Mission Mission

Last night at the corner of 22nd and Guerrero (and I guess this’ll teach me to hang out at the corner of 22nd and Guerrero) I stopped to take a picture of the moon and the clouds because as we learned earlier they looked totally gnar-gnar last night, when some motorist waiting at the light mistook me for a peeping Tom because I had my phone pointed vaguely toward some residential buildings:

“I SEE YOU! I SEE YOU YOU FUCKING PEEPING TOM! YOU FUCKING PERVERT! LOOK! HE’S PEEPING! HE’S PEEPING! FUCKING PERV! FUCKING PERVERT!”

So after that, I tried to peep on somebody, but all the windows in the vicinity were draped up tight. Tears.

Drewbot made this nice little micro-movie depicting the moon and the clouds as they looked from some corner on Guerrero last night. Link.

Bikes and the City was on the scene in the Mission yesterday eve, documented this fun feat.

Plebiscite today overcame his initial reluctance to try the fresh sandwiches newly on offer at his favorite liquor store, Rhea’s:

I cracked today. I went with JB (Korean steak sandwich), Kreftaub (Turkey, horseradish mayo, grilled onions), and Pete (grilled cheese + avocado). And it. was. delightful. Everything about it charmed my pants off. Good thing I wear so many fucking pants.

He goes on to enumerate the sandwiches’ charms. Link.

Chirpa disappeared Sunday night at 2am at 18th and Capp Street. We are very concerned for his well being and believe that he may have been stolen. He has medicine that he needs to take. Cash Reward for his safe return ASAP!

Capp Street! Facebook page.

Vandals strike again, this time befouling Her Majesty’s Secret Beekeeper‘s beautiful hand-painted sign. I guess that’ll teach local business owners to leave so much tempting white space up there for anyone to see. Link.

Which photo represents the true purest form of cycling? Sexpigeon has the answer.

This week on I Heart Street Art, I basically just talk about how much I like pineapple soda, and Mission Burger:

I Heart Street Art: Pineapple Palm Job

Because it “could be seen to sexualise a model who appeared to be a child.” American Apparel argues that the model is 23.

I know a girl who turns 23 tomorrow; she does not appear to be a child.

Poor American Apparel.
