Mission Mission

Don’t ask me, I just work here snapped this sad scene over the weekend.

From the Caffeinated Comics newsletter:

KARAOKE returns tonight. Come join us from 5:00 to 9:00.  It is kid friendly and lots of fun.

And now we’re on the sidewalk at 16th and Mission.”

Airfix Kits are one of my favorite Bay Area bands ever, and tonight they’re playing at Pissed Off Pete’s, some weird dive bar on Mission out in the Excelsior. I’ve passed it a million times on the way to the Broken Record, and admired their signage, but never thought anything cool would ever happen there. The Shitty Limits sound pretty good too.

Burrito Justice wins the internet. Again. See it frame by frame here.

P.S. If you’re not reading GIF Party, you’re not living life.

Says Jeremiah Maller the photographer:

I instantly fell in love with the Mission neighborhood when I moved to San Francisco about two years ago. When I recently moved to the Mission (3 months ago) I started documenting the people I run into on the street. See the results in the Mission Faces gallery [here].

What a document! Nice faces, y’all!

Mission Pie has a lot going on this weekend. Tomorrow morning they’re planting the sidewalk along the 25th Street side of the building, and then they’ll have a little celebration of the completion of that task as well as the completion of the mural out back. On Sunday afternoon, they invite everyone inside to celebrate the completion of the interior, and say a big thanks to the folks and firms that helped finish it up.

Complete details here.

Thanks, Ashleigh!

Thanks, eug!

Once again it’s time for my favorite quarterly activity, Ping Pong Happy Hour at Ping Pong Gallery! Ping pong, music and FREE TRUMER PILS as usual. Starts right at 5:00, ends at 8:00.

Tonight, we say goodbye to the Jetts (pictured), a ping pong duo beloved by all at the gallery, who are apparently moving on to bigger and better things.
