Mission Mission

Five dollars for photobooth at the Knockout?  You have misjudged the wealth to ingenuity ratio of your clientele.

One person at dinner was like “I’m not trying to be a perv, but does anyone else think those look like butts?  And then ANOTHER person was like “I just asked my gf the same thing!”  Pretty sassy, Mission Chinese.

Dolores Park Works just published this map along with official details on the closures, which are mere weeks away. And some activity even starts this coming Monday:

Construction workers will be on-site between May 23rd and June 1st installing a new temporary access driveway into the park just south of the intersection of Dolores and 19th Street for use by service vehicles while the main driveway is closed for the playground construction project.  This construction activity will result in the installation of a temporary safety barricade immediately around the area of work. Bauman Landscape Construction is expected to begin staging and performing pre-construction activities during the first week of June.

An interesting point. Taggers, take note.

I have good news and bad news.

The bad news is that Hellen Jo, longtime Mission art babe known for her brilliant illustrations of gnarly ghosts, Lady Gaga, Kristen Schaal, and other amazing stuff, is moving to Burbank to work on Regular Show. The good news is you get to buy all of her cool stuff this weekend:

Yes, I know garage sales happen all the time, but this one has a pretty flyer and you can bet your ass there will be kick-ass comics, crafts, guitars with all sorts of pointless switches all over them, and probably more conventional practical items like toaster ovens.

Also, if you’ve got an eye on Hellen’s bitchin’ pigeon helmet (which will also be up for grabs), you’d better move fast. I’ll bet you’re not the only one:

Here’s the FB page, and craigslist for the sale. It’s Saturday from 12-5pm.

Update:

Cancel the BYOB… KEG.

Karaoke at Jack’s last night was continuously awesome, mostly because of DJ Purple, the classic triple-threat (DJ, backing vocals, saxophone solos.)  But I didn’t feel comfortable calling it “art” until this girl got up there and crushed Sorry Miss Jackson with nary a stutter. In case anyone missed it, she returned half an hour later to close down the bar (lights on) with Nicki Minaj’s latest radio hit (again flawless.)

Cheers, mystery rapper!

The other day our new contributor Helen was telling me about Ghetto Scrabble. You play whatever made-up words you want, so long as you can use them in a cool sentence. Sounds great, right? (We should all play soon, right?)

Then today, Sad Hawaii posts this picture of what looks like an incredible game of Ghetto Scrabble. Well done! Now somebody just needs to put together Ghetto Words With Friends.
