So it turns out the Arco/BP Shutdown party wasn’t just a one time thing and the Facebook Revolutionaries behind the protest are doing this weekly now (who knew?). More importantly though, last Friday’s protest not only angered a lot of drivers, but it apparently pissed off Arco Station owner Larry Armstrong who, according to facebook [...]
After hearing the announcement on Wednesday that ING would be dropping their Bay to Breakers sponsorship, the fine Citizens for the Preservation of Bay2Breakers (Why do we always put a 2 in there? That’s stupid.) put together this data-filled press release/blog post detailing why Bay to Breakers (Or “B2B”, barf you please) will still be [...]
This morning, the Chronicle, SFAppeal, SFist and your friend who doesn’t even live in San Francisco all reported that ING has pulled out of their Bay to Breakers sponsorship. The reasons for halting the bankroll? Well, it’s all unofficial rumors, but apparently, “ING is fed up with all the bad publicity that the race has [...]
It’s officially award season! That magical time of the year when everyone briefly cares about printed versions of the websites they sometimes go to. Last week we had SF Weekly’s Best of 2010, which we discussed, and now this week 7×7 Magazine has birthed their own little bundle of joy. Because you’re a busy person [...]
Mike over at IBikeNoPa reports that another cyclist has been struck by a motorist in the neighborhood. This time it’s not at the Masonic and Fell intersection that’s been causing so many problems (mostly for drivers) lately. Instead the accident, reported by local Matthew Brill, occurred around 2:45pm on Sunday at Fulton st. and Arguello [...]
We talked briefly before about KKKatie (real name: Katherine Dunbar), the aggressive and reportedly unbalanced tagger with a love for misappropriating political symbols. Today, our friends over at the Appeal reported that she’s been busted, with the court piling on five counts of felony vandalism with hate crimes allegations, four misdemeanor vandalism counts, a couple [...]
Because we’d hate to see the whole internet become one big blog about tagging, here’s a guy hard at work removing some 19-year old’s scribblings from the window of Five Star Truffles on Divis.
Now, here would be a good place to go on a rant about how making a bunch of loopy, indecipherable letters on [...]
Hey, this is pretty great! Robert Rodriguez’s gag-trailer-turned-feature-film Machete has been in the works for awhile, but with all the shenanigans going down in Arizona they’ve put out a special reel as a big middle finger to the land of frat dudes and abandoned suburban housing developments. Don Johnson alert at 1:37. Who even knew [...]
What is this travesty? No, not the fishy-eyed perspective of this photo – We’re talking about the Buckshot in the Inner Richmond encroaching on Madrone’s creative property and then overcharging you for it. Are people in the Inner Richmond just total suckers? (They must be or they wouldn’t live in the Inner Richmond, right?) Granted, [...]
This isn’t the first time this happened. Last year on 4/20 I went for a jog through Golden Gate Park, leaving my apartment at roughly 4pm, only to stumble upon Hippie Hill packed with bridge-and-tunnel stoners eager to spark up at 4:15. (It’s the spiked haircuts, Famous Stars & Straps T-shirts, and girls in short-shorts [...]
jie: please do not use violent language if you are accusing someone of doing just that. The term you used to refer to this girl (whom I am not defending) is one that is loaded and, akin to swastikas, a symbol of intolerance and hatred. As a Jewish woman, I find both incredibly offensive and hurtful. Yes: my family was killed the Holocaust, and I have women in my family who were killed because of their genders (as women). So please, think a bit more before you speak. Thanks. - please...
