Mission Mission

Z Space, your favorite big ol’ cavernous performing arts center in the Mission, is bringing back Z Dating Game:

The premise is simple: a woman asks questions of three bachelors, who are all vying for her affection. She chooses one, and they go happily off into the sunset. A second round reverses things, and a gentleman is paired with three bachelorettes.

Inspired by the success of the first Z Dating Game last July, the show brings together eligible bachelors and bachelorettes from the neighborhood as contestants. Says one of the producers, Jack Morse, “we took a great format and added booze and profanity— it’s hilarious, and particularly well suited to the stage.” According to Morse, “the beauty of the thing really is the contestants. There’s no script, everything is on the fly, and when you throw a bunch of hot twenty/thirty-somethings together in that format it is pretty much the most ridiculous thing ever.”

Hosted by local comedian Rob Ready of PianoFight (the dudes that brought you “Merry Forking Christmas” and “Duck Lake”), the show is all but guaranteed to rock. Music guests Dan and Dave Burke also grace the stage to play the greatest love songs ever written.

Here’s the deal:

Its time for 2nd annual Chicken Wing Eating Contest, brought to you by Wing Wings and PBR! We hope to have a lot of fun and also raise money through donations and a raffle for a great cause. This year’s contest will benefit Casa De Los Madres, a San Francisco non-profit which offers shelter, advocacy and support services to women, teens, and children exposed to and at risk of abuse and domestic violence. Chuy Gomez, radio host and Bay Area legend, and Greg Miller, aka Game Over Greggy of IGN will host the event and tunes will be brought to you by DJs Doc Fu and DJ Pause.

The contest will take place on Saturday, December 14th, from 1pm-5pm at El Rio, at 3158 Mission Street, with a $5 suggested donation at the door. There will be 2 competition: a timed event to see who can eat the most chicken wings in 10 minutes, and a Hella Hot competition, to see who can eat 10 hella hot wings the fastest- winners will win a prestigious trophy to display on their mantle, not to mention bragging rights for the next year.

This afternoon/evening from 4-7pm Prensa POBRE/POOR Magazine is hosting an event at 2940 16th Street to support locals who have been evicted, displaced or otherwise affected by the ongoing overvaluation of San Francisco property. The event will feature performances by a puppet theater, engaging activist Fly Benzo (a local rapper from Hunters Point, whom I have worked with before) and a reading from Born N’ Raised in Frisco, a book compiled and workshopped in part by Lisa “Tiny” Gray-Garcia and Tony Robles. Art will be available to purchase, and there will be food offered at a sliding scale.

Check it out. Discuss, debate, plan and proceed.
