Mission Mission

It’s in the same building as Mission Bicycle, behind a locked door. To open the door, you have to check in using Foursquare or Instagram. (Or just ring the doorbell, I guess.) The door opens, you go inside, up a flight of stairs, and then you’re in Photojojo‘s secret store surrounded by lots of great gifts for the pro and amateur photographers and photography enthusiasts in your life.

Surprise! You don’t buy a carton of eggnog!

Our pal Eric (as part of his beautifully shot, edited and scored Thirsty For… series) shows us how it’s really done:

Our friend Heather found this notice posted up at SF General, where she works:

Do not wear while going to Dynamo Donuts, El Metate, or Humphrey Slocombe

Probably best not to risk looking like you have a reputable job when patronizing said establishments anyway, you might look like you can actually afford it here.

From El Tecolote‘s Facebook page:

According to El Tecolote there are no injuries.

UPDATE: Mission Local says that there were four cars involved and that at least one person was injured.

Holiday cheer! This will likely be the holiday party to end ‘em all! Here’s the deal:

The first SINGIN’ & PINGIN’ was the most fun anyone had ever had in the history of ever, so you’re darn right we’re doing it again! And we’re making it our official holiday party!!

DJ Purple (http://djpurple.com/) is an award-winning performer, and his DANCE KARAOKE parties are the stuff of legend.

We’ll have two ping pong tables for plenty of Berlin-style action, as well as foosball and skeeball in the mezzanine, drink specials, lots of dance floor, karaoke lyrics up on the big screen, and a handful of cozy rickshaws for cuddlin’.

RSVP and invite your friends! (And then peep DJ Purple’s songbook and get a-practicin’!)

Pics of the epic Singin’ & Pingin 1 right here if you wanna see what you’re in for.

I still don’t get it.

Our pal Xtinal got to tour the Kink.com armory and spotted an “upgraded” Johnny 5. Times must be tough, even for escaped sentient Nova robots. We know he can feel love, but can he feel… you know… pleasure?

BTW, have you seen the El Debarge video for “Who’s Johnny”? Total disappointment. They clearly didn’t have the budget to hire the robot or Steve Guttenberg, so they just put a cardboard cutout of Steve and a lame puppet robot arm into a few shots. The song still holds up and they did manage to cast the ultra-cute Ally Sheedy, though:
