S.S. Lucia Shipwrecks into Ritual Coffee

This afternoon Ritual Coffee hosted a grand opening party to debut their new parklet, the S.S. Lucia, run aground by Captain Concordia pictured below.

The parklet includes a custom bike rack designed by Boor Bridges (same guys that designed the Four Barrel bike rack) with collaborative input from Ted Gon at Muddy Orange Fabrication.

The rack comfortably accommodates 6 bikes in a space only 4 feet wide.

 

Spend Valentine’s Day with DJ Primo the artist and DJ Primo the DJ

I’ve got a Primo original hanging in my room and I couldn’t be happier about it. Get one for yourself this Saturday:

In case you’re around and want to see some paintings or a few of these weird tshirts I made, this is going on this Saturday night at 1114 Folsom, later that night we’ll be moving to Amnesia for our 2 MEN WILL MOVE YOU party

The shirts are pretty righteous too:

Sneaking peeks into The Shop Barbershop from inside Dirty Pigeon Clothing, at the corner of Potrero and 24th. They have been around since 2013, but I finally made my way in to see their well-designed hoodies, shirts, starter jackets and hats with cool pigeons on them.  Mission Local did a brief interview with shop owner Ron Perez, which you can check out here for more info on/photos of the shop. Or just go and visit the shop for yourself.
