Right? We do Shitty Kitty Meet Ups there, we did New Year’s there, we’re often just, ehem, there. It’s a great bar and we’ve had a great two years getting to know the bartenders and owners–plus having a bar named after our old hood in SF really helped us with our move to Brooklyn. So we were really excited when they asked us to make a Shitty Kitty inspired poster to highlight all of their 2012 brewery events. (See below.)

Maybe we had a lot of experience in the bar to work from to nail all of those Shitty Kitty poses? Maybe.

So this also seemed like a good time to review all of the posters we’ve gotten to make in order to promote events at Mission Dolores. They’ve all been a delight to make, and then to do as events.

Here’s the first one we did for a Shitty Kitty Meet Up in July 2010. Doesn’t it look just like Diego Rivera’s “Man at the Crossroads”? There’s even the first ever “Vladimir Lenin Shitty Kitty”!

Next we teamed up Sixpoint Craft Ales to help promote the launch of our book To Timbuktu. Nothing like beer to help get folks buying books right? Yep, worked like a charm. And big thanks to Bergen Street Comics for helping sell all night!

After that one we teamed up with the fine folks at Sixpoint again and helped them launch their beers in can form, or as they refer to them as “nano-kegs”.

More recently we had an “eleven, eleven, eleven” Shitty Kitty Meet Up at Mission Dolores where we harked back to Casey’s early years spent as a figure skater. (She had an ice dance to Sheryl Crow’s “All I Want to Do…”, though she really wanted to do one to Green Day.)

And finally there was this past New Year’s Eve. Such a blast! See photos and such from that here, or just relive the night by trying to pick which face in the matrix best represents you that evening. (“Ashton Kutcher Shitty Kitty” anyone?) (Yes we know all about that as we are semi-proud subscribers to Us Weekly.)

All for now, but we look forward to even more fun times with these crazy folks at Mission Dolores. Happy 2012 everyone!

This summer we entered a t-shirt design contest at our favorite San Francisco bar (where Shitty Kitty was born!), Shotwell’s– and we won! Here’s the design that goes on a classic white tee:

You can pick up your very own next time you swing by Shotwell’s for a brew. Make sure to say hi to the bar owners Dave and Tom for us!

You can also order the shirt online here from the good folks at Taverntees, but recommend stil going and saying hi to Dave and Tom for us.

Shitty Kitty is back this Thursday at Mission Dolores bar 7pm along with her new best friends: $2 pint cans of Sixpoint Beer. Haven’t you heard? They’re selling Sixpoint cans!

Mission Dolores bar is on 4th ave in Park Slope between President and Carroll.

Many Brooklyn readers of this blog most likely know Liam McWilliams best as the bouncer at our favorite bar in NYC, Mission Dolores. (Seen here with his very own Shitty Kitty creation at one of our many Meet Ups at M.D.)

That’s certainly how we met him. But somewhere between the Meet Ups and being a good old fashioned bar patron we got to know him and thus know of the new arts and culture mag he just launched today, Theft Mag.

He did a pretty bitchin’ job describing what the mag is all about in his first article as editor-

It’s a time of no heroes. Batman wrapped the Batmobile around a tree and Superman lit himself on fire freebasing Kryptonite. In times such as these, we must put aside our similarities and embrace being different. A voice without an audience says nothing, so we dusted off the soap box.

Through Theft, currently resounding inside your head, we hope to bring to light the oddities and the obscene. A venue to voice ideas and concepts that need an outlet. A publication, of sorts, with the intent of coagulating characters of all walks and instigating mighty discussion between people. We welcome debate and have an affinity for hearty banter. These are some of the major principals responsible for the creation of Theft. Where we will go from here is uncertain. That is however, the entire reason we began Theft. It isn’t as much fun when the end is in sight.

We’re down. Here’s our first submission, a retelling of one of our favorite jokes including the word Timbuktu, which we also retold with our good pal Shitty Kitty.

This weekend Shitty Kitty had a date with Dakar. They hit it off right away at hip new club called Must. Even though there were a couple power outages, the beer stayed cold and the comics stayed dirty. Get the whole shebang on Shitty Kitty’s website.

That’s a Peul joke by the way. Humor got real local real fast.

We keep saying “wow” because it’s so great to be back on the road again, but it turns out we’re also saying “yes” in Wolof all the time. Ah well. At least we seem agreeable. Our itinerary so far:

Stop #1 New Years Day layover in Madrid. The Spanish did not let us down. Yes, that clock says 9 am. Yes, those are beers that people are drinking.

Stop #2 Dakar, Senegal. It looks like Mali! But with many more paved roads, lots more skin showing, and ads for beer all over the place. We have not taken one of these buses yet but are they not the COOLEST?

Actually, the wrestler Yekini is apparently the coolest. We went to his big match vs. Bombardier and the crowd not only waited devotedly for him for more than 4 hours, they went completely wild when he won and everyone talked about the match all over the city for the entire next day. We felt pretty in. (Yekini is on the left.)

Stop #3 St. Louis, Senegal. I taxi’d it up north to the old capital, Steven and our friend Noah who is teaching in Dakar took a plane.

We saw our friend Patrick who’s doing good on a Rotary grant up there and going to Akon concerts. Sand streets, fish, and supposedly a view of Mauritania!

Kind of like a lot of this region, this building looks like art and the apocalypse all in one:

Stop #4 Petit Cote, Senegal. Beachyness.

Stop #5 Bamako tomorrow for a big fat reunion with all of our Malian friends who are in our book To Timbuktu!

Yep. We got hacked. And now Google and the whole Internet thinks we’re an infected site. We’ve been working on it for quite some time now and it had better be fucking fixed. All we need now is for the Internet to agree. Hopefully Shitty Kitty can help with that.

You + Shitty Kitty + all your friends + Missions Dolores Bar + $10 pitchers of Sixpoint = THE BEST NIGHT OF YOUR LIFE AT THE SHITTY KITTY MEET UP TONIGHT!

5:30- 8:30pm, Mission Dolores Bar, 4th Ave Brooklyn.

As always, you just bring yourself and your filthy sense of humor, we’ll bring the drawing supplies.

For those of you who haven’t been to a Meet Up for a while or never before, here’s a little reminder of how to draw Shitty Kitty:

And to really show Santa some respect, come by the Shitty Kitty Meet Up tomorrow, this Friday, at Mission Dolores Bar 5:30 to 8pm. Draw, write, drink, laugh, maybe even make someone their very own shitty Hanukkah present. There’s eight nights. You got to get creative.

Be there, which for the Mission Dolores Bar is on 4th Ave. between President and Carroll here:
