Mission Mission

Says our buddy Cleary:

This is the video that took first place in The Three Minute Picture Show film festival at the Victoria Theater last weekend.

No one can deny this isn’t a great film about 2 cats in love, trying to get into space.

Be forewarned: This song is great and infectious.  You’ll be humming it for a while after.

Be forewarned.

Today’s They Might Be Giants show in Stern Grove turned epic when Flansburgh dedicated a song to “Nick, who has a very important question for Kat.” Luckily for me, Nick and Kat were standing right next to me, and luckily for them, I am a blogger with a camera.

So Nick got down on one knee and produced a serious rock, the band launched into “New York City,” Kat accepted, and everyone around them cheered and wept!

TMBG are Kat’s favorite band of all time btw, so this was definitely the best proposal of all time. (And how exactly did Nick swing it? You’ll have to ask Nick.)

Best wishes, you guys!

This one is by artist Hayley Cassatt. Lots more here.

Because Kati J. wants to know what this means.

Ever wonder what it’s like to spend the summer in Olympia, Washington? I bet you have! And you’re in luck: Summer Olympian is here to tell you all about it.

Julian Casablancas, of Boombox fame, is seen here hanging at some gallery or museum or something right here in San Francisco. [link]

Anybody see him at Zeitgeist or Flour + Water or anything? And how was that Strokes show btw?

We Built This City spotted this duo in Oakland somewheres.

Joshua and Ashley, on a quest for parfait, ended up at St. Luke’s Hospital:

We went up to the cafeteria and found a gold mine of delicious food made to order at extremely cheap prices. This parfait fed the two of us for $1.53.

Yum! I wonder what other sweet deals are to be had up there.

I’d say read all about it over at SFist, but the whole world seems to be reading about it over on SFist, so SFist seems to be down at the moment. So, I’m reading about it on Twitter, before Twitter goes down.

This impressionist magic marker rendering of Dolores Park by Todd Berman gives me a tickle. It sort of feels more like the park than an actual picture of the park. And the original can be yours for just $65.
