Mission Mission

Full length out soon, they say, and they’re headlining Amnesia this Friday!

Day in, day out, be it Saturday night or Wednesday night, happy hour or late-night, rain or shine, this is pretty much the scene:

(Also, he designed the Mission Mission logo and most of the custom graphics in the sidebar, and I think I’m still actually technically financially indebted to him for all of that. Thanks again, Taggo!)

Sounds lovely! RSVP and invite your friends!

So, either some garbage elves cleaned up part of the park and neglected the other part, OR some people are fucking assholes and some people are not.

(Thanks, @Braccs.)
