Mission Mission

If you were too stoned to remember to get stoned and go to Mission Street Food on Saturday, Beer & Nosh had your back. A million glorious pictures here.

SFPD has released new specifics on the vehicle alleged to have mowed down a father-son cycling team on Valencia a while back. Says one of the victims:

We are on the lookout for a gray or silver SUV, probably a toyota or lexus, with a CA vanity plate containing a heart ♥ symbol in it (as in ” I ♥ RUNNING RED LIGHTS”).

Reader Marcomaniac revives the discussion:

It’s mid July and the place is still empty. In fact there have been several stores shutter in the past few months in this area. Hey Chicken, maybe you can do some good for our neighborhood and open up a store? Bring some vibrancy back to our area? We love your creativity. Are you ready to take on something new, or are you going to keep sitting on your ass?

Two of our favorite photographers in the world teamed up yesterday to shoot Mission Street. Mission Local had the resulting slide show up and at ‘em first thing this morning:

Sunday Mission Walk 7/12/09

Update: If you don’t care for slide shows, Plug1 has some straight-up shots right here.

On free cupcakes and champagne, even:

This afternoon from 1-5pm, there’s a party in Orange Alley. The fine folks at Receiver are hosting:

We’ll have the grills going as well (meato, non-meato), so bring something to char and/or to drink! [...]

Some reasons to come:

* Sunday will be the last weekend day to view Sarah Applebaum’s show “Soft Core”. Check it out before we take it down!
* Porous Walker (AKA Jimmy DiMarcellis) will be there painting up a mural.
* Kyle Ranson’s band, Pale Hoarse, will play a set.
* Charlie Callahan (that’s him up there working on his mural) might also be around playing some fine tunes.

Actually, this Saturday night (tomorrow), they’re going by Mission Stoned Food, and the menu, by guest chef Chris Ying, does something heretofore unprecedented in modern Mission cuisine — it brings together foie and Funyun.

It does lots more too. I personally plan to get as loaded as I’ve ever been and then shovel three orders of the Cypress Grove goat milk nacho cheese with hash browns into my face. For dessert, TERRINE OF CANDY BARS.

Read all about it.

Yeah, it’s a cat. He’s cute and partially blind and very dependent on his brother, from whom he’s been separated, by thieves. Keep your eyes peeled.
