Mission Mission

Mission Bikes opens its new shop on Valencia today. Says our good buddy Monty:

They’re going to have beer and vegan food n’ stuff.

They’re definitely legitimate. I wrenched for 4 years before moving to the yay and helped them out when they were forming. They’re running a pretty solid operation these days.

Dolores Park View was dazzled along with other attendees at a planning meeting at which final(ish?) designs were revealed. Important things to note: “Super Slide” and “natural boulders.” Wicked! Check it all out here.

Saturday 18 Reasons hosts an art opening and scavenger hunt. Among the artists featured is Mission Mission pal Ariel Dovas (eviloars on Flickr) who says, “The basics are that you hang out with some art, then you buy maps to go hunting for other art hidden around the neighborhood. Guaranteed to be awesome.”

And if that’s not enough to sell you, have a look at this KQED account of a previous 18 Reasons scavenger hunt event, complete with pictures and play by play:

(Thanks, Ariel! Thanks, Emmanuel!)

I mean, if this whole episode was some kind of elaborate witness protection relocation thing, sorry for blowing the whistle. But if not, at the very least, these two are clearly related, so what’s the story?

SF Appeal just put up a video catching us up on drama in the local fire art scene:

Has somebody told Jaime that if he got on Twitter suddenly people would be lined up around the block for some jello?

Thanks, Mai!

Stopped by the Spanish/English Energizer Station this morning, didn’t see a lot of Spanish going on, but Meli said there’d been a bit. More importantly, they had three varieties of Dynamo Donuts donuts, of which I tried 100%.

This evening, I plan to stop by the Chinese/English Energizer Station in Chinatown, which is being staffed by our friend Pauline. Pauline’s been practicing her spiel all day, so it’ll be good.

Also, there’s the Bike Away From Work Party & Fashion Show at Rickshaw Stop at 6. It promises to feature: “Sexy cyclists strutting the lastest in urban biking style!”

If you’re like me and you think these pictures are cool, you might want to check out Art 4 Charity Gallery this evening. On display will be stuff like this by artist and gallery runner Debra Reabock, to eat you’ll find tapas and wine, and all proceeds go to International Green Shield, an organization dedicated to preventing natural disasters.
