Mission Mission

…arrive early enough to see opening act Ed Schrader’s Music Beat. Don’t look them up or listen to them first or anything. Just be there — and be ready for some serious shit.

(Especially if you paid $200 for your ticket on StubHub and really gotta get your money’s worth.)

Now let’s rock:

@missionmission is it bad that I’m dying to eat at “La Movida” just to experience the same spaghetti eaten by Bjork?

No way dude

See the SFist report “Local Pranksters Are Flipping Smart Cars for Kicks” for the story.

See Doc Pop‘s weekly Mission Mission column “3D City” for more 3D fun.

Every time I got to Pal’s Take Away (which operates out of La Movida during the day when La Movida is dormant) I wonder and often say out loud, “Who hangs out at La Movida at night, anyway?”

The answer is: Björk. Björk hangs out at La Movida at night. She had a mostly vegetarian dinner, with a party of eight.

No word on whether or not the dancing cat was one of them.

For years I’ve been trying to come up with a carrot juice-based brunch drink. The tomato juice-based Bloody Mary is one of the most famous and beloved drinks of all time, so why not something with carrot, right? About a decade ago I tried something involving a ton of carrot juice and a ton of Ketel One, and a whole banana as garnish. It was a waste of a ton of carrot juice and a ton of Ketel One and a whole banana.

Now, I’m not saying the El-ahrairah is gonna join the Bloody Mary in the cocktail hall of fame, but it is damn good. The ginger helps mellow the carrot, and the dark rum stands up to all of it better than Ketel One would.

And it goes great with Barrelhead Brewhouse‘s BRUNCH POUTINE.

“So do you think you can hurry up and move along, buddy?  Just trying to get home over here.”

This one’s got everything: politics, magic, and video games.  It takes all of your heroes and combines them in one striking fashion statement.

Harry Potter, Obama, and Sonic the Hedgehog (and maybe the Rose Parade?).  What does it mean?  What doesn’t it mean!  Hopefully Josh Yule picked it up after taking the most important photo so far of 2014.

Update: I’m an idiot and should have googled “sonic obama backpack” before posting this.

For the night is dark and full of glowy things… sorry, I’m still in character from that Game of Thrones prom thing at the Armory on Saturday. I’ve been bringing my Lumix 3D camera out on rainy nights and capturing neon signs and fire spinners around the city.

A few more shots after the bump.
