Mission Mission

Wow, look at that soup. I can’t believe I biked right past and didn’t go in. Fortunately, Jesse went in and took lots of great pictures. Full report here. I’m glad Elizabeth’s fortune cookie fortunes made the grade, and I fully support the Jew-food idea.

Johnny0 was there too, and he also paid a visit to the operation’s former corner afterward. Link.

Stay tuned to Mission Street Food for weekly updates.

Wait, there was a shrine to Buddy Holly the other night? Pics please.

Plug1 saw some shit last night Tuesday night:

The police were chasing 2 streakers thru Dolores park, one had no on 8 on his chest, the other had the obama logo. Unfortunately, I left the camera in the car and have no pictures.

Anybody not leave the camera in the car?

Walter says:

Was at Muddy’s around 10 AM yesterday and sat next to Chuck D. Yes, Public Enemy Chuck D. At Muddys. I was in disbelief, but after he asked me to watch his laptop (a Mac) while he got a cup of coffee, I confirmed. Any other Chuck sightings in the Mission?

Amid all the street parties and other hubbub of the last few days, I neglected to mention a personal milestone I reached over the weekend. For years I’ve been walking down that really cute block of Lexington and reminding myself to someday have a dance party under the disco ball.

On Saturday, I did it, kind of. Really, I just played some music on my phone and cut the rug for a few minutes while my companions waited more or less patiently. But, it was fun.

Means carnitas burrito for breakfast!

Many machines on lx, in a post titled The Mission kids love Obama, notes:

The kids are anywhere from 8 to 14; enthusiasm is uniform.  Their schools did polls and he won with numbers like 451-30.  They wear Obama t-shirts, stickers on their cheeks.  They quiz every adult in sight to make sure they voted the right way.

I remember being really excited about Michael Dukakis when I was 7, but I have a feeling this is different.

Meanwhile, over in the Castro, Carlos Reyes saw the outgoing president burned in effigy. Lots more pictures here.
