Mission Bowling Club (and Mission Burger) will hopefully be located at 17th and South Van Ness

First we heard about the concept and saw Mission Bowling Club’s floorplan, then we heard the epic news that Chef Anthony from Mission Street Food and Mission Burger will be doing the food. Today, the Examiner revealed the forthcoming establishment’s proposed location, 17th and South Van Ness.

Moreover, a couple of our Supervisors are giving the project a push:

Bowling and boozing — two inherently related activities — are the subject of city legislation designed to clear the way for a proposed new six-lane alley and bar-restaurant in the Mission district.

Supervisors Jane Kim and Scott Wiener want to tweak the planning code to make way for the new locally owned business, which wouldn’t otherwise be allowed because past problems with the area’s drinking culture prompted restrictions on new liquor licenses.

Read on. Hmm. I wonder what other killer concepts might emerge in the wake of these tweaks…

(Thanks, David!)

How Van Ness is it?

The art of the remix

Our buddy Myles Cooper (who you might remember from that time he wrote and recorded one of the best party jams in the history of music) just put together a summer mixtape in which he warps and bends some classic hits and classic oddities into a wholly contemporary 31 minutes of summer fun.

Bullett Magazine has the free mp3 and all the details right here.

Ooh, and if you like that, do revisit Myles’ epic reworking of a Mariah Carey tune (complete with Farolito burrito). (What?)

Let me guess. You transport fruit?

Is that a banana in your bikini bottoms or am I just happy to see you?

Return of the Whoa-hawk

It’s looking perhaps even more epic than last year, right?

What’s going on here, photo crew and Yakuza-looking bros?
