Marina Cookout
The Mission crew set out to the Marina to wine and dine with Matej and Petra. Good times were had--the Slovenian iPad experience was not 100% satisfactory, I hear, but check out the drawing thingie!--and great food, as prepared by the resident Mexican. ¡Órale!
Chilis. Don't rub your eyes after doing this. Or go pee-pee.
Spot the chef with the red towel. Also, Slovenian iPad experience.
Balls of cheese? Cheese balls? Doesn't sound right, but great with the soup!
Petra, our hostess with the mostess.
So you slice. And you dice. And you cook for hours.
Matej and Mufti contemplating the universe. No, tortilla chips.
"No, Mufti, it is my tortilla chips that is heaven in a bag."
You will sizzle. You will liquefy. You will make a damn tasty soup!
No Rubber Wheels!
Hey, it was BYOBW!!!!! craziness on Potrero Hill! It rained like a motherfucker on the day of Bring Your Own Big Wheel, but that gave nobody no nevermind, as peeps had been building their rides and making their costumes. The point? To go down a curvy hill--down Vermont--on big wheels (kids' toys, basically) and look awesome while doing it. This was the 10th annual BYOBW, great stuff!
The Caped..Helmet Guy?
Mr. Blockhead tells peeps to get ready.
And the race is on. Plastic wheels make thunder!
Run, you bastards! Big wheels about to dominate!
Lookin' fierce.
What goes down, must come up. They did a number of runs despite the rain.
Bunny ears!
Heading up the hill for the final run. Good times!
At The Roller Derby
We've gotten kind of into the roller derby scene in the Bay Area. On Saturday, The ShEvil Dead of S.F. took on the Oakland Outlaws ("whoo-whoo" to Jane Hammer, 777!) at Fort Mason and after a super-tight bout, Oakland took it home 103-106. Big ups, but we'll get you next time. ("Whoo-whoo" also to the "Blue Collar Special": A shot and a PBR=$5. Hello, Mr. Advil.)
B.A.D. - Bay Area Derby Girls. Fun!
Warming up for the bitchin' bout. It's the San Francisco ShEvil Dead!
B.A.D. as I wanna be!
