Mission Mission

Schlomo today posted a quick video depicting the Banh Mi Cart staff hard at work perfecting their sandwich recipes. Their secret? They went to Saigon Sandwich and got some of the real thing to study. Link.

If you haven’t been to the Secret Alley yet, check it out. They’ve got skate ramps and an artifical grassy knoll, and even their bathroom is full of interesting stuff, like this book. Photo by Penelope Popsicle.

Well, it’s too late now, but today’s special at Mission Burger was bacon-fried chicken. So, uh, keep in mind they have specials. Like bacon-fried chicken.

Aaron Mayfield-Sunshine texted me this question, as well as the answer early yesterday evening: “[I]t’d be pink, there’d be a pickled carrot, the bottle would be made of lace.” Sold!

Reader Kati J. sends us this interesting bit: “Found on Potrero by the skate park. Naked black (pantyhose) man left for dead face down in the street.”

“Would tagging it a hate crime be wrong?”

I sure hope not.

The Chili Bowl was an incredible way to squander away a Saturday afternoon: water balloons full of beer, a blood geyser coming out of a guy’s head, filthy jokes from the announcers, a punk band playing awesome songs like “you are dead, motherfucker” and “crack on Mission St.” within a few dozen yards of a playground full of children, and, of course, skateboarding.  This is definitely my kind of place.

If anyone doubted Allan’s recommendation of the park, you need to check Potrero del Sol out.  It is like Dolores Park, only it’s not full of trash, dead grass, cops, it doesn’t smell like urine, and there is actually interesting shit going on.  It even has its own miniature hipster hill, affectionately known as “lurker hill” by the announcers, where one can flaunt their keen sense of retro bicycle-parts aesthetic and complete apathy towards skateboarding while unfettering, drinking  and carousing.

Anyways, I shot some SICK phone-video of the competition.  Sadly, my camera does not have a fisheye lens and I still know nothing about making skateboarding videos.  Bon appetit.

PROTIP: If you are coming down off your smack high and you want to take a little snooze on one of the filthiest sidewalks in the city, leave your shirt on.  If you must take your shirt off, let your dermatologist know you’ll be stopping by later.
