Worst Place to Take a First Date?

Clooney’s today made Hidden Host‘s new Worst Places to Take a First Date list. (Kudos, Clooney’s!)

Of the several locations on the list, Clooney’s is the only one in the Mission, which leads us to believe there might’ve been some glaring omissions. Aren’t there worse places in the neighborhood to take a first date than this place?

BYOBYOBWV (Bring Your Own Bring Your Own Big Wheel Video)

Unbeknownst to us, our partnership with VidSF is still going strong, and today it resulted in some coverage of the Bring Your Own Big Wheel party that Andrew mentioned earlier. Watch our very own Sunny Angulo’s report here.

SFist has a video too, here.

(Thanks, Sunny!)

I don’t want to get all political, but this captures the Mission experience just about right, right?

Battle Cry

Photographer Helena Price snapped this gem on Valentine’s Day, but waited until yesterday to publish it, probably because she needed six weeks to recover from the crippling rush of witnessing this epic scene in the flesh. So what happened? Did the little tyke conquer post-apocalyptic Western Europe or what?

Also, now we can say without a doubt that that mystery machine parked in the median out front of Zeitgeist a couple years ago was this guy’s WAR CHARIOT.

WAR CHARIOT!!

Monterrey: Mockinpott Rock!

One of my favorite photographers is this dude Jaime Martínez who takes a lot of low-res 3D pics and turns them into mesmerizing GIF animations. A couple weeks ago, Jaime attended MtyMx, a sort of anti-SXSW in Monterrey, and he’s been posting rad pictures ever since, including this shot of a Monterrey band called Mockinpott.

Mockinpott rules. They have kind of a Lost Sounds thing going on, and their label is giving away free digital downloads of all their records! Happy Easter!

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
