Mission Mission

Reader Chris was on a cellphone safari when he peeped this.

I wanted to get closer, but was afraid of crossing the event horizon and falling in.

ZING!

This event is not in the Mission but I kinda like the poster so I’m posting it up anyways.  From some reason they made it absurdly difficult to find out what the hours of the event are (via the “you’re not good enough for bike culture” meme), but rumor has it that it is going on from 7-11pm.

Luckily they can make better food than signs.

MrEricSir brings us news that Malai Thai is closed up through the end of the month.  Worst of all, the sign failed to tell us why.  My brain tells me it is for remodeling, but my heart knows it is because the owners want to be the next people to jump on the “let’s open a mediocre pizza place around Valencia Street” train.   OH WHAT IT’S TRUE.

Farts basically act as a perfume at 16th and Mission, so don't hate.

From “Senor Hair”:

New (at least to me) signage in a storefront window on Mission @ 16th. I guess somebody’s looking to clean up the neighborhood. Let’s hear it for modest starts.

I know this is hella old news, but it was hard for me to get all pumped to post about cupcakes when I was all fevery n’ stuff.  But yeah, apparently these vegan suckers took first place at the last SF Food Wars and they look reasonably edible.  Blue ribbon baker Cinnaholic has even published the recipe so you can attempt to imitate greatness at home.

(hat tip vegansaurus!)

This nugget of win just came screaming into my inbox.

In response to the Magic Curry Kart starting a new Vietnamese porridge venture:

fuck white crackers with their start business loans and white cracker investors appropriating third world food and selling it on the streets to white crackers in sf and getting published in magazines and all you white yuppie/hipster cracker asses praising their bland ass versions in your yelp reviews and shitty cracker blogs. fuck you chef.

I know I’ve already gushed about TCB Courier, but their new commercial is killer.  Fixies, grabbing a pizza box while riding, diving into Bender’s to deliver said pizza and the whole production is topped off with some badass metal music.

This t shirt has nothing to do with the Mission but everything to do with being awesome.

I figure if I can still unironically enjoy Biggie’s “Mo Money, Mo Problems,” I can link to a 5-year-old interview with my new favorite sticker artist (via Wooster Collective):

What is your favorite thing to do on your day off from work?: art or sex, but even though I don’t have a job right now, I still don’t seem to do either as much as I’d like.
What is your favorite color?: green or purple or something.
Who (or what) do you love?: idiot art, copyright infringement, music, efficient public transportation, soul sistas, Mary Hopkin, vandalism, my friends, etc. I don’t actually love: fascism, racial profiling, police brutality, prison labor.
What other talent would most like to have? I’d like to be able to interact normally with other people and/or play the piano hella good.
