Mission Mission

I’ve never seen a crowd go so nuts for a cover band before:

And get this: they’re playing again this Friday right here in the Mission, at Brick & Mortar!

(Thanks, Jess!)

If you want to attend the best electronic dance music party the Mission has ever known, attend Haçeteria tonight.

Let’s get down:

RSVP and invite your friends!

We all had a lot of good times at Deco Lounge, as this picture and these pictures prove. But things change and businesses close and new businesses open in their place. Eater SF reports:

The team behind Benders Bar has had the keys to the former Deco Lounge in the Tenderloin for a while now, and they’ve finally spilled the beans to Tablehopper about what’s going in: Emperor Norton’s Boozeland. While the name implies a wacky SF theme park, the space is actually pretty simple: rock ‘n roll, basic dive-bar drinks, and a bust of the eponymous Protector of Mexico in the former ticket window.

They’ve completely refurbed the place, knocking out the wall between the bar and the dance floor (if it’s even still a dance floor), replacing flooring and electrical and more, and opening up the back patio!!! Can’t wait! (Doesn’t sound like tater tots will be involved though, sadface.)

Follow Emperor Norton’s Boozeland on Facebook for updates!

Seriously, ladies, it’s me and like eight dudes at this bar right now; please join us. (But for goodness’ sake leave the kids at home — I don’t care what Orwell says.) (Crispin is a hard cider btw; girls like cider, right?) (Jkjkjk!)

American Tripps, the ping pong party that got its start right here in the Mission, is celebrating its 2-year anniversary this weekend! Here’s the deal:

The first weekend in August marks our 2-year anniversary of throwing Berlin-style ping pong parties in San Francisco, so we wanted to do something big to celebrate. Then we caught wind of North American Scum, the acclaimed LCD Soundsystem cover band based here in SF, and we figured it’d be awesome to book them and use the occasion to pit LCD against Daft Punk, their mentors — and current kings of the airwaves.

So: dance party, DJs, live band, Berlin-style ping pong, drinks, food truck out front, foosball and skeeball upstairs in the mezzanine.

Sounds awesome! LCD Soundsystem rules! RSVP and invite your friends!

To win a pair of tickets, relay your best LCD Soundsystem- or Daft Punk-related anecdote in the comments sections below. Winner will be decided based on merit. Contest ends Friday at noon.

Shut down by park ranger in Dolores Park. Reasons given: not allowed to tie things to trees, it hurts the trees, and palm leaves are falling
