It’s a good place to just play some ping pong with your friends. Also, El Rio’s 35th Birthday Party is coming up later this month btw. Can’t get enough El Rio!

Banksy is spending this month in New York, doing something new every day. This video is the best so far I think.

Mission Local reports:

Watch out for cameras in Dolores Park over the next couple of days. The new HBO series, “Looking” will be shooting a birthday scene in the park Thursday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you happen to mosey on by during those times, you just may catch a glimpse of yourself when the show airs.

What a gorgeous shot by the great Corntard! Click here to see it all big and bright.

And then when she grows up she can hang out with Ivanka Trump and Jennifer Lopez at a real punk party…

The real shame of it all is that this is the former location (Valencia by 20th) of X-21, that rad antique shop that had all sorts of old Hollywood movie set lights and other eclectic mid-century curiosities.  It was forced to close when the owner became sick, thus enabling this type of place to move in.  By far the coolest feature of that shop was the basement, packed to the gills with all the other stuff that couldn’t fit on the ground floor.  If you walked all the way towards the street, you’d find yourself just underneath the sidewalk, with tiny shafts of obfuscated light streaming through those mini glass “skylights” embedded in the sidewalk that you probably never notice as you tread over them (just in case you’ve ever wondered what those were).

Anyway, to see what the current place has in store for your little “Punk Princess,” proceed…
