Mission Mission

Not Giants; giants. (Actually this is pretty close to Mission Cliffs… How many climbers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?)

(Thanks, Stinky!)

Ok, so this is meme-y, but it was filmed in Four Barrel:

While we’re on the subject of coffee snobbery, anyone know how to get cafe-quality microfoam at home without dropping $500 on equipment? I wanna pour me some latte demon spawns.

It’s been a month since Parks and Rec‘s Ron Swanson was found to be modeled after famed Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa.

Last night on my walk home from work I captured evidence in nearby Potrero of what I have long believed to be a tree containing the soul of sad Homer Simpson, from Television’s The Simpsons.

I don’t know, he looks pretty unpleasant. Maybe you should let this one go.

Local comedian Melanie O’Brien explains:

You’ve heard of all female comedy shows, right? Well eff that s!!! This is the shocking opposite. That’s right, AN ALL MALE COMEDY SHOW, hosted by the ultimate woman’s woman, Melanie O’Brien. This testosterone packed line-up features local Bay Area comedians who will have you laughing so hard, you’ll be like “women, who?” Just kidding.

Line-up:
Ivan Hernandez
Joe Gorman
Miles K
Chris Thayer
Trevor Hill
and headliner, Chris Garcia

Progress!

Ha!

This guy Drew just published an essay called “I Got So Sober Last Night, Dude.” Here’s an excerpt:

Yeah, I’m so awake today, dude. I haven’t been this awake since that last time we got all sober on that one Wednesday. Yeah, man, remember that? That one in April? You came home at a moderate hour and were like, “man, I might catch up on my DVR tonight.” And then I was all, “cool, I’m pretty tired and might just fall asleep about three quarters of the way into a documentary on Netflix.” We got crazy sober that night and were like, “NEVER again!” Guess what? BOOM. Blew that one.

Read on for the full rundown. I can tell this is funny, but I’m not sure I totally relate. I usually get drunk when watching documentaries on Netflix.

Pricey, sure, but a portion of the ticket price is tax deductible since The Roxie is a nonprofit! Here’s the deal:

Miss Sedaris will be on hand to discuss her 2010 book, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People. She’ll participate in a question-and-answer session with the audience, sign books & posters, make some crafts, and generally conduct herself in as charming and effervescent a manner as you might expect.

More info and tickets here.

From their Kickstarter page (which also contains an entertaining video filled with lots more salient info):

Killing My Lobster has finally found the perfect location to build a premier  theater space. A project which brings to an end 15 years of wandering from theater rental to theater rental. The space resides in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission district on 24th and Mission St.

The new venue would be a creative hub to hundreds of artists including actors, writers, choreographers, musicians, stand-up comedians and whoever else requires a theater for their production. Killing My Lobster also needs a versatile work space to allow them to expand the classes they make available to the community.

But the clock is ticking, as KML must acquire enough funds to secure the lease and move-in overhead in the next 2 months. And our goal is to have the theater operational by February of 2012 for a show celebrating our 15th birthday (February 14th, 1997).

There are eight days left in this initial campaign, and they’ve only got a few hundred dollars left to go, but they’ll need all the help they can get as this initial campaign is only gonna raise a fraction of the total amount they’ll need to open in early 2012 as planned. If you donate to the cause, you get to choose from a variety of rewards. Have a look.

Maybe, but maybe not, because this is pretty entertaining:
