It’s been too long! Here’s all the info:

It’s been more than *half a year* since SINGIN’ & PINGIN’ made an appearance in the Mission — where it all started! We’ve been doing the festival thing and venturing to other neighborhoods and cities, but now we’re back!!!

• Singin’ & Pingin’ = DJ PURPLE + AMERICAN TRIPPS
• DJ Purple = DANCE KARAOKE
• American Tripps = BERLIN-STYLE PING PONG
• Verdi Club = DREAMY SURROUNDINGS
• June 20th = SUMMER SOLSTICE EVE
• Summer Solstice = TIME TO GET CRRRAZY
• The Mission = THE PLACE TO BE

The Verdi Club, in the heart of the Mission District, is seriously the place you want to be as spring turns into summer: expert bartenders, chill lighting, all the dance floor we could possibly need… We cannot wait!

And there will be homemade tacos! RSVP and invite your friends! DJ Purple’s songbook can be found here. (Get to work!)

Joey the Cat isn’t content to just go around being the GREATEST SKEEBALL PLAYER IN THE WORLD, no. He wants to share the joy, with all of us, so he’s put together a warehouse space in the Dogpatch full of ALL MANNER OF ARCADE AMUSEMENTS. And there’s a party:

Joey the Cat Skeeball Rentals have partnered with HemHaus to bring you the most epic afternoon of your recent memory. We’ve secured 2000 sq ft of warehouse space and installed 13 classic arcade games. The arcade games include Skeeball, Basketball, Bubble Hockey and hometown favorite, Whac-a-Mole. If that wasn’t enough, we’ll also have beer pong and cornhole. While it’s pretty amazing to have all of these games in one place….we’re also going to put on a World Cup style tournament with all of these games!

There will be booze. More info and ticketing here.

I saw this item yesterday on the corner of 23rd and Harrison too. I thought about taking a picture but was too lazy. Thankfully, Natalie took care of business. What is this thing? “I don’t know,” says Natalie.

Jennifer Maerz of The Bold Italic has the scoop:

“The basic vision is to serve simple, good, healthy organic and/or small batch coffee from ethically grown sources. We are working with Stumptown throughout this process, including which espresso machine to buy.” [Rainbow's Jeff] Ray adds that they’ll be serving lots of different teas from their amazing bulk tea selection as well as “creative lattes” and coffee drinks.

The cafe will be to the right of Rainbow’s native garden, taking over the corner of 13th and Folsom. They’re decorating it with donated furniture and plants, with hopes of custom-made furniture in the future.

And they might host some events there too! Read on.

P.S. …

Basically I just wanted all of these in one place. But I mean, what the heck. Can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow.
