Mission Mission

Mission Street Food’s next move has been announced: Mission Chinese Food. Starting in July, they’ll operate out of Lung Shan seven nights a week, offering awesome Chinese food. And THEY DELIVER. Eater SF has all the details.

The big question is this: Will the lighting be pleasant like at Mission Street Food, or harsh like at Lung Shan?

Mission Street Food’s FINAL NIGHT

We know one way to relax while watching the World Cup (see below), but what if the tension of the whole thing has your shoulders scrunched up to your ears? Well, Mobile Massage N’ Soccer combines the two things you require!

Despite the fact that the US team is getting shelled by Slovenia to the tune of a seemingly insurmountable 2-0 score, we can take solace in the FREE homemade McMuffins paired with potently spicy bloody marys at neighborhood stalwart the Phonebooth. Assembled with either veggie, ham, or bacon in addition to eggs and melted cheddar, they provide welcome sustenance at this ungodly early hour. A great place to catch future morning games as well!

Also USA team, I realize the Eastern Bloc has enjoyed a considerable resurgence into relevancy in recent years, come on, this is Slovenia! Let’s take it!

Looks like our pal and favorite experimental photographer Walter Dukes has moved on from the critical “superimposing disembodied celebrity heads and reflective orbs into photos” phase of his career to the wonderful world of retina-searing HDR photography.

Love it or hate it, one thing is for sure: you’ll still be able to see it after closing your eyes for at least 10 minutes.

It’s an old joke, but here it is.

Worker-owned collectives are rad places to work, right? Well now’s your chance.

Queena over at the B. Citizen just hipped us to her in-depth profile of Abraham Linkin, that freshly attired duo we all saw rapping in the park last week. In it, their manager or something visual mastermind delivers some real talk:

Abraham Linkin is anti-bling and anti-gangsta. Not hard and thug, just dudes like you or me. It’s art for and from real people.

Read on for more mission statement, and the official video for “I Got it at Ross.”

Thanks, Queena!

Reader James P. recommends checking out the Wishing Tree on 24th Street near Bartlett:

I just read a bunch of the wishes and it’s a lovely thing; a brief respite from the nightmare of spilling oil and dying sea creatures

But B.P. said they’re sorry!

Saturday is going to be such an awesome day. It’s too bad I’ll be out of town in that other liberal coastal city that is often compared favorably to San Francisco.

In addition to the Mission Community Block Party at 22nd and Bartlett, be sure to check out these things around the corner:

In an email circulated this morning by Dana Ketchum of the SF Recreation & Parks Department, it is revealed that the Board of Supervisors will hear a proposal tomorrow that would allow ANY member of the public to appeal ANY event permit at ANY time.

This means that if one group was planning to screen, say, The Royal Tenenbaums one night in the park, another group could tie them up in appeals for weeks or months just because they think Wes Anderson sucks.

This reeks of improbability, like it could never possibly be approved, because the Parks Department itself would be forever tied up in appeals, like they’d have to hire an army of appeals processors to keep up with demand. Still, Ketchum’s email expresses urgency and concern, so maybe there’s a chance this thing actually goes through.
