get to see those) And judging by the examples on his website, he gets the job done.

Here is the doctor’s handy guide to stenciling:

How to stencil:
(1) Look for a similar building of the same period which has more architectural enhancements.
(2) Take a photograph of the enhancement.
(3) Enlarge the print to scale.
(4) Trace the print on Mylar or acetate.
(5) Cut your stencil.
(6) Wearing the right colored shirt helps you to “tie-in”!

I fully thought Hipster Wife Hunting was a gag, until this girl I know showed up as one of their pinups. It’s Jenn! She invented the Nike Beer Cozy and discovered Please Quiet Ourselves! Somebody marry her quick! Link.

Local artist Mike Giant has a solo show opening in Milan next week. This diagram just might be part of the fun. (Click to enlarge.)

Accurate? How many of you girls wear panties? Fuck on a first date? Hate television? (Even Glee?)

Usually I read Herb Caen quotes and I’m like, “Whatever, old dude!!” And don’t get me wrong, I totally still had that reaction when I read the following, but it did give me pause:

Some people become San Franciscans almost immediately, feeling the poetry, sensing the specialness, seeing what makes the city great, boning up on the history and walking the streets with glamorous ghosts at their elbows. Others can live here all their lives and never get the message.

It’s cute I guess. But is it this black and white, or are there lots of in-betweens? What of the people that feel the poetry only after years and years? What of the people that think they get the message but really don’t? And those that see what makes the city great but are still compelled to leave? (Like our buddy Katherine who posted this quote earlier.)

And which are you?

Hot on the killer heels of her last epic retail discovery, San Francisco’s own Penelope Popsicle has struck gold again, thrice!

Do click through and blow up her photo of this Dolly doll to its full resolution. It’s an exquisite shot of an exquisite product. Then there’s this novelty key chain of some kind of serpent-man fucking a human female midget doggystyle on the barrel of some kind of blunderbuss. What now? Also, a bucket of deer heads is always good.
