If we can brave the crazy traffic, we’re heading out the the Silly Pink Bunny Funeral tonight at 6pm (corner of Haight & Laguna, SF).
The SPB & murals on the corner will be destroyed as part of new development on the block. There are plans to replace the bunny with a new 10′ bronze bunny also in the Haight!
Fish has been posting crazy pics on his instagram of SPB statue’s wild night on the town:

Where Hearts Get Left is Fish’s first gallery show with Upper Playground in 5 years, featuring 60 new works inspired by and created as a visual love letter to the city of San Francisco.

Our friends at TRUE suffered a devastating fire in their men’s store on Haight Street last night. We’d like to encourage people to help them out by stopping by the shoe store, True Sole 1429 Haight Street, SF, True East 1335 South Main Street, Walnut Creek or online at Trueclothing.net. They are planning on rebuilding, but they’ve got quite a big task ahead.
