Mission Mission

Carina spotted this rapturous scene on the J the other day. The best part?

The one on the left smiled the entire ride.

Read on.

First Warhol inspired street art, now this?

Tomorrow night (Tuesday 10/26), a bunch of bay area musicians (including Liz Phair!) are recreating the Velvet Underground & Nico in it’s entirety at Coda Lounge on Mission and 14th.

Here are the confirmed artists:

• Dave Mihaly
• Matt Adams/The Blank Tapes
• Rupa Marya
• Aaron Novik/Sarah Palmer
• Adam Theis/Jazz Mafia/Liz Phair
• The California Honeydrops
• Mark Matos & Os Beaches
• Jugtown Pirates
• Michael Musika
• Charith Premawardhana/Classical Revolution
• Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind)

This will probably be a total shit show. I mean, the musicians that make up these groups alone will probably occupy most of the club to begin with. So if you want in, you’d better score some advance tickets right now here. There will be a 7pm show and a 9pm show.

They are also going to record this entire show and put out a record of it. So if you can’t make it, you’ll still be able to hear it someday. We’ll keep you posted on that as it develops.

More info on the social network.

“Are you injured? Are you alone? Are you driving without insurance?” Jonathan Byers wants to help.

That’s the third option, right? After these two:

Both photos are by Male Awareness Day, a great blog about graffiti and surfing and dudes.

Or rather, that was the last time I have seen so many happy people in the streets.  And now that the World Series will be a battle between Texas and San Francisco, why don’t we also make this about more than just baseball.

For instance, it should settle the Evolution debate once and for all.  If Texas wins, fine, no dinosaurs.  But if SF wins, the Old Testament will henceforth cease to hold any relevance in the education system (or legislature, for that matter).  While we’re at it, why don’t we also throw Gay Marriage in there too!

Go Giants!

Ticklefight spotted this joyous scene on 24th last night.

Go Giants!

Yeah, Bottom of the Hill definitely seems to host a fair amount of acts with terrible names. And they all seem to want to advertise how terrible their names are by putting their stickers on the bathroom wall for everyone to see. Curious.

What band names make you cringe?

Fugu Designs fabricated this killer piece of jewelry just for you:

This copper cuff bracelet was photo etched using a map from 1909.

Streets run from 29th to Buena Vista and Douglas to Noe.

The recesses were highlighted for contrast and the face is protected with a layer of Renaissance Wax.

Made from a 6 inch length of copper, the bracelet measures 2.5 inches across and 2 inches tall. It’s a standard medium but has a little give.

Only one available! Buy it now!

(There’s also a Detroit and a Chicago and some other stuff.)
