Sexy Sex Lunch

Christina Amini from Chronicle Books wants to have lunch with us:

Now, I’m the editor of The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex and I love my author Kristen Schaal (Mel from Flight of the Conchords), and want to make sure that as many MissionMission fans as possible come on over. There will be food. There will be books. There might be boobs.

Sexy sex lunch! From noon to 1pm, Kristen will sign books and say hi to you, and there will be food. Chronicle is at 680 2nd Street down near the ballpark.

Judd Apatow Thing

Bay Citizen just published a piece on Judd Apatow’s new book, a humor collection that features some cartoons like the above and benefits 826. Here the filmmaker discusses his involvement with the popular charity:

I help out raising money for 826 LA. Last year, we did a big benefit that was a parody of benefits. We paid tribute to Seth Rogen for the charity work he had not done yet. and had all these big stars paying tribute to him. It was $10,000 a table but we served Kentucky Fried Chicken and Red Bull.

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."

— My pal Valerie, writing about life in the Mission
