Mission Mission

Tonight, a unique lit event at Mission Pie:

Join elementary students and teachers from 826 Valencia Street’s writing program for the next reading in a series: The Organic Word: Students and Teachers Writing Together to be held at the Mission Pie Café at 2901 Mission Street at 25th Street in San Francisco on Wednesday, March 18th from 5:00-7:00. This month’s reading will feature elementary school students and teachers reading ghost stories that they wrote in conjunction with 826 Valencia Street.

The powers that be at Pirate Cat Radio‘s Baghdad By The Bay program have decided to offer a $3 discount to Mission Mission readers attending their local band showcase tonight at Red Devil Lounge.

Just show up, identify yourself as a reader of Mission Mission, and your admittance will cost $7 instead of $10. See here for details (including audio and video) on all the bands involved.

Thanks, Rick!

Iron Davy spotted these down in Austin somewheres. (Beats #hotttsex, don’t it?)

Davy, for God’s sake, please tell me you’ve bought a bushel and’re gonna unload them on Valencia Street somewheres for $80 apiece.

Update: Davy just sent over waaay more pics. Thanks, Davy!

Ed Moy, Examiner.com‘s SF Asian American Film Examiner (really?) has the lowdown on a movie some dude made about Mission District legend Toshio Hirano. Link.

The film screens tonight as part of a shorts program at the San Francisco International Heavyweight Champion Asian American Film Festival.

Some friendly law firm is buying cab rides home tonight, because it’s Tuesday and people in San Francisco like to get fucked up on Tuesday.

SFist has all the pertinent details right here.

Oh look, I’m writing a weekly feature on street art for the online arm of one of my favorite local publications, SF Weekly.

I Heart Street Art will be published Tuesday mornings on their culture blog, All Shook Down. The first installment features Ribity and Maria Forde. Link.

Please enjoy this special video flyer for the Passionistas show at Bottom of the Hill tonight, opening for the great Ariel Pink.

Don’t be fooled by the black and white — this series of shots by Emamd is GOLD. You could right a durn good short story about the characters and situations in each one. Somebody kindly get on it.

Burrito Justice is calling for an end to tyranny by way of removal of the fence separating this gorgeous stairway from its adoring public. Johnny0 says, “I’m thinking a taco truck in front to draw the crowds.”

I’m thinking YES PLEASE. Link.

Isn’t it a trip what a kick we get out of something so simple as four little pieces of black magic marker on a pipe in a coffee shop bathroom?
