Mission Mission

The word on the street is that Mission Minis, the golf-cart delivering organic cupcake bakers, will be opening up a retail store at 3168 22nd Street (between Capp and Mission).  I tried to reach them by phone to corroborate and get more details, but they are treating me like a drunk girl from the bar and not returning my calls.  Tears.  (link)

UPDATE: Mission Minis owner, Brandon, just gave us a shout.  They are aiming to open October 1st (permits willing) and they’ll be selling about 8 flavors a day, almost all for a $1.  They even have vegan and gluten-free flavors, including a vegan banana cake / maple glaze that SOUNDS AMAZING.

I want to know why there isn’t an indicator for “baby will get light buzz”?

(Found at the 23rd and Mission Walgreens – Thanks Laura!)

The skyline from Dolores Park was off the hook yesterday.  Luckily Potential Past was on the scene so you don’t have to look at my crappy cellphone pictures.

If you like art and walking into stranger’s homes, then this event is for you:

Home is something I carry with me features over forty local artists whose work interrogates the concept of home. For one weekend, two homes in San Francisco’s Mission District will transform into exhibition spaces and the backyard of a third home will be used for an outdoor film screening. By reinventing three homes as art venues and opening them to the public, Home is something I carry with me exercises the rights of renters to use private residences for what we deem public good; an action that can be considered a resistance to the current housing crisis and the lack of economic sustainability for artists. Individual rooms within the homes will act as galleries organizing the work around themes of shelter, migrations, domestic space and memory, mapping, borders and neighborhoods.

Opening: Friday, September 4, 4-8 p.m. @ 3352 24th Street and 951 Shotwell Street
Film screening: Friday, September 4, 9 p.m. @ 348 Shotwell Street
Open Houses: Saturday, September 5, 12-5 p.m. @ 3352 24th Street and 951 Shotwell Street

Previously on Mission Mission:

• Dorks rule

A commenter recently reminisced “anyone remember those hardcore punk shows at the 16th St BART summer of 99? things sure were cooler then…”

Apparently the Mission is still cool.  MrEricSir brings us an on-the-ground iPhone report of the scene last night.  Most importantly, the microphone was engineered out of a can of PBR.

Authenticity win

Last week I wanted to know how plug1′s pigeon photo turned out.  Now we know.
