Mission Mission

Doc Pop‘s first one was nothing but great shots of San Francisco. The second one is something completely different:

Today I’m proud to announce that the second issue of my American Analog zine is available online! To create this issue I set a goal of traveling to NYC and spending 3 solid days walking EVERYWHERE and capturing whatever I could. It was much more stressful than doing a “best of SF” type book, like my first issue, but the end result turned out great!

See inside and order copies here.

Rickshaw Stop‘s weeklong 10th anniversary bash kicked off last night with a rip-roaring show by the Spits. The drummer was a definite highlight, as usual.

The festivities continue tonight with Mikal Cronin, Cool Ghouls, and Cocktails! And tickets are almost gone! Get ‘em here! (Geographer and YACHT are totally sold out already, so better get on that Craigslist.)

This is my favorite new Twitter personality. Based in the Mission, so I’m told:

Think about it: if each of us convinced JUST ONE friend to bike to work, we could all feel better on the drive to work. #psa #awareness

I think they were probably dancing to something like…

It’s The Yellow Dress! Here’s the deal:

We’ve been working on our new album, “Faint Music//Ordinary Light” for the better part of a year now, and at last at last it is done! Recorded and mixed to tape at Tiny Telephone Studios and featuring the band in full 8 member formation, we couldn’t be prouder of the results. Come celebrate with us at the Rickshaw Stop, a venue most near and dear to us, Saturday January 4th and delay the crushing cold and darkness of winter one week further.

Featuring:
The newly resurrected Quite Polite (https://www.facebook.com/QuitePolite)
Basement (featuring members of Little Teeth) (http://basementphr.bandcamp.com/)
Watercolor Paintings! (http://watercolorpaintings.bandcamp.com/)
Plus special guests and the most members of the Yellow Dress ever on stage at one time, even our beloved Zoe Rose Palladino!

Advanced tickets are highly encouraged and will come with a free digital download of the album! They can be bought here: http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/419107/

Can you believe Rickshaw Stop is 10 years old??? Seems like only yesterday it was the upstart new kid on the block, and now it’s an established, respected, totally awesome rock club that regularly hosts your favorite bands and dance parties and talks and R. Kelly sing-alongs.

To celebrate the milestone, they’ve put together this killer lineup of bands for a little anniversary mini-festival. Tickets to Geographer are already sold out, but a weeklong pass will still get you in. Cannot WAIT to see YACHT again. Also, how sick is the rock ‘n’ roll one-two (-three-four-five-six) punch of the Tuesday and Wednesday lineups?? In any case, act fast if you wanna score tix before more sellouts.
