Mission Mission

Aaaa! What am I supposed to do here?!

Mission Mistaken drops us this note about trashcans:

Lemons into lemon peels and all that.  I could only find two cans that I think are sufficiently groovy, and neither is easily ordered online.  But they are cool.

But I just think it would be good to put the word out there that for all the hoopla about the new rules, no one is offering stylish ways to conform.  I think it would be fun if you guys challenged your community of readers to be as inventive with this subject as they are with everything else.  Cause bottom line, saving food scraps in a special place is just nasty.  It sets you back 1000 years and smells and attracts pests and pets.

I’m not sure about a design contest, because I come from a land that burns our garbage, taunts it, and occasionally shoots at it, so I don’t really understand this liberal Gomorrah’s ritual around trash.  That said, if you know of some sufficiently groovy solutions to our government-mandated compost crisis, we’d sure be appreciative.

Sleep Hyphy, which might be the best wordpress account name ever created, has the scoop on these children picking up bottle caps in Dolores Park.

Speaking of hyphy, I was in Elbo Room not to long ago with a friend from the distant land of Oakland and the bartender, unprovoked, stated “hyphy is dead, dude.”  Just because your bar is the boil on the ass of Valencia St. doesn’t mean you can rain on other people’s parade, dude.

I love shit like this (props to the whale).

From Cranky Old Mission Guy:

CAMP seems to have forgotten the murals (and other street art) in favor of the amplified noise festival. That leaves it up to the locals to improve the view.

Reader Chris was on a cellphone safari when he peeped this.

I wanted to get closer, but was afraid of crossing the event horizon and falling in.

ZING!

This event is not in the Mission but I kinda like the poster so I’m posting it up anyways.  From some reason they made it absurdly difficult to find out what the hours of the event are (via the “you’re not good enough for bike culture” meme), but rumor has it that it is going on from 7-11pm.

Just in time for Halloween!
