Mission Mission

Joe Montana from Rickshaw Bagworks gives us the skinny:

We’re excited to announce the MORE! City Tote.

Each bag is:
• Made from scratch in our own SF factory
• Features a special edition print by San Francisco artist Jim Winters.
• Donates 25% of each sale to the SF LGBT Center

This new drag bag is based on our City Tote and as you can see the bag is pretty loud (I mean there’s a rainbow coming out of our famous cable car) so we’ve made it in two options “Pop!” and “Subtle” for the more subdued supporter.

Last year the MORE! Messenger bag + Juanita MORE! Pride Party ticket sales helped raise over $27,000 for the GSA network and we’re hoping to push that number again this year.

Sounds good to me! Buy the bag (and see the “Subtle” version) here.

To win one, tell us your best Pride-related anecdote. (Mine would be the time I was dancing with Wam Bam Ashleyanne at the Hard French party last year when all of a sudden another dancer elbowed the mouth of my Anchor Steam straight into my face, giving me a gnarlily chipped tooth and a piercing headache — but I danced and drank the pain away and ended up rubbing my balls on my friend David Kelso’s handlebars and leaving him a 10-minute voicemail telling him all about it, in a high-pitched Scottish accent for some reason. Then we had a late-night dinner at Beretta, and my awesome dentist Dr. Noordeh fixed me right up a few days later.) Contest ends at noon on Friday. Winner will be chosen based on merit and awarded the MORE! City Tote of his or her choosing, as well as a private tour of Rickshaw Bagwork’s impressive facility in the Dogpatch.

Noise Pop 2012 was a pretty perfect festival experience — except for the fact that Big Freedia had to cancel her appearance. This show on Thursday night at Public Works is the official make-up, and it’s bound to be pretty perfect as well.

To win tickets, tell us your best Noise Pop 2012-related anecdote or your best sissy bounce-related anecdote in the comments section below. A winner will be picked based on merit. Contest ends this coming Wednesday at noon.

Buy tickets here.

Jacy from Stolen Sunday tells us a bit about the summer scarf collection:

Zebra print, neons and mints – oh my! We are in two stores in the Mission currently, Wonderland SF and Density.

To win one, tell us your best needing-a-scarf-in-the-summertime-in-San Francisco story in the comments section below. A winner will be chosen based on merit. Contest ends at noon on Friday. See the whole collection here. Winner gets to pick any item priced $45 or below.

Only $68 or something at Afterlife on Valencia. Probably worth it, tbh. A good backpack is hard to find.

Yesterday I instagrammed that I was having brunch at Sparky’s, and I got some opinionated comments in return. Among them:

• MAKE SURE U GET ONE OF THOSE AWESOME MIXED DRINKS! [Lizzy]
• Sparky’s suuuucks. Grubstake is the only 24-hour diner worth going to, IMO. [Carlos]
• It’s Tops will do the trick if you’re in this hood too. They have a burger with four patties. Nuff said. [Christina]

I’m pretty sure the mixed drinks at Sparky’s are gross and Lizzy is just culture jamming. Grubstake seems cool but when the hell are you ever anywhere near Grubstake? Four patties sounds gross, but I love It’s Tops.

Why the hell aren’t there more 24-hour dining options?

in december, i was on percocet at debaser. in february, i cried at debaser. in april, i took a swing at a girl- at debaser. cant wait 4 sat!

Knock ‘em dead, Linds!

This weekend’s edition celebrates the year 1992. RSVP and invite your friends!

The mix is a little rough, but this is a blast to watch anyway:

Thanks again, Captain Morgan Black!

We’re all underwater

But at least now when you say “Dolores Beach” you actually mean Dolores Beach. Anyway, this is our neighborhood and its surroundings in the year 2072, according to our pal Burrito Justice and a little thing called SCIENCE.

See how the rest of SF fares, and purchase the poster in three sizes, here.

Can’t wait!
