Enjoying the View is a collection of iPhone photos taken from the same spot at the top of Dolores Park.  It’s like an iPhone timelapse, only it’s nothing like a timelapse.

Who knew that any part South Van Ness not around Bender’s could look so nice?

Previously on Mission Mission:

DP ≠ Dolores Park

Cindy sends us this tip:

Once or twice I referred to it as DP while gchatting and was later informed, by my boyfriend that DP stood for double penetration. So now I always write it out, to avoid confusion.

Now I know why my friend replied “fuck no” to my “dp?” text the other day.  This is awkward city and I’m running for mayor.

Pi Bar to Open Next Week

Finally, we can put the Summer-long Pi Bar meme to rest.  Today, Urban Daddy brings us the first comprehensive set of details about the new restaurant.  Sounds like it could be good times (although it seem as though they think 3.14 * 2 is the same as 3.14².  Whoops).

Hey Beauty Bar, if one of your chairs was stolen, I think I spotted the suspects.

Free Web-Enabled Cells Phones in Dolores Park THIS SUNDAY

Broke-Ass Stuart, this one is for you.  Some scavenger hunting party collective is doing a reality TVesque hunt this weekend in Dolores Park.  What makes this notable is that they give all participants web-enabled cell phones.  Yeah, you’re probably expected to return them at the end of the hunt, but who is stopping you from never finishing?  Free fucking phones, people.

On a more important note, the theme of their scavenge hunt is “Mission Hipsters vs. Marina Preppies.”  This is not the first time this week we have seen this theme being used.  Honestly, this theme is so played that you’ll get the clap just from looking at it.  Team Mission Mission had a little staff meeting and determined that, going forward, the acceptable “Haha.  Oh, San Francisco” party theme is “People who view the city as a mass of Hipsters and Preppies vs. people who actually live here.”

Are Belts the New Underwire Bra?

Mission Vegans Need to Learn How to Market Themselves

sf_vegan_bakesale

I saw this poster for the upcoming SF Vegan Bakesale and first thought, “Sweet!  I love cupcakes and the last vegan bakesale was fucking delicious!”  But then I really looked at the poster.  Vegans should be depicted as state-smashing, corporation-crushing, heart-breaking, chain smoking bike riders with an attitude so surly it is adorable.  So, what the fuck is this?  Vegans: if you want people to join your cause, do not pretend to be virginal middle schoolers whose most naughty action was sneaking an episode of “The Simpsons” while your parents were not looking.

Here, I made you a better poster:

Nothing says "our cause is awesome as shit" like an American flag bikini wearing, riffle-holding, hockey mom that will never win an election again but boys in Alabama love to masturbate to.
