Everything you do is a balloon
I imagine the conversation went a little something like this: “Hey, how should we decorate our storefront?”“Well, all I have is this bike pump and a drawer full of balloons.”“Uh… *scratches head* sounds kinda like a plan!” And there you have it; a storefront filled with balloons. (With apologies to Boards of Canada.)

New murals on Dolores St.
Across from Dolores Park there’s a Christian Science church that’s been shuttered for a number of years. Recently a developer wanted to turn it into housing, but so far that hasn’t happened. Instead it got boarded up, and now those boards have been filled with some spiffy new murals by fnnch, Analog Monsters, MaxEhrman and…

Schedule your day like a skater
Sure, you could go to the library or a bookstore and find a book about optimizing your daily schedule. But that would involve reading more than three words, and therefore is a sub-optimal use of your time. Instead, take the advice of the sticker I found on a wall in Clarion Alley and schedule your…

Meta Muni shelter
At some point recently, the ad on a Muni shelter at 16th and Valencia was replaced by a painting. But not just any painting, no — this one depicts what’s behind it. The trash can, the Muni map, the Well’s Fargo, etc. Though I should point out that the guy in the painting was not,…

Face sculptures in Clarion Alley

It’s taco time!
Tick tock, tick tock! Yup, it’s that time again — time to get a small tortilla, fill it with your choice of beans, meat, salsa, etc. Perhaps you want to make it “super” (a Spanish word for “guacamole and sour cream”) for an additional dollar. Whatever floats your taco boat.
