We’re thinking of taking on another editor or two. Know anybody good?

If so, hit me up: allan@missionmission.org

(Oh, and, we could use someone interested in the world of ad sales as well.)

And you end up facedown in the gutter like a bossss:

I like to give gin a hard time. Don’t really get it, don’t order it much. (Which I guess might preclude me from writing a column called “Drink of the Week” — but I’m only temping.) But, many years ago, my good pal Mike Chino and I were taking a ferry across the bay and I was about to order a beer. “But we’re on a boat!” he exclaimed, “We have to have gins and tonics!”

Mike’s rule stuck with me, and to this day I always order gins and tonics when I’m on a boat. Over the weekend I went with some friends across the bay to Alameda, for brunch at Hobnob and minigolf at Subpar and tiki drinks at Forbidden Island. The brunch drinks at Hobnob (including a coconut margarita) were great, the very complicated tiki drinks at Forbidden Island (including a Scorpion Bowl for four) were great — but there’s just something about sipping those no-frills gins and tonics on the upper deck of the Oakland-Alameda Ferry, the sights and sounds of the San Francisco Bay all around you — we had them both outbound and inbound. Drink of the week!

But you have to fight Chris Brennan for it first.  By the way, have you checked out his new store, Мишка San Francisco, yet?  It’s pretty fucking rad…

It’s a fun summer jam, too. Watch:
