Mission Mission

This babe Melissa (not pictured) just wrote a post looking back at some memorable dates she’s been on, one of which took place in the Mission:

It is the local hipster coffee shop’s one year anniversary blow-out prom party, by exclusive invitation. The very cute owner of my favorite bar asks to take me. We end up on sort of a double-date with another couple who are also on a first date. We dance, we laugh, we take goofy pictures. We pile into a van to go to an after-party. The girl on the other date is showing everyone her tattoos. “I got this tattoo of plaid because, I dunno, I just like plaid?” she says. Date and I had bonded earlier over people with dumb tattoos. “What’s the writing on your chest?” he asks. “It’s a line from my favorite Decemberists song: ‘You Are the Heart That I Call Home.’”

Read on for the dramatic conclusion.

This Thursday, Noise Pop presents a special party at the Cal Academy featuring The Ferocious Few. Here’s the deal:

Noise Pop is proud to announce our partnership with Nightlife at California Academy of Sciences. Every couple months we’ll join forces with Nightlife to bring unique and exciting programming to this beautiful and living space. On December 8th, we’re bringing The Ferocious Few to the museum so they can pummel their way through a powerhouse set of pop gems.

Having mostly seen these guys playing on dirty Mission street corners, it’ll be extra special to see them in a world-class science museum. To win tickets, tell us your best Ferocious Few-related anecdote in the comments section below. A winner will be chosen based on merit. Contest ends at noon this coming Wednesday.

Buy tickets here.

Stop by Wire and Nail on Treat Avenue near 18th to have a look for yourself.

So he has his friend guard the door for him, and no one else is allowed in even when there are two urinals and TEN GUYS IN LINE. We were like, “R U SERIOUS??”

The friend granted us permission to snap a picture and blog about it, like as a public service, so you’ll know what to expect if you find yourself in line behind this guy.

(If it’s determined that this is too mean or something, I guess I’ll take it down. Lemme know.) (But seriously, if you need the whole bathroom to yourself, maybe don’t go to a dive bar full of hundreds and hundreds of needing-to-piss men? I dunno.)

Look at these babes!

Look at these babes!

These next babes don’t really have the holiday sweater thing going on, but they have a wreath. Look at these babes!

The hottest new meme on Twitter:

Get in the game.
