Mission Mission

All I know is, their name is Boyz IV Men, this graphic is funny, and they do a song called “Gold Plated Gold.” Plus, I like the idea of shows taking place in the Adobe Books Backroom Gallery. Show starts at 8:30pm tonight, and is free. Link.

Workshop starts at 6:30 this evening, and Leonard Flynn Elementary. More info at the San Francisco Planning Department City Design Group’s Cesar Chavez Street Design page.

Imagine a New Cesar Chavez

Meet Cameo. Cameo is a beekeeper, and she has a business idea. She wants to open a beekeeping shop on Valencia Street. The shop will offer top-quality local honey to local honey lovers, and top-quality beekeeping gear to local beekeepers.

It will be called Her Majesty’s Secret Beekeeper, and Cameo is chronicling the fits and starts of getting a business off the ground on the official company blog. Post number one:

From the very beginning, I wanted the store to be on Valencia street.  I’m a little weird in the way I shop in SF.  I’m still a small-town girl at heart, so I always try to shop within the borders of Castro, 16th, 18th, and Valencia.  And plus, 826 Valencia, Paxton Gate, Four Barrel, Five and Diamond, Ritual… I can go on forever.  Valencia Street is the bomb-diggity.

Read on for more about Cameo’s search for a space, and all the paperwork and junk that follows.

Also of note: Cameo is friends with our old pal Emergency Beekeeper.

What happens when a bunch of dinky little mopeds hop on 280 between King Street and Mariposa? Watch this video and find out.

Mopeds Are Stupid? (Note the fateful comment by one “Tad Benton.”)

Ryan Farr‘s blog is a stunner. Every single post makes me think a little, and every single post makes my mouth water a lot.

In this most recent one, we learn how to make bacon mayo. Link.

Telstar Logistics just pointed us toward this great map of the network of freeways once planned for San Francisco.

Imagine Golden Gate Park surrounded by freeway. It’s like something out of science fiction! Great names on this thing though: Panhandle Freeway, Circumferential Expressway. “I’ll be there in five; I’ll just hop on the Circ Ex.”

Link, or click map to make it way bigger.

Update: Burrito Justice linked to this map in last week’s post about the Mission Freeway, and I didn’t even recognize it. Link.

Mei at Family Styles has a full rundown of yesterday’s Grilled Cheese Invitational in Dolores Park:

i got there a little after the start time of 1pm, and missed the handout of orange wristbands that marked you as a judge and therefore entitled you to plates of sandwiches. this wasn’t explained too well on the website (some dude admitted they were a bit disorganized) but the vibe was great and people were giving out taster sandwiches anyway, you just couldn’t vote. then people started leaving and giving up their wristbands, and then competitors started handing out the plates to anyone, so we ended up with a pretty fantastic selection.

Tons more pictures and commentary here.

Carlos Reyes is one of our favorite bloggers and photographers, and look at this, he’s also in a band (Commissure) and he’s great at making concert flyers. Link.

Dave Schumaker, live on the scene, says:

If you want to be a judge for the Grilled Cheese Invitational, you better get here quick. Long lines!

Link.

Update: Oops, too late. Sister Mable says, “just heard anyone not at grilled cheese yet wont get grilly toasty goodness! dangle!” Link.

Also, Emily Wood highlights what a bummer this is: “San francisco maxes out by 1215 on grilled cheese judge wristbands. Hundreds in dolores park devastated.” Link.
