'You Got Served 2: Electric Boogaloo' Filming Last Night In Osage Alley

I think. Or maybe it’s just a bunch of Dance Mission Theater folks being awesome:

Billy L., who captured this on video, says:

Stumbled upon this last night in Osage Alley as I was walking to the Attic. Half expected Keenen Ivory Wayans to walk out at the end. Pretty sure they’re from the Dance Mission Theater next door.

Baconcamp '10: May 8

Do you love bacon in stuff? Of course you do! Well hey, guess what? Baconcamp is in the Mission this year!

Next Saturday afternoon, May 8th at Chez Poulet, you will be able to crowd around a small table with other wild-eyed baconnoisseurs and unapologetically shove folks out of the way to get at the salty goods prepared by local bacon experts. Or if you’re smart you can wait by the kitchen and snatch things off the trays as they are making their way across the room. Ah, this all brings me back to dinner at Cloyne Court Co-Op in Berkeley.

If you’re thinking about entering a bacon creation this year, be advised that bacon and eggs smiley face is old news and review the following categories:

  • Best Overall – This is the audience choice award.  All attendees will have a chance to vote.
  • Top Savory
  • Top Sweet – a dessert or candy
  • Top Condiment or Drink – sauces, infusions, seasonings

  • Inventive – most creative use of bacon.  it’s unexpected and tasty
  • Photogenic – when you see a picture of it, you want to lick your screen
