Mission Mission

Today only, only at The Galley. (My eyes have a stomach ache now.)

Berlin-style ping pong and DISCO!!! $5!!! Here’s the deal:

We’ve paired a lot of different musical styles with Berlin-style ping pong over the years, but this February, with the help of celebrity DJ COSMIC AMANDA (http://quonky.tumblr.com/), we’re taking AMERICAN TRIPPS to the DISCO for the very first time!!! Get ready!

Plus, we’re at Rickshaw Stop again, so be prepared for skeeball and foosball upstairs — and lots of snuggling in their fleet of comfy rickshaws.

RSVP and invite your friends! And then get down to the disco classic “I Like Love” by Norma Jean Wright:

Mayor Ed Lee and SFPD Chief Greg Suhr came to the neighborhood to tell merchants all about their plan. Mission Local reports:

SFPD is doubling the number of officers on the street during the game compared to the force deployed after the World Series, Suhr said.  Rather than wait until the game ends, forces will be pre-deployed during the game along major thoroughfares including Market Street, Hayes Street, 16^thStreet, 24^th Street and Mission Street.

During the World Series, people put their garbage out and bins were overflowing, offering fuel for bonfires.  This time, officials are working with Department of Public Works to empty cans every hour during the game.

After 5 pm on Sunday, buses will no longer run along transit lines, but use diesel fuel so they can carve alternate routes around celebrations and avoid any crowds blocking the streets.

Can’t wait! Also, a threat:

In a veiled warning to Super Bowl revelers, Chief Suhr said: “Carry yourself as if you’re on television, because somebody is probably be videotaping you.”

“Know that if you’re acting out, someone is going to have a video camera and they’re going to send it to us,” Suhr added. “  Don’t let this be a life-changing experience.” [link]

Well, I for one, I mean, I’ve always wanted to be on TV!

Four big pieces, plus biscuits and gravy and sides. At an even $25 for the spread, it’s a little pricier than Popeye’s, but good lord the Maverick fried chicken is top notch. Normally this will be available Mondays only, but this week only, in honor of the Super Bowl, they’re doing it Sunday too. Plan ahead.

I also recommend making an awesome sandwich the next day with whatever leftovers you might have:

Thanks!

I was on my way to dinner at Hog & Rocks the other night when I ran into my pal Paul strolling down 20th Street. I invited him to join me, but he’d just eaten, at KronnerBurger, where he’d had a lovely meal and they’d served him CARBONATED TEQUILA. I immediately changed my plans.

They carbonate the tequila for inclusion in a drink called the “Carbonated Motherfucking Margarita,” which was really good — but not as disarming as the carbonated tequila on its own. It’s like you’re drinking champagne, but it’s tequila. It’s like you’re drinking science fiction! It turned my world upside down. (First because it was such a wild thing to experience, second because I ended up having about nine shots, which I think carbonated my brain a little bit.)

I went back the next night for more, but they were out or something, so I stormed out. Which means, I guess you might not always be able to get it. (The good news is, the rest of KronnerBurger’s bar program is also very good. I recommend the Scotcholate Milk and the Sarsaparilla Old Fashioned.)

Your usual host Nick Pal will return soon, don’t worry. Drink of the Week is brought to you by Poachedjobs.com.

Enjoy it while listening to “Night Moves” by Bob Seger:

This happened somewhere in the Mission I guess.
