Our first stop at Mr. S Leathers was the masks section. Leo was particularly drawn to them; he said he wanted to create a look inspired by Mad Max. He layered a few masks over each other, but the effect was too tight.

"I feel like I'm getting a facelift," he joked.

Eventually, he opted for a simple, aerated mask that covered just his nose and mouth. EJ selected a few gas masks in different colors and we moved on to the clothes themselves. Lesson learned: It's pretty tricky to get a lot of masks on and off without help, so have a friend help you get ready for Folsom.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
