Mission Mission

Eh, perhaps I meant “change of signs,” but that’s not as catchy.  In any case, it looks like Rhea’s is going with the classy retro look to match their classy sandwiches.  Meanwhile, they’re up to something over at Escape From NY Pizza, but as to what, your guess is as good as mine.

Also, if you’re not outside right now, you’re totally blowing it.

Hats have always been big I think, but on a day like today they just really seem to work just right. Look how much fun these two are having!

Don’t freak out.

Although it’s still not as hot a look as rocking a Cyclops ping pong paddle.

P.S. Bring your paddles, X-Men-themed or otherwise, to Saturday night’s Berlin-style ping pong party in the Lower Haight! RSVP here for FREE BEER!

UPDATE: Thanks for the lasers, Beau!

Hey all you 4/20 stoners with minimal wave boners, guess what happens tonight? Before Grace Jones butchered it, there was the original Warm Leatherette version by The Normal. Now you can relive the golden age of lo fidelity darkwave jams spanning genres from minimal wave, cold wave, synth punk, post punk, etc. Expect goths-with-good-taste and their friends at the lovely Submission space on Mission & 19th.  Tunes provided by resident wave-ologists Nihar, Justin, Jason P, Dreamweapon, and Riegler. Visuals provided by Subset. Event link here.

Peep Pal’s anniversary menu, full of contributions from Pal’s best pals:

Guest Chef Carlo Espinas from Comstock brings his rabbi pate terrine banh mi w/ ginger-pepper sauce, cucumber, River Dog farm pickled carrot-daikon, cilantro, jalapeno, mayo/Acme torpedo roll

Our original Pal Dave Knopp makes his coffee-rubbed and smoked Marin Sun Farm pulled pork on Acme roll w/ creamy slaw and Dave’s BBQ sauce

Bread populist Josey Baker gives us his 3-seed sourdough bread on our Aleppo-maple roasted turkey breast w/ Fromage D’Affinois, Richie from Hapa Ramen’s meyer lemon mostarda, black olive, wild arugla-mei choi greens
spring garlic mayo

There’s the usual veggie sandwich too, plus Kate’s Toffee Crack for dessert, and you can always grab one of their special TV dinners!

The first heatwave of Spring is officially upon us, and that means it’s time for another Bloody Marython! Join us this Sunday as we make the rounds through the Southside of the Mission, with plans to hit up the Attic, El Rio, Iron & Gold, and the Knockout! It better be a shitshow by the time we get to the end, so don’t disappoint!

We’re gonna start at the Attic at Noon, and you can follow any moves we make by checking out our Twitter. Also, don’t forget to tip well! See ya there! RSVP and invite your friends!

I love the trippy foreshortening, like it’s dreamed Dolores instead of real Dolores. It’s supposed to be like 80 degrees this weekend btw. Can’t wait!

I can’t say for sure who this Nick Fisher character is (but one wonders if possibly he’s the Nick Fisher from the New Twitter #space video or the Nick Fisher from our Dr. Teeth Death Sauce movie), but he’s either a genius or a real sicko or a real sicko genius.

Reader TJ posed the question in the comments section of yesterday’s post about international pop star Gotye winning it all at a pub quiz in the Tenderloin a couple days ago.

So how about it? I’ve heard good things about Shotwell’s and the Sycamore.
