Return of the Whoa-hawk

It’s looking perhaps even more epic than last year, right?

What’s going on here, photo crew and Yakuza-looking bros?

Former Delano’s Market WILL become a Fresh and Easy

After all that lively debate about which company most deserved the space, a victor has arisen – Fresh & Easy is coming to the Mission! The Chronicle dropped this bombshell as a throwaway one-liner in a piece about another Fresh & Easy opening elsewhere in the city:

And, we learned on Tuesday, Fresh & Easy just signed a lease for the shuttered DeLano’s Market on South Van Ness Avenue in the Mission District.

Butters is missing

Have you seen this cat? Our neighbor needs our help:

Hello- My name is Emily and I am looking for my cat Butters. She jumped out of an open window near 40 McCoppin Street sometime last Sunday night or Monday morning.

PLEASE HELP ME FIND HER!!!

She’s a lynx point Himalayan/persian, 2 years old, and really scared to be outside, so she’s probably hiding somewhere or under something.

Get in touch here.

Arty punks from Tempe bring arty punk to the Verdi

They’re called Vegetable, and I’m not having much luck Googling “vegetable tempe.” But I like the look of this video. They’re playing tonight at the Verdi Club as part of a 7″ release party starring local heroes Grass Widow, who we’ve gushed about a bit previously.

I mean, haven’t you always wanted a reason to go to the Verdi Club for the first time? Tonight’s the night. RSVP and invite your friends here.

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
