Mission Mission

The Feast has the scoop:

The original variety, somewhat of a cult classic, made its debut almost a year ago and is a hit in local stores such as Whole Foods, but these new habanero, serrano-tomatillo, and chipotle varieties will have a smaller run. [link]

They go on sale the first week of November. Available at your friendly neighborhood Papalote or at the Papalote Salsa website.

Just in time for Halloween!

“YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE YOUR PARTS,” however, is only one half of the story. Our pal Visivo has the other (plus an explanation) right here.

Like so you don’t develop any back problems from lazing about in the prak.

(Thanks, Eliza!)

Looks rad! Curator Angela tells us all about it:

“Monster Show” is a big group show that pays tribute to classic monsters, ghouls, villains and horror movie characters, as well as sci-fi and cult films, and urban legends. It’s also a perfect kickoff to Halloween!

[...]

Artist and guests are invited to dress up for the occasion. We’re going to have horror movies screening all night, 2 radical DJs playing videogame/horror movie inspired music, plus a ton of surprises from the P1 crew.

Allegedly, of course. Mission Local spent a recent evening with some parking attendants at a garage near 16th and Valencia. Here’s an excerpt:

8 p.m.

John walks over and tells me he’s been here for 11 years, since the garage has been open.

“I’ve seen it all,” he sighs. “This very bad neighborhood.”

John says most of their valet customers are from the East Bay. Not all of them are friendly. He says people from Oakland like to come to the garage on their way to sell drugs around 16th and Mission.

“They park here,” he says. “I see what they’re doing. I’m not stupid!”

Available now at Gravel & Gold.

Baby carrots. Really. And I think there’s a pea pod in there. ”Where’d you get that heinous slice?” I asked. Here’s Lindsey’s answer:

bristol farms :/ but it was so tasty.

According to the internet, Bristol Farms is located in some place called Union Square.
