Mission Mission

Really?

(Thanks Eric! – Found on 18th between Treat and Folsom)

Lisa from everydayphotos shares some tragic news:

I was pretty bummed to see A Sunday Afternoon at Dolores Park get defaced already. I’ve watched the mural on 19th and Guerrero be painted over several months and it was finally just completed, so it’s too bad that someone couldn’t just graffiti somewhere else.

Additionally, Musk, whose body of work I’ve generally appreciated, ate a big bowl of pasta covered in lamesauce over the past few days and tagged a bunch of residential buildings and houses in the Mission.  Sorry Musk, but you’ve been degraded from “street artist” to “15-year-old boy with mommy issues.”

From 10-5, the police did not seem interested in doing anything more dramatic than giving homeless people a hard time, but I noticed the typical drug-bizarre was missing from Hipster Hill.  Did they ever come out and taze some bros?

Found at 23rd and SVN.

I was stoked to see more non-hallucinogenic pastries being sold in Dolores Park this weekend but was shocked to discover that it wasn’t being done illegally.  Permits?  What?  You mean I’m paying tax n’ shit for cupcakes?  My world is crushed.

But seriously, the cupcake I had was incredibly delicious.  And, most importantly, the truck has spinning-hubcaps, which pretty much makes it the most awesome thing this side of Twin Peaks.

In other news, I discovered that attempting to drink the bartender under the table is amateur vs. professional.

Yesterday, someone got a free undercarriage wash upgrade at the 25th and Folsom car wash.

In other news, the guy getting out of the car looks really disappointed. (youtube)

Thanks Amit!

If you couldn’t get a ticket to SF Food Wars Mac n’ Cheese battle, the Battle of the Empanadas will likely be just as fattening.

I’m putting my money on Chile Lindo.

Previously on Mission Mission:

• Empanada War! (Or, Empanada Love Fest)

If you like to combining Taming of the Shrew and Tecate tallboys, be sure to head to Dolores Park at 1pm tomorrow for Woman’s Will’s performance.

Mission Comics and Art’s blog dropped a little rumor 2 months ago** that a wine bar is looking at moving into 988 Valencia, also known as the former prospective American Apparel location:

“This particular landord has two adjoining properties that he’d prefer to lease together, if he can’t do that, lease to two separate business at the same time. Right now, he has a wine bar interested in leasing the larger space with the roll up door, which could be very complementary to my business and another incentive to stay open later then the typical comic bookstore or art gallery for that matter.” (link)

We’ve been hearing this rumor at Mission Mission for a few months now, but no one was able to ever substantiate it.  We’ve even heard talks of indoor bicycle parking at the bar; maybe that rumor is true too?

I really hope they serve Little Boomey.  That would be classy.

** Sorry, I’m such a bad “journalist.”  I should have seen this sooner.
