Mission Mission

Who would of course be Brian Barneclo, the artist behind the massive 60 foot Systems mural by the Caltrain station, as well as the newer one by Foods Co.  His new work emulates the same style, but on a much smaller scale, of course.  On the other hand, it’s a lot easier to sit inside!  Stop by and take your turn on the Soapbox, and then check out some of his other rad work at the neighboring Luna Rienne gallery.  Check it out, there’s even a mini court!

Noise Pop are presenting this bill at Public Works on Wednesday night, and I think it’s gonna be pretty chill:

Get tickets here, or for a chance to win a pair, tweet about this post and tag @missionmission and @noisepop. Winner will be selected at random; contest ends at 5pm Tuesday.

It’s just like a regular Berlin-style ping pong party, but it happens every Monday night for 6 weeks (which means ample time to forge new friendships and rivalries) and there are prizes at the end.

Sign up! (Or tweet about this post and tag @AmericanTripps for a chance to win a FREE team membership.)

A grumpy commenter suggested Mission Mission shouldn’t be posting about the beach.

Little does Mr. Grumperton realize that we are actually preparing for sea level rise and the glorious arrival of Dolores Beach!

This via @DnomadB‘s most excellent (experimental) sea level rise mapping tool.

Precita beach looks pretty nice now that I think of it. Maybe we can catch a ride over there on a taco boat.

More San Francisco sea level rise scenarios (including some awesome place names IMHO) over here.

P.S. I hadn’t thought about the Space Twins in like 15 years…

You know, on these hot summer days, when you want something a little more complicated than a beer, but making a cocktail just seems too hard, and leaving your backyard seems a *lot* too hard… just make a shandy! Sneak Attack + aranciata works pretty good, but half the fun is playing with different combos.

Let’s get to work!

Update (5:16pm): This combo works pretty good too…

Not nearly as good as the other two marg options I’ve mentioned today, but it contains real tequila, it’s a damn sight better than any of the other BuzzBallz, and, to be honest, it’s on par with or better than most dive bar margaritas (not including all the good options we have here in the Mission, obvi).
