Mission Mission

Not doing anything tonight? Why not celebrate Tamale Lady’s birthday and help save KUSF, all within the comfort of Zeitgeist’s beer garden? There will be jug band tunes, movie screenings, and a $10 donation gets you all-you-can-drink beer, birthday cake, and Tamale Lady’s homemade chicken mole and pasta salad.

The contents of a Walgreens bag-shaped piñata? Quick everyone, free goodies! When I biked past this morning, the football purse was still up for grabs.

So glad to see the Hideout supporting our premiere local distillery, which named it’s flagship gin after famous settler and inventor of the Mission, Juniperio Sierria.

Someone just got shot at Mission & Fair. It happened pretty fast. I was across the street and thought it was a backfire until I saw a guy hopping away being helped by friends. It may have been a drive-by but I’m really not sure.

The good news was the cops were there in under a minute, and a pretty impressive response. Pictures below (sorry they are so light streaky but I had just ordered pupusas).

Kimberly wonders what was going on last night (Friday):

Last night, my friend and I were at 18th & Mission around 10:15 or so. Dude runs past – you always wonder why they’re running – he’s followed by a dude who shouts “I can keep running all night!” (Clearly it’s a cop in street clothes) Then the ENTIRE block is shut down by, like, 15 or 20 cop cars. No reports on it this morning. We almost got run over by a cop while crossing the street to get away.

Anyone have any additional info?

The sun is back, people.

They said they would, and now they did.  These pictures don’t necessarily address the scope of the area covered, but they give you and idea of what the park will look like for the next few months.

Oh yeah, and free coffee.

Spotted at Little Star.  Perhaps the Egg Bandit has moved across the street?

YesYesYes is a ripping new SF arts and culture magazine that is throwing a benefit show tonight at The Knockout at 9pm to raise funds to roll out their latest issue. The set list includes Lilac, Lemon Pretend, Tint, and Dj’s Lariq, and William Keihn, and sliding scale admission starts at $5 with all funds going to benefit the magazine. This is a great chance to check out some cool bands while supporting a new local publisher — they’ve already earned 75% of their Kickstarter goal and the deadline is this Saturday, so check it out if you can!
