Tonight: Kitchen Nightmares visits the Bay Area
Tonight’s episode of Kitchen Nightmares takes place in the Bay Area! Gordon Ramsay visits Fremont’s Spin A Yarn, a strangely named restaurant where apparently all the food comes from cans. The food looks pretty sad. In fact, this is the only episode I’ve seen where someone other than Ramsay throws up. That said the focus…

Imanes mierda, ¿cómo funcionan?
Looks like there’s some kind of Latin Juggalo festival in town, if this poster is any indication. The idea of Latin Juggalos is a little odd considering Insane Clown Posse fans are notorious for being, well… gringos. It’s good to see that they’re branching out. (Spotted all over the Mission.)

I Love You
Flyers proclaiming their love for you have started appearing around the Mission. Is this some kind of viral marketing for a new romcom staring Adam Sandler? Someone’s unusual art project?
