Carnaval in the Mish! What? What!

June 7, 2010

Last 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.

Lions + Tigers + Wrestling + Pan Flute = Yes We Can!

Dear omgthemishers, I have made an amazing discovery.  I can’t overstate the amazing awesome radness of this store.  This is the store to end all stores in The Mish, ever.  It’s cute and small and easy to miss all tucked away on a dusty corner of 24th street near Mr. Burbujas.  It’s called G. G. Tukuy, and it’s great.

This place has it all: one of a kind wolf shirts, both OFFICIAL and AUTHENTIC masks used for backyard mexican wrestling, tiny wooden flutes for warding off the ills of the city, similarly styled rugs, bat spray, Christian paraphernalia, need I go on?  I went in there today and bought a shirt that featured a grizzly bear, a full moon, a timberwolf and two pumas having intercourse with John Cena.  It was insane.  Even better, I am told by a reliable source that the goods inside are all certified Fair Trade and Vegan and all that.  Wicked!  Next time you’re visiting that friend on Florida street, check it out.

More than just Wolfs

Chihuahuas for sale! And Wolfs!
