Complying with San Francisco’s special laws

Same here. How bout you?

Technology, nightlife and dance music

If that poster doesn’t already have you frothing at the mouth for a Saturday night of classic electronic dance music, this month’s edition of the Haçeteria Podcast sounds like it might do the trick:

Haceteria DJs Tristes Tropiques and Nihar sat down with Marc Kate and talked to him about his project Never Knows, as well as meditations on technology, nightlife, and dance music. We cover everything from proto-techno to post-techno. Never Knows performs live at Haceteria on Saturday, October 6 at the Deco Lounge in San Francisco.

Here it is:

Alright? Now RSVP and invite you friends!

Where might one watch the presidential debates in the Mission?

We generally don’t delve into politics much (except for sometimes, and other times), but Rachel from 500 Club just got in touch:

The 500 Club will be showing all the debates again this year. We have better tv’s with better sound – three in the front of the bar and one rather large one in the back room. We also have delicious foods from Clare’s Deli next door..altho delivery might be a little tricky if we get a full house again.

We also talked to Paul at Shotwell’s and he mentioned they’ll be screening the events as well. Anywhere else?

It is 94 degrees in the Mission right now

I knew I felt like shit, but I thought it was just the hangover. Holy mackerel.

Win Treasure Island Music Festival tickets by playing bingo with Indie Mart’s Kelly Malone tonight

Free Treasure Island tickets are always a fun thing to win, but this whole event sounds pretty dope:

Every other tuesday, we all drink some beer, babes of both persuasions come out and we play with balls, bingo balls. I’m calling balls with some friends, put out some bingo snacks and yall win free drinks and rad prizes while we get a lil rowdy.

way some fun shit:
-camp prizes (slingshots, tube socks & more)
-Flava Flav clock and other prizes inspired by the bands
-as well as some tickets to Treasure Island

And yeah, our boy Luke (who some of you apparently want to finger) will be behind the bar. RSVP and invite your friends!

P.S. Check out the Treasure Island lineup here. And note that a series of related night shows at venues around town were recently announced, so even if you can’t make the festival, maybe you can still catch a band or two you like.

Partying in Dolores Park on the hottest night of ever

Local photographer and party animal Jason Yim captured a whole mess of fun on the playground, and shared it this morning in a series called #yoloindolo. These are just a couple of good ones; do click through and enjoy the rest.

Big Drag and Permanent Collection at Brick and Mortar tonight!

Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos: People Close to Me [NSFW]

Every week, photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us. He picks the best 13 photos and we post them here, and it’s called “Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos.” Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s installment:

When I walk around shooting street photos I’m usually looking for shadows & lines, hardly ever people. The shots I find people in are more intimate, people close to me, places with strong memories. Our show at Cafe Du Nord, Boo sitting on the bed watching me, Margot with candy lips at the diner. I recommend getting glossy prints too.

Thanks, Joshua! Ten more shots after the jump:
