Mission Mission

Patatap took the internet by storm a few weeks back, but now it’s an iPhone app — and a movie set in the Mission:

Mmmm, In-N-Out Burger.

That is all. Just wanted to say it out loud since for so doggone long it seemed like it would never happen

AND, it was designed by Lil Tuffy, creator of our awesome Mission Mission Bingo Board!

Here’s what Stu has to say:

Personally I believe prostitution should be legalized so we can get rid of pimps, cut down on sex trafficking, and make the entirety of the sex business safer for everyone involved. But until that happens, Capp Street will always be for hookers and now you can get a shirt that says so.

Win one (or purchase one) here.

Way back in 2009, we urged you to vote for our pal Audrey’s t-shirt idea on Threadless, but I don’t think it ever made the cut. (Our post was called “Vote for true love!“)

A couple weeks ago, the design finally became available for purchase — with some added pizzazz courtesy of local artist Porous Walker, who we also wrote about way back in 2009. (That post was called “The Mavericks of Diarrhea!“)

Here it is:

True love! Get it here!

I thought my “This is definitely the most fucked crotch I’ve ever seen” photo spread would be the definitive look inside the Mission-based Darn-It! darning/repair shop, but Self Edge went ahead and produced their own very beautiful behind-the-scenes movie anyway:

Mission Bowling Club is getting to work:

For the entire month of June, every time you purchase a Mission Burger or an order of Green Chili Cheese Fries we will donate $1 from the sale to At The Cross Roads! www.atthecrossroads.org

Those fries are the bomb btw. And you already know all about the burger.

Party at the SPCA this Friday evening! Here’s the deal:

Join us for a party to toast the growth of San Francisco SPCA’s lifesaving adoption program in our newly remodeled space in the heart of the Mission. The new adoption center features an indoor dog park, San Francisco-themed cat condos, interactive technology designed to better help you meet your perfect pet, and more.

Why did we need a remodel? To expand our capacity and help more than 6,000 animals find loving homes each year. Come for cocktails at the hosted bar, food trucks, music, and to find your new best friend!

Read all about it!

Our pal Katherine K. Robinson has been perfecting this routine for a while now, and it sounds worthwhile and fun and yummy:

I started making my own almond milk about a year and a half ago to reduce the trash we produce (the shelf stable packaging is not recyclable in San Francisco) and avoid all the fillers and preservatives in store bought almond milk. Now that I’ve figured out a routine and recipe that works for us, I’ll never go back to the watery, flavorless, packaged variety.

How to make almond milk:

Start with good quality raw almonds, unpasteurized if possible. I purchase mine from Cipponeri Family Farms at the Heart of the City Farmers’ Market. They are not certified organic but they do not use pesticides. Last time I purchased almonds I paid $20 for 4lbs. Other options in San Francisco include Alfieri Farms and Massa Organics at the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market.

Read on for the rest of the process.
