Mission Mission

Years ago I scored a pretty sweet Matson cap, but it was a pink logo on faux denim, which was just a little too normcore even back in ’03, so it didn’t get much use.

MOL is a Japanese company of course, so presumably this means Burrito Justice is a big Nippon Daihyō supporter. (They face Greece in about 5 minutes.) (And yes, when you take a picture of Mr. Justice, you have to obscure his face somehow. I offered to squirt curry ketchup all over it but he declined.)

That’s right, Pride is just around the corner once again! And you just might wanna celebrate it right here in the Mission at the Chapel with the Sunday Mass crew and Ladytron on the decks! Here’s a little more info:

For this very special Sunday Pride edition of MASS, we are pulling out all the stops and delivering you the full venue experience, with three rooms of dancing, a visual spectacular at every turn, and as always, an eye towards musical and artistic excellence. Come as you are on Sunday, June 29th.

Your team loses and you’re alone at the bar and everyone else is cheering for Uruguay

(I like this still best, but it’s part of a longer animated GIF by Burrito Justice.)

I guess we’ll have to let it live. Thanks, Simon. [link]

They’re at it again, apparently. Here’s what SFist‘s Jay Barmann has to say about it:

It’s of course technically illegal to be drinking in the park. It’s illegal to be smoking cigarettes there too. Does everyone do both of these things on a daily basis? Yes. Do the cops even bother when the place is almost too thick with people even to walk through? Not usually. But clearly they were bored today, and looking to be spoilsports, or they got a call from an incorrigible, bitter, bored NIMBY who lives next to the park and has nothing better to do than be a killjoy on a sunny day.

People like that deserve our pity.

But just a warning to be on alert these days with your bottles. Keep them well concealed or you might lose half a bottle of lovely Pinot Gris. [link]

See ‘em? As we departed the tunnel, I noticed them heading right for us. I was like fuck. Here they come:

Here’s a closeup:

Majestic.

Maybe they’re here to defend the bridge against the next wave of apester invasion?

Local legend Amit Gupta reports:

Apparently Netflix is filming or doing a dry run for a shot for a show called Sense8. They’re on 18th and Dearborn and have been there since 10am with cameras, crew, and tons of motorcycles.

Here’s some video:

For more info on the show, which sounds pretty trippy, check out this report.

(Thanks, Amit!)
