Mission Mission

Spotted at the Phoenix.

This was the scene at the new food truck spot on 18th and Bryant yesterday. It’s a nice sunny courtyard just north of 18th, and hopefully will be a good food option in the area. I used to work on that block, and there’s only so much Tortilla Flats a man can take. 11-2, Monday through Friday.

The Brass Knuckle food truck. Note the Occupy SF fries, $8.

If you’re an artist who’s been looking for the perfect gallery in which to show your stuff, now’s your perfect opportunity with the first juried exhibition over at Gallery Hijinks!  They’re looking for works from all over the world and for any medium, and there’ll be live performances from sound artists and lectures from local artists like Renee Gertler.  Plus, they’re having an auction at the end of the month for all unsold works starting at 50% of the price!

Watching women romp around in red latex, splashing it up in an inflatable pool, is my inner sailor’s dream come true. Add liquor and lube, and that fantasy becomes exhilarating – until, of course, the substances splash toward me, at which time that dream turns into a nightmare.

Here’s the latest in a series of shocking fake ad campaigns that have been popping up on Muni buses. The text reads: “Fartine Bakery & Cafe. Wait in line for five hours to buy a fucking donut.” Someone should smash the windows of that place before they sell any more pastries.

Our pal Jenny Odell, word-renowned repurposor of Google Maps satellite images, has a new shirt available on Threadless this week. It’s 104 Airplanes!

I Am Bummed. (Right?)

Rice Cracker Sushi is popping up tonight at Dear Mom, and I can’t wait to see what exactly some of these curious sushi rolls entail!
