Lolcat IRL
On Saturday, Josh Zubkoff and a dedicated few gathered at an alley way on 100 Quincy St., San Francisco to paint the world’s largest lolcat on the side of a 3-story building. Click the picture for the inspiration.
Here’s the result:
When it was all over, we did have cheezburgers. 
Here’s the full coverage from Laughing Squid.
Thx everyone and it was great meeting all of you! Maybe we’ll meet in another city for a Ceiling Cat mural.

Clicking on the link to see more pictures of the mural, I liked the O Hai license plate.
I got a picture of this on Sunday and was going to submit it myself! I’m glad to see it up here before I got the chance though
It’s much more amazing in person!
I love it that Ted Rheingold has an “o hai” license plate! He gave me Catster props for the lolz on my cat’s page — now I understand the depth of his love of lolcats, hahaha.
The crazy thing is that I used to live within a few blocks of this place.
Kudos to the brainburgers and artistburgers that made this happen!
