Mission Mission

Happy birthday, Ty!

[From a Vine by Lindsey]

“The best show of all time” might be hyperbole, since Thee Oh Sees get better and better every time I see them, but at the time it was definitely the best show of all time, the KUSF benefit they played mere days before the Eagle was shuttered forever. (One good samaritan posted a video of the show in its entirety and it is a GOOD video.)

Anyway, they reopened the Eagle, and tonight, in a few short hours, Thee Oh Sees return. I’m gonna go line up *right now*.

P.S. Petey and Ginger, the documentary about Petey from Thee Oh Sees, which was real good fun, screens again next Thursday at the Roxie. With a great short about Brute Force called Brute Force. Not sure if Petey will be on hand (or as awesomely wasted) for the second screening, but one can hope.

GET IT NOW

You know how you go to see Daft Punk at the Greek Theater and you’re way up on the hill and all you see is a couple of robot heads nodding atop a big pyramid? Or you see Justice at Treasure Island and you’re way out in the crowd and all you see is a couple of French dudes rocking out atop a little podium?

At Haçeteria, you get to see — up close and personal, in an intimate setting right here in the Mission — up-and-coming electronic talent making music on real-live hardware right before your eyes. Tonight you’ll see Leech from LA, turning knobs and pushing buttons and making you dance. Plus there’s guest DJ Myles (of Gonna Find Boyfriends Today fame), and all the great resident Haç DJs spinning the classics. Oh and lots of fog and lasers.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Mission Local reports:

San Bruno Police, with the assistance of San Francisco Police SWAT team, searched a home on Folsom Street, between 21th and 22nd streets, for evidence of the ongoing investigation of Cecilia “Yaya” Zamora’s homicide, who was found dead in Pacifica in April, said Lt. Tim Mahon of San Bruno Police.

Investigators took residents cell phones and two computers, said Debbie Patton, a resident at the home. However, there were no arrests, Mahon said.

When my parents lived in the Mission back in the 1970s, they liked to go dancing at a place called Dance Your Ass Off. They’d tell me about this as a kid and I’d be all Disco? Seriously? And what kind of a name is that? Now that I’m an adult, I, rightly, wish there were a straight-up ’70s-style disco with a dumb name around here somewhere.

Tonight, our good pal Cosmic Amanda, of the popular Mutiny Radio program Radioculars and the popular American Tripps disco spinoff I Like Love, is fulfilling my dreams, kind of, by taking the DJ reins at Asiento (just a block off the New 20th Street Corridor). She promises hours of disco and hours of fun. And she’ll be all decked out, like a proper Studio 54 regular. I think the party might be called “Dance Turnoffs,” which is awesomely dumb, but the Facebook invite isn’t totally clear.

Prizes, friends, fun, and LOTS of food trucks. And a beer-and-wine-and-sangria truck.

For a look at last season’s final meet and awards ceremony (which included a block of tickets to the Treasure Island Music Festival, among other things), see this photo album.

I wonder if this will gain him free access to the new New Mission Theater once it reopens as an Alamo Drafthouse some time next year.

It’s called Sangre del Toro, and it’s at West of Pecos. It’s what we were drinking that time we saw a million people we knew walk by out front.

I’m actually in Brooklyn right now, and last night I had a drink called the Beergarita at this place Daddy’s. They float some alright frozen margarita on top of a pint of some alright beer. And it’s really good! As I’m sure you can easily imagine. So imagine how good it must be to have some really excellent frozen margarita swirled into some really excellent sangria! It’s really excellent. Plus, the people watching at this place is great, obviously. Can’t wait to get back!
