Mission Mission

They’ll be at FIFTY24SF at 4pm apparently (before heading to their sold out headlining gig at the Regency later tonight). High on Gold reports:

The group will be presenting a special, one-night only installation to coincide with their tour stop in San Francisco in support of their newest LP, TEN$ION. In addition to the installation, Die Antwoord will be presenting and releasing a special collector’s vinyl sculpture of Evil Boy, made in collaboration with Good Smile Company. Select vinyl pieces will be hand-detailed on by Die Antwoord’s Ninja. [link]

Will this optical illusion be the one that finally unseats “Old-lady-with-cartoonishly-large-nose-or-comely-lass-looking-away“? I think so. Snatch it up before it becomes the next classic.

Strewth, innit.

Today’s filthy update brought to you as the first installment of the new DOA (Daily Osage Alley) series, previously mentioned here. Stay tuned for more daily doses of innovate couch use, mountains of banana peels, and piles of broken dice from one of the Mission’s lesser known waste strewn alleys.

Check out Rinee Shah‘s new art show, appropriately opening at kitchen supply boutique Pot + Pantry. All artwork is of food items from the popular TV show Seinfeld, “Junior mints, chocolate babka, black and white cookie, and more!”

For added laughs come dressed as the Soup Nazi or Kramer or something!

Thursday, Feb 16th 7-9pm – 593 Guerrero Street near 18th.

I haven’t been to an art show in quite a while (I know, Philistine), but this stuff caught my eye enough to make me want to check it out tomorrow! I’m always a sucker for mesmerizing line formations and outdated textbooks (I found a Creationist Biology one from the 80s once…oh man), and these two interests will both be on display in fine fashion over at Gallery Hijinks this Saturday from 6-10pm.

Check out all the details here.

Killer street art!

Illustrator Wendy MacNaughton talked to some Mission bartenders about what it’s like being a Mission bartender, and then produced a lovely feature complete with sketches, portraits, graphs, charts and more. Read it.
