Mission Mission

Reader deaddollz wants to know what happened to Ba-Kok:

this kid bombed the mission hard from 06-08 then disappeared. is he/she in jail? moved to a new city? died!? i don’t know, but i do know that i miss this silly shit. ba-kok 4-life. sf misses you!

Indeed! Here’s the official Mission Mission report from way back in March of ’08.

The music is good, the staff is pumped, and there are plenty of Chocolate Things, plenty of every kind of cookie — plenty of everything you could possibly want.

TK has a number of thoughts on the matter. Here’s a taste:

I don’t even like GBA as a song, and I like even less the forced patriotism of being told to treat it like some secret national anthem. I guess this took off after 9/11 and then just stuck, like permanent war and the TSA. Go ahead and call me un-American if you must, but I’m happy with the one national anthem we already have.

Read the rest, and watch the video, here.

Check out these exciting flavors for fall! Inna Jam is making deliveries in the Mission on Friday, so place your orders quick!

And be sure to follow Inna on Tumblr.

Box Dog Bikes alerts us to this fact in yesterday’s post about Co-op Awareness Month. Read all about it.

This thing would let pedestrians and cyclists avoid that big hill from Aquatic Park up into Fort Mason. Which would be easy on the knees, but then when would we ever hang out on Fort Mason’s beautiful green?

Anyway, SFist tells us all about it.

But that’s just me. Maybe I’m not adventurous enough.

I’m sitting on the walklet eating a slice of potato-pesto, when a dude in a burgundy robe wanders into traffic and attempts to pluck an antenna topper off a moving automobile. He misses, the car bumps him and he spins across the double yellow lines and into another moving car. He bounces off that one, finds his footing, regains his composure, mutters some swears and then goes back to bumming cigarettes from patrons at Revolution:

Note that he is wielding a bright-blue broomstick for some reason.

The Bay Citizen reports:

And now, after blog comments about spitting and vague word of tire-slashing, Blue Bottle owner James Freeman said that he has decided not to drive his trailer into the park at all.

“I don’t need this controversy,” Freeman said. His main issue, what to do with the four employees hired to operate the coffee truck, which was permitted for daily operation for two years, has been happily resolved, as the employees will be distributed throughout other Blue Bottle locations and catering operations.

Blog comments about spitting and tire-slashing? Classy. Mission Mission commenters, thanks for not being those kinds of commenters. Read on.
