Mission Mission

Sorry, everyone, I realize this is unrelated to the Mission.

Or is it?!

If anyone wants to throw a Microsoft house party, call me up.

You guys!  I love love,  Muni, and Missed Connections, which is why I so thoroughly enjoyed this post on Muni Diaries, as well as it’s accompanying photo:

Romance on public transit!  From Flickr user jenmaiser.

Alexander Crane’s missed connection occurred a few months ago; I’m curious to hear whether the babe with the feather earrings ever got in touch.   Alexander or feather babe: write in!

And lastly: Muni Diaries asks for Muni missed  connections and thus, I will follow suit and request that you send Mission Mission your Mission missed connections.  Send love notes to: missionmissionmission at gmail dot com.

Seriously, I’ll get you a girlfriend with bangs and pretty eyes in no time.

Real rat, stuffed rat, 40 oz. of the champagne of beers, fifth element, ninth gate, 16th street…

The list goes on, courtesy my roommate’s iPhone.  Ask me how!

Here, real quick, is why you should see Eats Tapes next time you get a chance.

Zomg!  The things you learn trendspotting on Twitter (no big deal)!

I assume I’m behind on this one, don’t judge:

Call me crazy stupid or whatevs, but I never realized Dolores Park was dorth of the Panhandle.  Hmm.

A few days ago we were curious if the Guardian Angels were actually accomplishing anything.  SFist found the answer:

Via friend of SFist, Ted: Just saw a drug deal go down in front of an oblivious Guardian Angel at 16th and Mission. Then he held the door open for the drug dealer so he could enter Burger King wile counting his money, thanks for helping out, beret wearing urban mercenary!

SF Food Wars is hosting another competition on Oct. 18th.  This time, it involves executing cupcakes.  Wicked Pissah.

They have already issued their call for competitors and tickets (limited to 170) go on sale Monday, so get ready to reg up.

Following Friday’s shootings:

The captain of San Francisco’s Mission District police station will hold a meeting with residents tonight to discuss police efforts to stem gang-related violence, which left three men dead over the weekend.

Police are still trying to figure out what triggered the initial hostilities, but the conflict is believed to be between separate factions of Nortenos, police spokeswoman Sgt. Lyn Tomioka said.

Word.  The meeting will be held tonight at Mission Educational Projects, Inc. at 6 p.m., and will be hosted by Mission Station police Captain Stephen Tacchini.

Address is 3049 24th St. at Treat, if you’d like to attend.

I’m not going to lie, I really want to rag on a fad that allows people to sell unpermitted food on the sidewalk for $15 dollars, but, hot damn, the Frankenweber and the pizza that comes out of it looks so fucking good.

Breaking Trend: A new pigeon run burrito Street Food operation opened up in the gutter on 20th and Mission.

This group of pigeons are mostly friends of the original pigeon, so the actual pigeon enthusiasm about this new pigeon venture may not be accurately reflected here. Nevertheless, analysts give it a high chance of success, given the fact that it’s in the gutter, and aimed at a mostly pigeon demographic. The bird will eat where the man won’t.
