So it begins RT @RawStory: Sen. Lieberman: Cut Social Security to prevent cuts to defense budget http://cot.ag/o0iCIe

So it begins MT @romenesko: Emergency Alert System hacked, warning viewers “dead bodies are rising from their graves.” http://t.co/PFV32APd — Tim Dickinson (@7im) February 11, 2013
 

so it begins “@wjhenn: Pentagon considers stimulating troops’ brains w/ “easy-to-apply electrodes” http://t.co/J5TynGY2q5”

And finally:

so it begins “@missionmission: Google to open new offices right around the corner from Trick Dog: http://t.co/iIjhYystp5” — Tim Dickinson (@7im) February 17, 2014
 

So whatever “it” is, it definitely involves the military, hackers, zombies, brain experiments — and Google moving into the Mission.

This is a still from a short film by Rice Paper Scissors (who recently opened a new brick-and-mortar on Mission Street). Watch it here.

Me and my pal Corntard were eating some of those awesome new Guatemalan hot dogs in the City College courtyard the other day when all of a sudden a pair of porta-potties took flight! Here they are, soaring over the Mission:

From there they gained altitude, veered eastward and landed safely on Mission Street. It was majestic.

This is at Dear Mom right now:

sliced rice-puff breaded fried chicken, kale+cucumber kimchi + yogurt salad, & spicy mayo, all on an epic english muffin! it’s on the menu today until 3pm [link]

On tap at Pal’s Takeaway (and whatever the place is called at night) right now!

And it was $11.50.

Tonight you can see an LCD Soundsystem *cover band* at Verdi Club for $15.

These Thistle guys (note that their URL is thistlechangeyou.com) (wait, so is it pronounced “this’ll”?) were giving out sample shots of their 100% raw, cold-pressed kale juice the other day on Valencia, so we struck up a conversation and ended up buying some other juices to go. But, us being us, we needed to combine them with alcohol in order to consume. It was awesome. Fancy juice is the bomb.

Next I’m gonna try combining the kale juice (which is called “Verdance” and also contains apple, celery, cucumber, spinach, parsley, lemon and ginger) with mezcal!

(We got the idea of a carrot-orange mimosa from the new kitchen staff at Broken Record btw.)

It’s a Guatemalan street specialty known as a shuco, and you can get one at a new spot on 22nd Street called Los Shucos.

The Roll Over Easy crew this morning read through a selection of recent Mission Connections, and this was the big closer. Like DJ Sequoia, I’m going to choose to believe this is real:

I know you saw me — how couldn’t you?

Or at least you could replay it later in the silver pair of technological seduction perched on the rim of your ear. I couldn’t help but stare, you caught my eye and I was smitten. You were perusing the gluten-free crackers aisle, a bottle of organic pinot grigio tucked under your arm, talking into your iphone. At first i thought you were one of those “eccentric” SF types that talk to themselves on the street until I realized it was just Siri and breathed a sigh of relief. Your polarfleece jacket was jauntily slung over your shoulder and I caught a glimpse of an ID card lanyard trailing out the back of your jeans pocket. You rocked that gingham plaid buttondown like there was no tomorrow (business casual never looked so good!). Did you go to MIT, or was it Stanford? My god, you are one in a million.

Brunch at Mission Beach Cafe or rock climbing at Mission Cliffs? Yes, please!
