Mission Mission

With this melancholy motivational poster, artist Zoë Banks articulates what we all know to be an essential Mission truth.

P.S. Dolores Park, you’re perfect, oh please don’t change a thing.

Reader thomass has some thoughts on the matter:

Babes in this city need to get more like New York babes. Babes in New York to guys are the way guys are to guys here, I like that. I know this is a gay city and all but straight girls have gotta get the bear-esque attitude NYC girls have.

I’m not sure what he means, but I like the sounds of it. I think.

Our buddy Mike Chino spotted this sexy little love note right out front San Jalisco (formerly Los Jarritos). No stopping. Don’t stop. Don’t stop, Daddy.

Jane over at Janebook was the victim of a legit sex crime the other night, but at least she managed to pull a great blog entry out of the ordeal. It starts with this screen shot of a Facebook conversation:

And after that, she charts “types of dick exposure from least classy to classiest.” Read on if you’re dying to know where N-Judah dick ranks. (No Greg Dewar jokes, please.)

Photographer Jason Schlachet (of the Ohio Schlachets) has some thoughts on why “the kiss” is such a special sub-genre of street photography:

[I]t’s tricky to get right since you need to be close up, focusing, and yet not interrupting (or even be noticed during) the moment.

Read the rest, and see the above kiss (at 16th and Valencia) in its entirety, here.

Tonight at Gravel & Gold, the first in a series of sex talks by the shop’s resident sexpert Nile Nash. Tonight’s talk is about anatomy and contraception, the next one will be about pregnancy, and the last one will teach you how to bang good. I’m looking forward to that one.

The event appears to be free, and includes refreshments. Details here.

Today’s They Might Be Giants show in Stern Grove turned epic when Flansburgh dedicated a song to “Nick, who has a very important question for Kat.” Luckily for me, Nick and Kat were standing right next to me, and luckily for them, I am a blogger with a camera.

So Nick got down on one knee and produced a serious rock, the band launched into “New York City,” Kat accepted, and everyone around them cheered and wept!

TMBG are Kat’s favorite band of all time btw, so this was definitely the best proposal of all time. (And how exactly did Nick swing it? You’ll have to ask Nick.)

Best wishes, you guys!

Too bad.  I wanted to go party at the Cafe in the Castro again tonight!  As did these guys, who were the first in line to be married at City Hall had the most hotly anticipated decision since Lebron’s produced the result we and Glenn Beck were all hoping for.

Looks like we’ll have to wait until next week to see what’s up . . .

Looks like this place has a spot opening up!  Who wants to call Jim for details?

Read it bigger.

(Thanks Cranky Old Mission Guy!)
