The text reads "A GIANT VAGINA"
This charming piece can be yours if you swing by Florida and 19th in the next half hour!

May 1, 2011Is that Latin poetry?
April 23, 2011If you make it to Dolores park today, try heading down under the bridge. There is a performance art exhibition going on all weekend. The theme: angry Latin poetry. This guy’s an artist. Look for him under the fart graffiti.
Watch out for the Muni!
Indoor Block Party Indoor Dance Party [video]
August 16, 2010We went to a super fun indoor block party in a garage space this weekend, it was a to the awesome. Check out the vid of the revelry!
Hope everyone else at the party had as good a time as these folks!
Valencia in a nutshell
August 11, 2010While visiting the South End Grill ‘n’ Bar for some P&T the other day, we found ourselves under a really sweet photorealistic painting of Valencia street.
The only thing they left out was the smell.
Highlights include:
- Aggressive guitar strummer on steps of Social Security building insulting passers-by
- Prius vs. Muscle Car
- Gasoline for $2.99
- Shady-ass guy in cowboy hat loitering in front of Glooncey’s
- Truck parked bravely in the middle of the street
We love this painting. But, while mowing down on our happy hour half-priced macaroni (WIN), Alice and I began a list of things they forgot:
- Line of hungry plaid-shirted boys smoking P-Funks outside Boogaloos
- Creepy cult-faced coffee pushers outside of Teen Challenge
- Police Station of Doom and Public Toilets
- Man with cart asking for very specific amounts of change. ($0.37?)
- Bikes chained in awkward/startling places
- That blonde guy who’s always “covertly” snapping iPhone pics
Nice work, South End. Nice work.
Awesome Rave on Capp Street
July 13, 2010Walking around the Mish at nighttime can lead to some pretty fun adventures. I found this crazy warehouse party with STROBES!
Also on this street: The handprint of Jesus. (He visited in 2009 and nobody noticed.)
The "Hunky Jesus" contest in the DP was won by the actual Jesus in 2009.
Parking Like A Pro [Part 2]

I’m going to stop worrying about where I park my cruiser.
Carnaval in the Mish! What? What!
June 7, 2010Last weekend, Alice and I were unexpectedly bombarded with cultures up the whoa. It was crazy rad. Here’s a little photolog of some of the events and scenery we peeped on Sunday morn/afternoon.
Delivery Truck Float - Comes with attached femalez.
There was a parade busting through the Mish. I’m not sure when it started, but it lasted forever. There were hella floats and mad peeps in colorful feathers shaking their booties in various rhythms.
And who knew there were so many dance-fighting troupes in San Francisco? Props to the elderly dancers and dance-fighters keeping it real.
This mullet is completely unironic.
The crowd was pretty eclectic. See haircut above. Legit.
Some pirates looking for booty. They should have hooked up with the Delivery Truck Float.
On Harrison Street, there was a potentially related street fair featuring meat, meat and meat galore. And just when Alice and I thought everyone in the Mish was totes over the whole carnivore thing! Way to keep us guessing, ‘hood!
I made sure to buy myself a few wolf shirts at one of the boutique fashion stands. There was a large stage, a medium stage and one garage with live music of the following genres: Funk, Little Kids Rapping and Screamo. Sick.
Alice loves this band. Especially the way the singer kept wrapping the mic cord around his neck. "Screamo's back? It's NOOSE to me!"
There was even some action outside the metal-detector protected boundaries of the street fair. All around the ‘hood there were many people (“hipsters?”) displaying some brightly colored and shiny cars. Party on 21st St, and everyone was invited!
This little pink car looks like a lemon.
Back on Mission Street, it was a car-free affair. I hope you already stocked up on some children’s pimp outfits – The joint is now closed.
It's a sad sad day for tiny child pimps.
After all the insanity, everyone left the Mish and lounged away in the sun at the very lovely DP.
Hey, isn't that the guy from La Corneta?
All things considered, we had a fun day in the Mish, with no stabbings or pies to the face.
The Notorious Megan (Stone Cold Killah)
May 10, 2010Did you know that Mish grade-schools have decided to start teaching “Tagging” as part of the core curriculum? Below is photo evidence of what I can only assume is a recent field trip, to put that paint into practice.
That "M" could use some work, homeslice.
I don’t think Megan has taken the workshop on “Choosing Your Handle” yet. I mean, I like that she’s keeping it real by throwing up mad props to the name her mama gave her. But the Mission po-po don’t mess around, Miss Megan; might as well have slapped your student ID up there, too.
Oh! And look! MEGAN HAS FUN WITH FONTS!
A Unique Twist on "Sans Serif!"
Two tags + two fonts + one wall + given name = A+. A-fucking-plus.
Yours,
Alice
How would you like your lion, sir?
April 5, 2010I spent the good part of a rainy Easter Sunday wandering around the Mish looking for some Easter treats. There were none to be found. What I DID find, however, were two grocery stores on the same block with the same name: Casa Guadalupe.
The smaller one is beside “Mision Pie” and has a #2 on its banner. (We’re assuming the bigger one down the road is #1.) In any case, it’s #1 in my books. They didn’t have any xocolate eggs. They DID have this:
Simba?
Are these lions free-range? Factory farmed lions are the WORST.
Avanti in the Mish
March 22, 2010One thing I enjoy about the Mish is the abundance of cool cars. Check out this beauty:
I'd like to drive this one down a hill.
It’s a steely beige relic of times long past. Times long past being the late 80s. I can’t imagine that there are more than a couple hundred of these fire-breathers in the world. Way to keep it real, the Mish.
