Seems like some bros made a video about “chilling in the park” set to a relevant chillwave song by the Official Chilling Soundtrack of 2010.5, Toro y Brah. Feel like nothing about this is “not brobvious” [via kewt hula hoop girls, multiple washed-out heart sunglasses closeups, “this is gonna go on a blog” outtakes]. Still, feel like maybe “that is the point”. About a year ago when I started this blog I was like this lonebro who just moved to SF and was like “in my ideal brociety just want 2 chill and listen to chill tracks in the sun with my bros”, and felt like that was kind of somehow “alt” then [via the electrowars winding down, bros needing to learn how to “get out of the house/club/dj booth”]. But all memes reach a saturation point and I feel like “chilling with my bros in the sun” is reaching maximum brahpacity, kinda like the park. Feel like the park is a “visual representation” of a meme growing in popularity. Feel like videos about the park are trying to capture this ‘maximum meme state’ and feed it back into the internet in a continual meme loop that we can all just kind of chill to and feel like we’ve all been “part of something” that transcends the boundary between reality/the internet.

In short, I feel like it’s ok that Brolores Park is mainstream now. Seems like this will all just force us all to “chill harder” and figure out new ways to represent ourselves as a brommunity that can then be brocumented and discovered by new bros….

sorry bros trailed off there feeling 2 chill 2 type [via chillwaving]

You guys I’m confused. I went to the park today to chill but when I got there it looked like I was at a relevant music festival. Felt like I was at Brochella [via last weekend]. Couldn’t find any place to put down a blanket and rest during the bands because it was so full. Couldn’t find any bands either. I think maybe the bands couldn’t fit into the festival because there were so many people there. Wonder if you even need bands to have a relevant music festival anymore. Seems like you can just have ‘grass’ and ‘people’ and ‘drugs’ and ‘a dj playing chillwave’. I wonder if next weekend Dolores is going to start charging $300 for a three-day ticket to make sure that people ‘experience the whole thing’ instead of just coming for one afternoon… worried that Dolores is going to sell out of tickets… should I just be like ‘f the festival’ [via s0 entry level] and go to motel side parties instead? Wait, are we still in San Francisco or did Dolores Park move to L.A./Indio [via photogenic palm trees in the background]?

I saw this brontraption at the park and I couldn’t tell if this was a ‘dj booth’ or a ‘food cart’. It seems like it is trying to be a relevant mix of two popular alt technologies/memes. I wonder if this bro makes ‘record shaped pancakes’ on the turntables/stove. I wonder if they taste like ‘organic vinyl’ or if it is actually a turntable that plays records that sound like someone is cooking. This whole situation is making me feel ‘stoned’ [via Trufflebro]. I wish someone would just bring back ‘normal’ food vending like taco trucks instead of having to make everything all conceptual all the time.

I feel like a relevant food meme that is also ‘authentic’ could be Indian Fry Bread [via the Arizona State Fair // miss u]. I think I might make a food cart called Neon Indian Fry Bread and play Neon Indian while cooking fry bread on turntable shaped hot plates. I might also wear relevant Native American-inspired zig zag prints.

Broilus and Cressida

Watched some bros do Shakespeare in the park this weekend. Couldn’t figure out which play it was, but I think it was a bromedy, because the Shakesbros kept acting ‘wasted’ together/making sexual innuenbro and no one got broisoned [via Romebro and Juliet, Macbro, Brothello, Brolius Caesar]. I think that’s how you tell the difference between a bromedy and a tragedy [via English class].

Seems like Shakespeare writes a lot of plays/scenes about bros. Feel like he might be the original Bro Blogger.

American Pastbroral

Wonder if this bro was using his laptop to read Brolores Park.

[Bro-nfessional: I just made this post from a PLANE. Feels inauthentic and wrong. Feel like all posts to Brolores Park should be made from natural settings in which the ratio of grass and palm trees to ‘other materials’ is at least 70%. I wonder if I should turn over Brolores Park to this pastoralbro in the pic who might ‘only use his laptop while in the park’ and while ‘laying on relevant adobe slabs [via Animal Collective]’. Feel bad about posting from an ‘inauthentic place’ [via Virgin America overreliance on neon]. Do you think Richard Bro-nson has any plans to upgrade Virgin America planes to an adobe wall/Animal Collective aesthetic, like with grass instead of carpet? Hope so. I feel like you could authentically blog from a plane like that.]

Halt, who bros there

S0 glad the park is back [via summer in Febroary].

Saw bros this weekend taking last year’s memes to the next level. It seems like bros are seriously throwing down the bro-ntlet this year.

Remember how last year bros were into incorporating relevant elements from homeless culture?

Saw this bro taking hobro chic up a notch with a medieval hobo walking stick, his own bedding, multiple layers [via t-shirt + flannel + hoodie] and bronus jean cutoff shorts.

Bros I need to interrupt our regularly scheduled park brogramming to bring you news of some serious nuclear-level broliferation happening at Four Bro-rrel Coffee. Sort of feels like an arms race in there to see who can accumulate the strongest brocessories and ‘maintain brontrol’ of the situation. Really thought this bro had it in the bag with his Wranglers, 3-day shadow, flannel shirt, and Native American pattern wool vest with bronus bro-rduroy collar.

