Bryant Street Doug’s Suds closing due to unreasonable rent

Hampshire House just published a fond farewell:

Dear Doug, remember when we used to wash our clothes together while basking in the smell of citrus breeze and the hum of Latina hookers yelling “pinche puta” at their lovers wives on the tv. Those were the days…

Sounds nice! And see here for Doug’s own farewell notice, posted on the wall inside.

Surprise Sheryl Crow live acoustic set last night at Beauty Bar?

It’s true too. We checked with her management company AND her Twitter. AND her Tumblr. It’s true. Janebook doesn’t lie.

Anyway, I’m sorry I missed it. I hear her new stuff is dope.

 

Twitter and gentrification

This week’s edition of Necessary Conversation opens with a fun gag about Twitter’s hot new tax break:

Hangin’ with the Guardian Angels

We mentioned last week that the San Francisco Chronicle’s Phil Bronstein was seen hanging out with some Guardian Angels in the Mission. Today, the results of that hang were published in video form:

Bronstein has more to say here.

(Thanks, Katie!)

Reminder: Debaser 3rd anniversary party is tonight at 111 Minna!

And to help get you in the mood, earlier this week the Debaser boys released a new mix, and get this: it’s a sort of re-imagining of the Singles soundtrack:

[H]ere it is, our first ever, full length, official Debaser mixtape. That only took three years to get around to!

We like our parties to be period accurate wherever possible. So in that spirit, we present you with our ode to love and love lost in the ’90s, themed around the classic, Cameron Crowe film, Singles. If you listen closely, you can hear some choice cuts from the film, but also the ringing, jangling sound of the fall of 1992 and spring of 1993.

Epic! Listen here.

And don’t forget to check out all the submissions in the comments section of our Debaser 3rd anniversary party ticket giveaway. Tons of killer YouTube clips!

And of course, it’s never too late to RSVP and invite your friends to tonight’s party.

Mellow times

With live music. Tomorrow at 8pm.

First MM Bloody Mary Tour this Saturday!

UPDATE: The tour was a success. Read all about it!

As we hinted earlier this week, the first ever Mission Mission Bloody Mary Tour will be taking place this Saturday.  We’re tentatively scheduling to start at noon, and the first stop will be none other than the 500 Club to sample Rachel’s famous bacon bloody mary (pictured)!  The schedule will go something like this:

  • 500 Club
  • Elixir
  • Zeitgeist
  • Bender’s
  • Pop’s

If any of you would like to join us in order to collaborate, you are more than welcome!  We plan on staying at each spot for about 30-45 minutes, which is plenty of time to enjoy one bloody mary comfortably before heading over to the next location.  We’re going to have scorecards to help rate them all according to a variety of pertinent categories, so hopefully every bartender will be on their A game!

This is going to happen rain or shine, so bring umbrellas and stuff if you have to!  A nice vodka and tomato-fueled romp across the neighborhood!

Also, since Argus, Thieves, and the Attic all seem to have their special bloody marys on Sundays, they will have to wait until the Second MM Bloody Mary Tour (which will probably happen in about a month or less, actually).  Nonetheless, there will be plenty of delicious bloody marys to go around!

See you on Saturday at noon!
