Spotted these on Lombard Street right across from the Palace of Fine Arts. One’s labeled “Justice For Oscar Grant“, the victim of that infamous BART Police shooting on New Year’s Day ’09. Get the full story at JusticeForOscarGrant.org.
Spotted these wheatpaste pieces on Market this morning. DigiDave says they’ve been poppin’ up around town. Is it just a random dude in a Yankees hat? Or is it bizarro Hank?
The artist is San Francisco’s Hugh Leeman.

Spotted this vintage, uncut sheet of Burgermeister tin can labels at an antique shop in Sebastopol, CA. Coincidentally, the same town I saw the Burgie can below. (Read: The Old Hessel House Garage Sale)

A new sandwich spot has popped up next to the old Enrico’s in North Beach: Naked Lunch. Resident artist and fav of the Umlaut, Jeremy Fish did their logo. Which is what caught my attention. But one look at the menu and I’m on a mission. Even though I’ve got my fav sando stand, The Sentinel, half a block from my office, this sounds worth the hike up to North Beach. Drool on this:
+ Foie Gras & Duck Prosciutto Sandwich
w/ Heirloom Tomato, Butter Lettuce, White Truffle Oil
+ Salty Dulce de Leche Ice Cream from Flash Freeze
The menu’s limited and things can run out,
so follow their updates on Twitter.

Eat: WTF’s Happening Inside the old Perry’s on Sutter?
Snapped these on my way into work this morn.
What’s happening? To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Candyland, they’re turning the curvy part of Lombard Street into a real-life game for the kids of UC San Francisco Children’s Hospital and the nonprofit Friends of the Children to actually play. Isn’t that awesome?
Gallery of Candyland on Lombard Street at SFist.
More info at SF Examiner.
Spotted these off Sutter St on Trinity Place. Ever since I moved here I’d see these all around SF. But they’d be painted over by the time I’d swing by again with a camera. Not this time. Thank you crappy iPhone cam.

The Golden Gate Bridge opened on this day in 1937. I’ve been crossing it daily for five years and still gawk every time.
Go gawk the nice shots, as in not taken by my iPhone, on SFGate.
Umm, yeah. Spotted this on Montgomery & California in SF’s Financial District. Target marketing. Or propaganda-ing.
Recognize that red thing on the left? Check the link below.
Whoa, this looks sweeeet. Not sure where it may go. Under the 280?
DLXSF has all the pics.
The record label describes Patrick Watson, the man and the band, as a “musical mad scientist.” His live show at Du Nord was proof. This photo is Exhibit A.
Dark, dreamy, and playful. Crooning, sweeping, and stomping. Like carnies on a pirate ship. Really-freakin’ talented carnies. Every member of the band displayed such musical chops, we’re still buzzing.
So what’s with the megaphones? See the rest »
Nerdy but awesome. The lame explosion at the end is made all better with an awesomely lame “Ding Dong“. Love it. (via Fang > Gizmodo)
Same guys did this vid last August:
The piece was created by Obscura Digital and sponsored by McAfee.
Obscura modeled the Mint in 3-D, then used 3DSMax, along with their own proprietary software, to do the media. Add seven HD projectors and you’ve got this awesome spectacle I would’ve stared at all night.

Jonathan Ratcliff snapped this pic of San Francisco’s drum-and-guitar duo, The Ferocious Few, down on Powell & Market. What’s rad about them, on top of their raw-ass sound, is that they play all around town. Like, on the street. A lot. Check their MySpace for dates and tunes.

Pretty cool way to make the announcement. Wonder if they’ll have their own iPhone app like Coachella.
The 2nd annual Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival hits San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park August 28th–30th. Visa presale tix begins April 15th.
One question—Pearl Jam, Dave Mathews Band, and Beastie Boys as the headliners—What year is this?
