Yesterday these robot butler boxes showed up all over town. And I guess they turned out to be an elaborate marketing scheme (wherein a marketing company leaves trash on a sidewalk).

Last night, somebody went pyro on them:

Sounds weird I know, but it ruled.

The Tradesman, if you don’t know, is a new spot on Alabama Street just off the 20th Street Corridor. They’re open for lunch and dinner and have sidewalk seating and beer and wine and a BURGER WITH PEANUT BUTTER AND CHEESE ON IT THAT RULES.

Here’s a pretty cool photo of the burger beef aging:

It’s gonna be like a late-night talk show from TV, except more San Francisco-oriented, and you get to be right there in the room with all the action. And the first musical guest is Boots Riley!

Here’s that info once again:

Looks kinda the same, except the street itself definitely needs some resurfacing. (When did that finally happen, 2009?)

Time sure flies.

UPDATE: They resurfaced that shit in 2010. Thanks, Andrew!

See for yourself:

Like Dia de los Muertos, this hole is an awesome thing. And it was temporarily out of order.

Maybe it’s a public service: someone can live in it.

Here’s what it’ll be like:

The show is at Hemlock around 9ish. RSVP and invite your friends!

And perhaps play around with this online mosh pit simulator to get in the mood.

Spot on!
