by Andrew Dalton on June 21, 2010

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 [...]

by Andrew Dalton on May 26, 2010

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 [...]

by Andrew Dalton on May 20, 2010

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 [...]

Five Star Truffles Gets Clean-Bombed

by Andrew Dalton on May 6, 2010

by Andrew Dalton on May 4, 2010

What is this travesty?

Are people in the Inner Richmond just total suckers? (They must be or they wouldn’t live in the Inner Richmond, right?) Granted, [...]

Whoops, Almost Forgot It’s April 20th.

by Andrew Dalton on April 20, 2010

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 [...]