But then I turned around and saw this bro making a strong showing with his long-sleeved Native American pattern sweater made out of 20 pounds of wool with intense colorblock chest/arm band and bronus zig-zag cuffs. Feels like I’m in the middle of a real indigenous Mission bro-nflict that is only going to escalate. Wonder if Four Bro-rrel is going to need to get bros to sign ‘treaties’ to keep the peace between warring bros competing for heavy woolen zig-zag brominance.

It’s Pre-season in Bro Park

Things are starting to bro up.

Did some preliminary scouting of the bro leagues today. Noticed a few important upcoming memes. One of them might be bronanas. Saw this bro getting really into eating his banana, and then behind them I overheard this new bro selling brownies (not last year’s bro with the mystical bronze brownie urns— new bro has more of an Insane Clowne Posse style) talking about how he’s selling ‘PB&J’ brownies. Feel like maybe Brolores is going to have a Banana Bropublic theme this year.

Rain rain bro away come again some other day

S0 rainy lately, bros. Can’t even go to the park. Not sure what to do with myself when I’m supposed to be ‘chilling’ but there is no relevant outdoor chill spot to go to. With all this rain I have taken to getting more ‘bromestic’. Yesterday I went to Bro-Rite and was checking out the intense display of brorganics they sell. This bro who works there and whose job is to ‘make you feel like you are on the farm’ talked to me for like 15 minutes about the exact type of salad to buy. I wanted something really authentic so I decided to buy watercress. Seemed like the most authentic green thing they had [via not being mainstream].

Then I was talking to him about what else I could add to make my salad authentic. He showed me the most authentic apple to get— it was called a “Jack” apple. Jack reminded me of whiskey, which is authentic, so I was like, what would happen if I put whiskey in my salad dressing— seems like that would work. And he was like yeah, and I could tell he was jealous that he hadn’t thought of putting whiskey in salad dressing first. But to bro-up me he started suggesting other things to put in the salad, like blue cheese. He got this other bro to help me decide what the most authentic blue cheese was. So at the end of all that I had all these ingredients for probably the most authentic salad you can possibly make, so I thought yall would probably be interested, since we’re all just kind of sitting around inside waiting for it to stop raining.

The Most Bro-thentic Salad of All Time brought to u by Brolores Park:

1. Watercress. make sure it still has the roots on it when u buy it [no roots = not authentic]

2. Jack apple, cut into bits

3. the most authentic blue cheese in the case [I got something called ‘Neal’s Yard’ — seems like Neal is probably a chill bro]

4. a lemon

5. olive oil

6. some brown sugar [via the Brolling Stones ‘Brown Sugar’]

Chop up the watercress and apple. Then mix some lemon juice and olive oil and sugar and whiskey. Not gonna tell you the proportions because I think you’re supposed to make your own authentic mix [via cooking as djing].

Pour the dressing on the salad and crumble some cheese on it. Might want to drink some whiskey and listen to some vinyl while you’re eating. Broila… an authentic rainy afternoon.

Happy Bro Year everyone!!

Not really sure what to expect from 2010. So far today it seems pretty chill. Went to Bro-Rite market to buy some bro-ganically grown food and chilled with bros at the checkout line. Saw that they are featuring some super hand-made alt whiskeys with handwritten labels that make Maker’s Mark look like Walmart whiskey. Based on my bro-liday experiences across three states it seems like the entire alt nation is in agreement that drinking hand-made whiskey that no one’s heard of is pretty much the only/most authentic thing to do right now.

Not sure about 2009. Thought it was going to be the ultimate chill and authentic year, like the culmination of the decade where we could all celebrate how authentic and ‘true to ourselves’ we’d become, but then it turned out to be more about confusing ‘struggles’ and ‘surprises’ [via Tig Woods not being ‘who we thought he was’]. Feel like struggles and surprises aren’t very chill, but you kind of need them because they help you ‘grow’. Feel like we all ‘grew up a little’ in 2009.

Feel like now that we’ve struggled a little maybe we can ‘stand tall’ and ‘chill’ in 2010 like these palm trees.

As I was walking by Brolores today I was thinking about how palm trees are kind of like bros. They like to chill together in groups, and they usually kind of ‘dress the same’ [via long palm tree hair/beards, but sometimes they all get their hair cut at the same time], and they are kind of chill. Whenever I need to feel more chill I seek out some palm trees and just kind of bro out with them. Feel like I can tell them my problems and they just sort of chill listening to me, kind of nodding like, yeah, seen that before, it’s gonna be ok bro. Kind of makes them the ultimate bros.

Do you think that palm trees are the new bros/wolves/Girls in 2010 [via bro-ganicism]?

Chill Friary Alert

walked by the San Damiano Friary at 19th & Brolores last night. saw some bros in friar costumes and noticed that their house was decorated with candles and spiderwebs. couldn’t tell if it was a ‘real friary’ or a ‘bro house decorated like a Haunted Friary’ [via high concept Hallbroween ideas]. so I talked to a friarbro in a robe and he told me that it was a real friary and they just felt like decorating for Halloween. then another friarbro came up who was actually dressed like the Grim Reaper. but he was also a real friarbro and lives at the friary.

basically the point of this story is that this is the chillest and most authentic friary/bro pad [via Brothers of the Society of St. Francis] in the world, where they both ‘chill with bro-ed out holidays’ and also do good deeds like serving the homeless every night and blessing animals in the park. think that friarbros might be the most authentic bros in the world
