Mission Mission

I hope this criticism doesn’t tip the scales or anything, but when this thing is over, will we get our fuckin’ sweet pig mural back? I hope so.

Says this description of the participants in today’s Yes on 8 truck parade. Don’t forget to vote.

Over at Oopsie Daisy, Daisy reminds us not to take anything for granted. Link.

The Ladder Herald has some mesmerizing photos of hula hoopers run amok at last night’s street party. More, and bigger, here. Thanks, Elizabeth!

As you must know by now, Mission Street Food is going to be moving its operation indoors, starting this coming Thursday. Johnny0 has the full story and a nice big graphic over at Burrito Justice.

Among other things, it’s been announced that something called a “fortune” “cookie” will be this week’s dessert item, and right now over at Plebiscite, home of an unnamed MSF insider, they’re soliciting ideas for fortune cookie fortunes. Hit ‘em with your best shot. Link.

no one in particular says:

The Day of the Dead parade was ironically the only time I’ve been on 24th Street and not seen a single Mexican.

Reader Chris spotted this item on SFist’s anonymous tip page: After this election thing is done, American Apparel will take over the space currently occupied by the Sanchez campaign. Chris says, “Not sure how I feel about it personally. It’s definitely not the type of development the mission needs.” Why not? You got a problem with my extra-short American Apparel gym shorts?

Update: Elly says:

I asked some mark sanchez reps about this when they doorknocked me yesterday and they told me that AA has actually had the lease on that space for years and not been able to move in because the zoning on valencia doesn’t allow franchises. they seemed to think that AA will never be able to open up there due to that, and pointed out how irritating it is that they’ve been paying like 8k a month to hold the space and keep it from other local businesses that the neighbs might actually want.

Remember, the first rule of Fight Club is don’t print a bunch of beautiful posters announcing Fight Club’s date and location and illegality because then bloggers will post the image and some citizen will call the fuzz and Fight Club will have to clandestinely relocate to another hill. Anyway, Fight Club was pretty fun despite all that. This guy was the star of the show. While most rode the brake quite a bit, this fearless hero never touched it, repeatedly flying down the raceway at top speed, “sharpest turns in the city” and all. For his second and third runs, he donned a helmet, thank goodness.
