Mission Mission

Bummer dude.

Timbuk2 have been pumping bags out of their Mission factory for 25 years, and tomorrow night they officially open their Factory Store to the public, on the corner of Shotwell and 20th Street. The free party starts at 6pm and features fine entertainment like a Skeeball Tournament (from Joey The Cat), a live Polka cover band called Polkalicious, local beer, drunk factory tours, raffles, discounted stuff and way more!

While this is a free event you do need to RSVP on facebook to get in, so go to the event page to do that.

We were surprised and bummed to hear that our pals over at the Bold Italic suddenly closed up shop, but it was heartening to see that even the bartenders at Zeitgeist, typically known for their gruff demeanor, felt the urge to usher them off on their unplanned vacation with this nice little treat.

Be sure to stop by Pops Bar on Friday 4/10 for 24&York, a dance party for the neighborhood! Brought to you by Shane King and Uh Huh Heard, and featuring local DJs…, rap music, cheap bear and good company! Shane says, “The idea behind 24&YORK was to keep things simple, just a place where folks could go on a Friday night to drink, talk, and listen to rap music. Pop’s was my first local when I moved to the neighborhood in 2004, and when I heard it was reopening, with a sound system, it was immediately clear the idea had a found a home.”

Looking good, park!

It’s by Ramona Emerson, one of the best writers of all time:

The weird thing about working all day everyday is that you’re going to die. and when you die you’re dead forever. Like who is the person who said, “I know. Five days will be for work and two days will be for brunch and everything else good.” That person must have hated people. And the thing is we just go along with it like there’s some kind of biological imperative to work five days a week. Like evolutionary psychology could be made to explain it just like it is made to explain everything that no one wants to deal with. You’re 28 and salad is the best part of your day. And then you sit in these neatly arranged spaces, tucked between office partitions that are supposed to make everything feel “organized” and “productive,” but mostly just remind you that your entire day has been divided into little boxes just like your time.

People have such weird ideas about work. If you told your mom you hated your boyfriend and he made you want to die, she would be like, “Break up with him!” But if you told your mom that you hated your job and it made you want to die, she’d be all, “Maybe you need to adjust your expectations.”

Offices are so strange. It’s so hard to know what’s going on in them. Are other people  working? It’s impossible to say since for a lot of people working has become indistinguishable from fucking around on the internet.

Read on for lots more, including bathroom sex fantasies and spinach and goat cheese salad.
