If you were at the stadium for opening day, hopefully you saw our message. While some say it’s petty to respond to our enemies to the North, we just couldn’t sit back and let the Giants fans have the last word on Opening Day in our house. In case you weren’t sure what LA 5, SF 1 means, it’s because the Dodgers in Los Angeles have five glorious world championships, while the lowly Gnats have just the one. Bill Shaikin of the LA Times covered the battle of the skies and seemingly delighted in our counter-offensive, but also elided the crude and promotional part of our message, which was Giants Suck! and lataco.com– the one site in this city that cares about you.

Huge, massive thanks to new good friends at Tom King Aerial, who worked with us to make this affordable. Did you hear about the banner? That’s the kind of buzz that aerial advertising can deliver, and the only choice is Tom King Aerial. Seriously, why would you go anywhere else? Tom King Aerial cares about Los Angeles and was willing to make this happen despite the fact that LA TACO runs on less then a shoestring budget.
If you got pictures of the banner, please drop a link to them in the comments.
GO DODGERS!!!

The artist Snyder dressed up the controversial Cardiff Kook sculpture as Vincent Van Gogh to celebrate VG’s birthday. Synder writes TACO to tell us:
A severed ear, Absinthe bottle, sunflowers and card are at the base. The statue is decked out in full costume and an easel was welded to fit on the nose of the board. I painted the painting of the view from the sculpture in a post impressionism style. In addition, 6 paper mache crows are scatted around the sculpture and in the intersection.
Hope you dig and raise a glass tonight to Vincent!
More photos here.
Snyder has been doing interesting stuff in So. Cal for awhile now, we’ll have a post of some his LA stuff from last summer up soon.

Some would say that if you need a spreadsheet to plan your social life, you probably have no social life. I say no.
I say, allow technology to do what it does best. In this case, organize information and make it easier to have good times on the cheap. Frankly, I can’t think of a better use of Google Docs. This spreadsheet is created by Redditor Grimitar, who should be commended for his contribution to cut-rate quaffing.
