Mission Mission

It’s called the Peacemaker and it’s just as nuts as it looks — and you can get it with a side of gravy-smothered fries. Full menu here (though it erroneously states that they serve breakfast and brunch, which apparently they no longer do).

Even one of the neighborhood’s premiere sandwich experts was impressed:

The only advice I would offer these budding entrepreneurs is to raise their prices! As you can clearly see, they were completely sold out of lemonade by the time I got there, but I still managed to snag a delicious cookie for a reasonable (and apparently market-balanced) 75 cents.

They were also offering advice in the form of “oblique strategies” for just a quarter, and not being one to turn down insight from some genuine hood tweens, I received this little scrap of zen:

A depiction of how you’ll end up.

Finally, a classic cool kid, delightfully/annoyingly mismatched.

And it all goes down this Sunday. Here’s the deal:

We’re FINALLY back after a long winter break for a full Indie Mart Street Fair complete with 110 vendors, all day music festival (did we mention Ty Segall jamming with the SF Rock Project kids!), DIY galore, food, drink, cheap beers, foxy eye candy, a dance party afterwards & more! We’re so proud to be turning 5 this year- still repping truly local, up & coming rad vendors & makers and showcasing the best in DIY culture from every aspect (makers, music, food & more). No big venues with sponsored lounges, no vendors from outside of CA, no attitude and just a bunch of fun, wether you want to shop, drink, eat, party, people watch or all of the above. We cant believe its already 5 years…all from lil beginnings in my teeny mission yard♥

Read on for full details (including bands’ set times). RSVP and invite your friends!

Haven’t you always wanted to know what it’s like to work at a rail yard, hopping on trains, hopping off trains, starting trains up, etc.? Here’s an opportunity to go behind the scenes.

Wild that a bunch of local rail yard workers use Mission Workshop backpacks in their daily routines, right?

More info.

Gets the job done; is way easier to put on. And looks cool.

Local singer/songwriter Wolf Larsen teamed up with Mission filmmaker Pete Lee, Viracocha, and what looks like the mysterious silhouettes of the Patzner bros for her latest music video. It was filmed within the reclaimed-wood walls of Viracocha with little/no budget. If watching a graceful modern dancer caress vintage typewriters to ethereal breakup music is your thing, you’ll love it. You will probably like it anyway. NPR did.

Wolf’s alter ego, Sarah Ramey, happens to be a fascinating person. She was the personal blogger of the Obama campaign in 2008 and is currently writing a book “The Lady’s Handbook for Her Mysterious Illness” which probably has to do with her struggle with an illness that’s been keeping her in treatment in Washington D.C.

Also, check out Pete Lee’s stuff if you haven’t already. He recently did a crazy martial arts music video for Aesop Rock.
