Mission Mission

But we’ll give it to you if you want it.

After countless delays and a near two year gestation period, Middle Eastern sandwich shop Zaytoon is finally ready to meet the neighborhood.  We happened to walk by the spot on Valencia between 22nd and 23rd tonight as they were celebrating their grand opening (that’s one of the two Palestinian owners sitting there on the left) and managed to sample a bit of their falafel.

The texture was perfect, with a slightly crispy outer shell coating a soft yet firm center.  Both the falafels and the tahini are made in-house every day, and are featured on a menu along with lamb and chicken shawarma, available on either pita or lavash for $7-8.  Give it a try yourself to see how it compares to Truly Med and Old Jerusalem!

That’s right! On July 2, you can go to a special event in the bowels of the Armory and watch performers put stuff in each others bowels! And there’s art involved. AND it’s for charity!

All you have to do is become a member of some organization, quick. Full press release after the jump.

(Thanks, Corvax!)

Reader Andy B. sends word of the Mission’s presence in a new comic strip:

The first print edition of the SF Public Press just came out this week and it includes an awesome full page comic strip from bad-ass underground comic strip artist Andrew Goldfarb and independent journalist Shawn Gaynor.

It’s about the sit/lie ordinance and told from the perspective of a day laborer from the Mission named Alberto whom Gaynor interviewed for the story.

More info, more frames, and a PDF download of the whole comic at http://www.standagainstsitlie.org/

Thanks, Andy!

The official press release explains:

The Billboard Liberation Front (BLF) is honored to announce a new marketing partnership with Philip Morris (PM) that finally brings together the rugged sense of American independence with your most important choice as a consumer: your death. The message of “My Life. My Death. My Choice.” informs and empowers the consumer to choose, as their god given right, how they want to die. Philip Morris brings this message to the consumer to remind them that some rights are inalienable in life as they are in death.

Read on.

Almost as good as the AT&T one.

(Thanks, Rick!)

This is not the first time, certainly, but what a shot. Look at the doom in their eyes.

End times are near, people.
