Mission Mission

Andy B. says:

awesome BMX stack outside katz bagels/pizza last night [...] That guy in the green jacket is one of the bikers. most of the crew was inside eating pizza. he explained that nobody carries a lock and the stack is an effective theft deterrent.

This would probably work with MacBooks too, right? Let’s try!

Thanks, Andy!

Brainslip this week invited some bros to provide a rundown of the Mission. Here’s what they had to say about Medjool:

Dude, sit down for this one. It’s a fucking rooftop bar with kick ass views of downtown. What more do you want, bro?

Everyday Photos has the scoop. Now all they need is a homemade Nike Beer Cozy.

The art of cellphone photography has just been taken to the next level. My Broken Berry is nothing but photos from somebody’s busted BlackBerry, and each one is trippier and more distorted than the last. Pretty colors, mangled scenes, incredibly low resolution… what more could a cellphone photography fan ask for?

Since news of the forthcoming Commonwealth and changes at Mission Burger broke, the question loomed: Will MSF continue to exist?

The answer is: Probably, but not until after an indefinite hiatus. Mission Street Food as we know it is closing up shop after Saturday’s performance. They are, however, going out with a bang. Chef Anthony bids us adieu:

I speak on behalf of the entire staff when I say it’s been a pleasure serving you and getting to know you. Thanks for your enthusiasm, patience and support. We intend to eventually start MSF up again in some capacity and hope to see you again then, but for now, come by for one last PB & J or MSF Rice, or come try your first Chinito or Squid & Marrow – the new classics.

Read on for the full menu and more from Anthony.

Photos by Jesse Friedman.

Hi-Fructose has a big photo essay up about how a gang of pixelated alien beings (possibly led by artist Jesse Hazelip) applied this work of art to this wall in Berkeley. Read all about it.

Buffalo/B-17 Mashup

Whoa! Two San Francisco artists we love love love are included in some kind of exhibition of drawings at some gallery in Zürich!

First there’s Maria Forde, whom you’ll remember from those rad t-shirts she does for Lost Weekend Video.

Then there’s Porous Walker, whom you’ll remember from THE MAVERICKS OF DIARRHEA.

The show is called “Home Party,” and it’s at Barbara Seiler Galerie through July 17. Stop by if you’re in the neighborhood!

Last week I wrote a mean-spirited post about wearing your keys on the outside of your pants.

The silver lining was that it made local artist Anna recall a book she made a while back. The next day, she posted some scans.

P.S. Anna, you should turn this into a blog. It’ll be huge!

Happy Memorial Day, everybody! Now that it’s officially summer, we thought we’d take this opportunity to remind you that the OFFICIAL SUMMER JAMZ OF 2010 are:

Gonna Find Boyfriends Today by Myles Cooper USA (right)

and

Cover Me In Diamonds by California Sunshine (left)

The former is a straight-up SEXY SUMMER JAM. The latter is more of a come-down song, for the sexy after the barbecue. Both are BONA FIDE HITZZ! Rock them all summer long if u want!!!!
