Mission Mission

Esteemed Mission writer @brittneyg asks an extremely important question about San Francisco:

An illuminating Twitter discussion followed — more here — and thanks to @therealWBTC, we are collecting DATA – how many hoodies do you own?

Do hoodies outnumber San Franciscans? Add your zip code and we can answer that eternal question — who has more hoodies, the Mission or Outer Sunset? And how many dogs have hoodies?

…is obviously to walk directly down the middle of the street barefoot while cars speed past you in both directions. This way you don’t even have to worry about choosing the most effective side of the street!

It’s been 10 years and a couple weeks since Mission punk hero and Hickey frontman Matty Luv passed away.

Celebrate by writing more graffiti, or by getting the recently issued Hickey retrospective compilation, or by reading about how Hickey raged against the commercialization of punk (and the Voodoo Glow Skulls).

Bartender mistook “soda water and the check” as “soda water and some Jack.” Oh shit.

Can anybody beat that one?

So you’re pumped that Rite Spot reopened, right? But you haven’t actually made it over yet? Well this is an easy one. Yea-Ming from Dreamdate on a chill Wednesday night, right around the corner, the Giants will likely have laid waste to the Tigers already, you’ll be ready to celebrate and take in some tunes. RSVP and invite your friends!

Perhaps this bike ride, completed on Sunday by one Chris Phipps, is the reason the Giants were able to turn their luck around and take the NLCS.  Whatever voodoo may have occurred, the Giants now find themselves in the World Series again for the 2nd time in three years, even if last night’s rain prematurely put out all the mattress fires.  Oh, and if you’re wondering how he did the diagonal parts:

To get the diagonals, I stop the GPS at point A, then restart it at point B and it draws a straight line between the points.

Genius!  And that intense elevation is a great way to burn calories too!
