Mission Mission

Vicki here had an epic stumble home from Dolores Park this evening. Luckily, her buddy Carlos Reyes was there to document some highlights.

Seriously, though. What’s more fun than a nice stumble through the neighborhood on a warm summer evening after a pleasant chill-out in the park with good friends?

So was this the result of some kind of emergency? Or did somebody just forget to do their job?

Also… dibs!

[S]ee how they look like Gypsy caves when the sun hits them just so?

Yes! Party in the gypsy caves!

I’m totally using that next time I get invited to a party in that neighborhood. (I know, that probably means never.)

Says our buddy Kerry in a recent Facebook post:

Check out (and buy) these awesome kits my friend Britta invented and sells! You can grow a hydroponic garden from recycled water bottles plus they look really awesome hanging in a line in your window. Also if you know of any investors, tell them, so Britta can really get this project going next-level-style.

The Windowfarms Project website is pretty fun to look at, so do visit it, and perhaps buy a kit as well.

Vélo Vogue just published an interview with Taco Bike Timmy. Asked if he has any wild Dolores Park stories, he answers:

Wow, many, but my favorite was the 20 year old guy who walked up, ordered two tacos and then proceeded to take out a whip-it cartridge and cracker. He cracked and huffed right in front of me. When I asked if he wanted sour cream he responded with that very deep, sluggish voice “hell yeah man”! Almost pissed myself.

Read on. (But beware the crazy angles of all the photography; I forgot to pop a Dramamine and now I’m all dizzy.)

The press release lists a bunch of bands that are playing and then says:

PLUS a special, secret headliner!!! We can’t tell you who they are just yet, but there’s a pretty good chance you bought their new album from us… and their shows are usually at places a bit bigger than the DuNord… and they’re on the poppier, sunshinier side of things… huge faves here.

Girls? Foot Village? Third Eye Blind? Brian Wilson? Who will it beeeeeee?

$10 advance tickets are for sale now at Aquarius and Cafe du Nord.

You’re not reading Hippy Kitchens on a regular basis? Then you’re missing out on photos like this one and tons more. And I bet some of our parents are in there somewhere, right?

You’re welcome.

The nice folks over at The Bay Bridged have put together a couple of mixtapes highlighting artists at this year’s Treasure Island Music Festival, which takes place this coming weekend. They’ve got a mixtape for Saturday (which is the electronic-themed day headlined by LCD Soundsystem) and a mixtape for Sunday (which is the indie-rock-themed day headlined by Belle & Sebastian).

So if you’re still undecided, you might want to give these bad boyz a listen and see if this fest is really worth the price of admission. (Or, at the very least, here’s some nice free music for you.)

CONTEST: Win Treasure Island Music Festival Tickets (Contest is now closed, but the entries are a fun read.)

Reader thomass has some thoughts on the matter:

Babes in this city need to get more like New York babes. Babes in New York to guys are the way guys are to guys here, I like that. I know this is a gay city and all but straight girls have gotta get the bear-esque attitude NYC girls have.

I’m not sure what he means, but I like the sounds of it. I think.
