Mission Mission

Our pal Keli (not pictured) sums it up:

So I walk into the Lex and ask the door person how the night is going.

“It’s midnight in San Francisco but warm enough I’m wearing short shorts. AND I can get married if I want to. What’s not to like?!”

Nothin’!

Ping Pong Nite says:

PING PONG NITE is every Thursday night at El Rio, 9-midnight. PING PONG NITE means dancing, drinking, and ping pong. Free!

This edition of Ping Pong Nite is PRIDE EDITION!!! Kick the weekend off RIGHT!!!!!

RSVP and invite your friends!

Local faves Social Studies opened up:

A wall of televisions displayed a big ad for the new Converse Store opening soon on Market Street, featuring this image of Andrew Schoultz finishing up his mural on the side of Pop’s:

And then Hot Chip took the stage (which had to be extended by a few feet to accomodate all their awesome gear) and killed:

It was unreal being so close to them, and in such an intimate setting. Thanks, Converse Represent!

With LOTS of mayo. It was awesome. From Little Red Riding Truck at SoMa StrEat Food Park.

It’s called Score, and it’s happening this weekend at the new 1564 MRKT space. Here’s how it works:

Bring your old clothes, accessories, books or vinyl, pay an entrance fee, and take whatever you like… for free! Pretty simple.

Plus live screenprinting (WorkshopSF), photobooth (curated by 31RAX), awesome food (Tamale Los Mayas), killer music (DJs King Most & Freddy Anzures) and of course, FREE BEER (Speakeasy Brewery). Leftover items will be donated to Goodwill, and proceeds from the event will benefit awesome local charities.

Advance tickets are only $5 and they’re going fast! Full details here.

Strawberry-balsamic margarita! Like the strawberry-balsamic ice cream at Bi-Rite! It’s like the reverse of the Jesus Juice sorbet at Humphry’s: instead of taking a delicious alcoholic drink and turning it into a delicious frozen dessert, they took a delicious frozen dessert and turned it into a delicious alcoholic drink!

It’s sweet and strong, with a zing, and very good-looking. Find it at Hog & Rocks.

Drink of the week is brought to you by Poachedjobs.com.

Discounted presale tickets here.

Here’s what’s up:

Well, Singin’ & Pingin’ used to be a once-in-a-while thing, but the last one at Verdi Club was so epicly fun, we decided to do it all over again, just two months later (and a month after the extravaganza at Z Space).

DJ Purple (http://djpurple.com/) will be rocking the dance floor, and we’ll have two ping pong tables going all night!

ALSO, Verdi Club’s bar got so slammed last time, they’ve decided to have THREE bars open this time, instead of just the one. No waiting!!!

RSVP and invite your friends!
