Mission Mission

Trick Dog Beardy Guy – w4m – 29 (mission district)

We chatted about taxi apps and then my friend summoned me quickly, into a cab. I wanted to stay for that drink!

Aww!

Our pal Erik decided to celebrate Pi Day with his own take on the now-famous Valentine’s Ride turned Verizon commercial for his wife Shelley, and the result is predictably awesome.  The only way this could be even better is if he traveled 3.1415626 miles to make it!

“Sure honey, I’ll give you a ride to work, and I’ll even do all the pedaling so you don’t get that cute outfit of yours all sweaty.”

If that’s not true love, I don’t even want to know what is anymore.

Overheard on 17th and Valencia: “he was, like, ejaculating on my furniture.” #sick

Dandelion is the new chocolate shop on Valencia. This Valentine’s Day, they’re doing something fun:

On Valentines day from 12pm to 5pm, Pam DeLuco from Shotwell Paper Mill (www.shotwellpapermill.com) will be offering free to the public the opportunity to letterpress print valentine cards on paper made from recycled Dandelion cacao sacks. Each person can add to the phrase: “I love it when….”

Dandelion will have Valentine boxes and treats inside the store.

Cute! More info here.

P.S. Valentine’s Day just happens to be Mission Mission’s anniversary too, so feel free to make us a Valentine

Here’s what it’s like, as reported by unfrozenhous3wife:

“I want to take you on a date …to Delirium …right now.”

Beautiful girl at the trash fire – m4w – 28 (mission district)

You were a short girl who kinda looked like Lizzy Caplan but way hotter.

I was the blond dude who hauled a trash bin to the fire.

We waxed and waned over the risk of peoples Giants flags catching fire and the joys of low altitude fireworks.

I lost you after the cops rolled through and I didn’t have a chance to say this but you are super fucking cute.

Gorgeous doe eyes and the ability to enjoy a street party without being a Bro-Ho, mmm. Awesome.

I just feel like the world needs to know.

A young man (who wishes to remain anonymous for now) wrote in with a romantic conundrum. He encountered a very special babe a couple weeks back and failed to make a move. Rather than go to usual Missed Connections route, he drew us this haunting portrait and asked that we publish it with the following message:

Who goes to the movies alone on a Tuesday afternoon? Especially, to the Opera Plaza, exclusive destination of retirees. Apparently though, this knockout goes too, and pays in exact change. If you’re out there, I really wish I’d had the guts to introduce myself. This drawing bears almost no resemblance, but the red cardigan is accurate.

Best of luck, lovebirds! (Feel free to contact us if you’re the babe.)
