Cookiewaits: Tom Waits/Cookie Monster mashup- God's Away On Business

The whole "Tom-Waits-Sounds-Like-the-Cookie Monster" thing was a meme before there ever was a word for "meme".

But, finally; Someone pulled the trigger. And it is a thing of glory.

Mr. Rooter, Judah St & 25th Ave

Mr. Rooter's got a new look...

Addendum: Across the street there's a Muni stop. A Muni stop that has its own Wikipage & Facebook page. Is that weird?

Orco vs Urkel

This was taken quickly. On my phone. So, the quality is less than perfect...

As seen in the men's restroom at Dave's Bar, SF, CA

That being said: Orco could probably kick Urkel's ass. Unless Urkel busted out the robot, maybe. Urkel had a robot at some point, right?

R.I.P. Terry's Lodge

Terry's Lodge will soon be gone.

According to the license application notice thing on the door, it'll soon be known as The Brick Wall.

We'll keep you posted.

UPDATE (well, more like, ADDENDUM)
I went by yesterday and heard this song coming from inside. I love this song...

Inner Sunset Sidewalks: Every Body Bikes!

Not my body. Maybe it would if it had one. Maybe.

 UPDATE
Mystery solved: It's all about a bicycle shop called (not surprisingly) EVERYBODY BIKES.

They're hosting an art show around the corner from their shop, Art I.S. Getting (T)Here.


For more info, check out the Art I.S. site.

The INSIDE OUT Art Project Makes the Scene In the Inner Sunset

A few days back, this caught my eye as I gazed out the window of the N Judah on my way to work...

I'm pretty sure the M-thing wasn't part of the original picture...

The link listed in the bottom right corner didn't really work. But, it did lead to the INSIDE OUT art project.

...a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Upload a portrait. Receive a poster. Paste it for the world to see.

You can send pics of you pasting said poster for the world to see to the website as well.

It's the brainchild of JR, this year's winner of the TED Prize.

Someone uploaded a pic of this lil tyke to the INSIDE OUT website; Got a poster made; And then pasted it on the wall near the N Judah stop on 9th Ave & Irving.

And then someone added a weird M tattoo. (a dick move, I think. But, I'm an old fuddy-duddy).

I hope, in my own small way, I'm contributing to the global audience.
