Mission Mission

Company mascot? I think I might be interested in investing in this company.

From our pal Anna:

I was having an excellent 29th birthday celebration, hanging and drinking and singing with friends at Jack’s for Thursday karaoke night. I had my purse tucked away with my friends’ various jackets on the bench in the corner, along with a bottle of wine in a gift bag that a friend brought for me. When we got ready to leave the bar around midnight, we found that the bottle of wine was there but my purse was gone. It was a purple cloth purse, with a long strap. This sort of ruined what was proving to be a really awesome birthday celebration. I’m hoping that someone picked it up by mistake, and/or took it on purpose but would now kindly like to return it to me.

And a similar thing happened to another friend of ours at Slow Jams at the Make-Out Room on Tuesday. (It’s like they’ve targeted all the best parties in the neighborhood — careful at Diary this weekend!) The thieves grabbed her purse off a hook under the bar while it was inches away from her, and then they identity thieved her mom! Keep an eye on your stuff, girls and European guys.

The first because it features work by Carina Johnson. We use Carina’s photography so much here on the blog that we should really just have her on the payroll at this point.

The second because it’s nothin’ but Jihaari. You might remember Jihaari Terry from the Q&A we did with him last month all about common courtesies and working in the service industry.

What oh what does it taste like? (And would RayRay get pissed if I ordered one?)

The Tens on yesterday’s BART protest:

I either stumbled upon some sort of revolution or a Ke$ha concert, not sure which. [link]

Blam! Yep, it’s definitely looking like the graffiti is gonna more effective in the long term.

Reader Mike, who sent in this photo and basically wrote the headline, explains:

We saw some cheer leading going on so we offered our horse masks.

Why not? Thanks, Mike! This is almost as cute as the barfing horse from earlier!

The last one we saw was a bit more stylized. This one is just a big old FART plain as day.

Anyway, I still think the most effective BART-related political demonstration we’ve seen happened years ago.

Scope #opbart for the latest.

UPDATE: Montgomery and Powell are closed too.
