Mission Mission

Coke down. Bummer, dude. He was really calm about it, just getting them back up. He didn’t want any help. In his defense, I’ve seen this happen before to other people at this exact corner.

The Creme Brulee Man is currently in Dolores Park posing for photographers so internet can jizz all over itself tomorrow.

Spotted yesterday by reader Kate B. near 20th and Valencia. Thanks, Kate!

Saved! This wall is diligently buffed, but this time somebody decided to save it. Not sure who made the call, but it’s pretty neat.

Yesterday I sacrificed all my vegan street cred and opted to get my seitan fix at Weird Fish instead of Bender’s.  Turns out they do not sell Buffalo Trannies anymore.  WHAT GIVES?  They didn’t even have a 6’8″ guy puking in the bathroom covered in empty PBR cans.  Bender’s is still king.

Speaking of Bender’s, I really like the idea of stuffing my face with some fried yo-yos right now.

Plug1 of WHATIMSEEING DOT COM captured this colorful shot of possibly my favorite new phenomenon. SO? What do we think!? Doesn’t cause property damage, gives new life to old discarded objects, brightens up a dreary phone pole. Home owners? Business owners? Haters? Lovers? Where do we stand?

Mission Street Food just posted a special notice regarding tonight’s dinner:

lots of vegetarian substitutions available, which we didn’t post before, so it’s a good night for veggies

A photo of some cool kid wearing the all-new Dolores Chiller from Timbuk2 has caused quite a stir in the comments section of a Bikes and the City feature on last weekend’s Sunday Streets event in the Mission. Sample vitriol:

These obnoxious hipsters are ruining our neighborhood with their “pay to play” ironic bullshit. I’m begging you to go elsewhere and leave us locals out of your fantasy land.

Link. Feel free not to contribute to the extremely tired, everlasting debate about hipsterism.

In any case, the all-new Dolores Chiller from Timbuk2 is an absolute delight! Looks like a messenger bag, performs like an ice chest! (I’m on the wagon right now, so I’ve yet to actually use it to haul PBR or MHL to the park for a picnic, but it totally kept my Very Berry Crystal Geyser cold the other day.) It’s fully insulated and seals up nice and tight, and even has a built-in bottle opener (affording me a lighter load on the keyring I keep carabinered to the outside of my pants).

Note that it also functions the way a traditional messenger bag functions: You can put books and sweatshirts and other dry goods in it and use it to transport them around town. And what a color scheme! Perhaps most importantly, the company had the presence of mind to name such a highly useful — and thoroughly handsome — item after the undisputed best place in the entire world ever, Dolores Park. Kudos to Timbuk2 on a job well done. Click here to view the product page for the all-new Dolores Chiller from Timbuk2.
