  • Outdoor mistletoe in San Francisco

    Mistletoe appeared above several San Francisco sidewalk corners yesterday. I saw it on 16th and Dolores, 16th and Church, and 18th and Dolores. And it seems to be working — I watched a few couples use it. Photos follow! 16th and Dolores mistletoe: 18th and Dolores mistletoe:

  • Food Not Bombs punk show at 16th and Mission Bart plaza

    Once again, I got off Bart and found a punk show! Today’s show was somehow part of Food Not Bombs, and the bands came all the way from Brooklyn(!) for the show. Can’t say I know who these bands were. After the first couple songs I was so deaf I really couldn’t hear them announce…

  • Jejune Institute

    I was walking to my job in the SOMA district of San Francisco one morning, and I came across a strange poster. The content was completely off the wall — according to the poster, there was a camera that could see through time. A few days later, I saw a similar advertisement for speaking to…
