Mission Mission

Here is a pendant shaped like a pickle jar:

And here’s one shaped like a terrarium!

Adorbs, right? Both are available from the Mission-based Yellow Owl Workshop.

In the wake of yesterday’s officer-involved shooting, protestors apparently took to the streets:

A whole lot of SFPD responded seriously quickly:

After the jump, a bunch more show up and march down to the BART plaza:

I have been meaning to try this since I stumbled across the recipe a few weeks ago. I used the new Prairie Reserve bourbon I recently picked up at the High West distillery, some avocados from the Dixon fruit stand, and Bi-Rite vanilla (from the freezer in the grocery, of course, I don’t have all the time in the world.) Topped off with a little coconut water, the consistency was perfect and it tasted interesting to say the least, like a savory vegetal egg nog. I can’t think of a better combination of ingredients to represent the new Marina than bourbon, avocados, coconut water, and Bi-Rite ice cream. Enjoy!

(I honestly don’t know how I ended up on a site called Mighty Girl.)

Drink of the week is brought to you by Poachedjobs.com.

Details are still forthcoming, but the initial account has a kid running from police (his apparent transgression is unknown at this time; hopefully it’s not something as insignificant as vandalism) when he was shot three times, possibly in the back. Again, we’re still waiting on the whole story.

In the meantime, a retaliatory tag withe the word “KILLERS” decorated the Mission police station, which is currently on high alert. The neighborhood is swarming with cops right now. Everyone please be careful out there and let’s not do anything crazy, ok?

UPDATE: Now we’re hearing the kid was approached by an undercover officer and then started running, after which he was shot three times in the back. Why, we still don’t know, but please be careful out there everyone.

UPDATE 2: Mission Local has more details on the situation, but it looks like the person who was shot also allegedly pointed a gun at police officers.

Congrats, Mr. Cruz. We wish you well.

We do wish you’d reconsider your decision to practice your new livelihood at a more suitable office location, however. Nevertheless, your plainly mounted degree, visible to all, helps us to appreciate what is surely a high degree of skill that you offer your clients.

Local cinephile David Enos offers a remembrance:

In 2007 I saw Blade Runner here for the first time – I’d never been interested, it looked too boring when I was growing up.  They had the re-release for a couple weeks.  Anyway, a memorably good time.   It was freezing cold outside, and during the movie it started raining loudly on the panels of the ceiling. [link]

Sad beans! Beasts of the Southern Wild opens there tomorrow; shall we? Here’s everything else that’s playing.

Also, let’s all go patronize the Roxie a bunch before they have to shutter too.

Our pal Lizzy is in the middle of a great series called Grandparents’ Matchbooks. Many are from Michigan, a few are from SF, all are awesome blasts from the pasts.
