Mission Mission

Our pal Xtina, whose musings about fashion in the Mission we looked at yesterday, published an epic followup this morning, titled “classy clothes don’t make u classy”:

there was a girl at edinburgh last night wearing $600 opening ceremony shoes.

an hour later i saw same girl peeing in the garbage can in the women’s bathroom. [link]

Really needing to piss is the great leveler I guess.

UPDATE: The shoes in question.

Mission Local reports, regarding a farewell concert held at the space last night:

Adobe Bookshop has been a neighborhood institution for 24 years, says Aaron Novak, who organized [last night's] event and flew out from the East Coast specifically for it. ”We’re doing this for the community, the people that come here every day.”

Due to rising rent and fewer customers, the store is expected to close August 31. [link]

Bummer!

You must go to greater lengths to protect your head and upper body when riding a scooter:

I’m wearing my office clothes in the mission right now. I probably look like a bigger freak then the crackheads with no pants on

Live theater! When was the last time you saw some live theater? Z Space seems to be the place to see some, and I’ll be damned if the above image isn’t seriously sparking my curiosity. Here’s the deal:

Z Space presents Joe Goode Performance Group <http://www.joegoode.org>  in the world premiere of When We Fall Apart, a dance theater work that examines the intricate and fragile relationship between house and body, and the determination and resilience of the human spirit. Life (and the body that contains it) is impermanent and – like everything – eventually falls apart. Goode explores the motivations that keep us building, even as life might collapse around us, by weaving the real life stories of audience & community members into the work itself. Architect and collaborator Cass Calder Smith <http://ccs-architecture.com/v3/>  provides a visual “house of art,” constructed to collapse, re-shape, and illuminate the songs, stories, and movement that take place within. Featuring original music composed and performed live by Ben Juodvalkis of the band Battlehooch <http://battlehooch.com/> . Presented and commissioned by Z Space.

I like the sound of a collapsing house, and I love the sound of Battlehooch. Sucks to be reminded that everything falls apart though

The best part is, it’s a chicken sandwich. This is dumb as rocks, but I really wish it was available at our neighborhood combination Taco Bell/KFC, right?

I guess you could sort of do it yourself with this week’s 4505 Meats Burger Chef’s Market Box, or you could see if the Fogcutter babes will top tonight’s Fried Green Tomato Burger with some cotija cheese from the summer squash tacos, OR just slap some cheese on your late-night Hog & Rocks spicy fried chicken sandwich if you really wanna keep it real.

Look at these details:

Chef’s Market Box is a weekly program, part of the Mission Community Market (that Thursday-evening thing behind the Alamo Drafthouse), which gets you a recipe from a local chef and all the fresh local ingredients you need to make it. This week’s looks bomb:

4505 Meats Burger and Summer Salad

Cook up Eater SF’s Best Burger in the Bay! 4505′s grass-fed, dry-aged beef, Gruyere cheese and 4505 secret sauce, plus a summer salad with lemon vinaigrette.

Your Market Box includes: The full recipe from Chef Ryan Farr, founder of 4505 Meats, and all the ingredients you’ll need.

Ingredients: All produce is organic! 1/2 lb. 4505 ground beef, special sauce, Gruyere cheese, onion, butter lettuce, buns, lemon, herbs, nectarines, fennel.

And since you’re making it yourself, you can totally make it animal-style!

IMPORTANT: You must order it today if you want it tomorrow.

Oh look, and he’s spray-painting something of his own too.

I wonder if you can get it animal-style!
