Last call for donuts on Donut Day

So, it seems that on National Free Donut Day when they’re giving away donuts for free you can’t roll up to Dynamo at 4pm and expect there to be anything left.

Luckily, as of right this second, Atlas Cafe still has like four Dynamo donuts left in the pastry case. One stripey one, three strawberry-earl greys. In case you really had your heart set on a nice pricey donut before the end of the holiday. Hurry up!

Oldies Night is tonight!

Mission Mission on Tumblr (mostly a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Mission Mission) yesterday posted an mp3 of a rare track by the Shirelles called “I Met Him on a Sunday (1966).” When Primo played it at the last edition of Oldies Night, it blew minds. All over the dance floor. Expect more of the same, tonight at the Knockout.

Listen to the song in question here.

Hot new look for summer: Big frilly rectangle

Polite ‘thanks for not tagging’ sign tagged

The original note appears to be the work of the same woman and organization that posted that “unfriendly chemicals” plea a couple weeks back. Looks like friendly tactics just aren’t working.

(Thanks, Mark!)

New local music blog launches tonight at El Rio!

Night Fog Reader, our favorite new controversial local music blog, is having an official launch party tonight at El Rio. The event’s Facebook page has detailed details on all the participating entertainers, and you can RSVP and invite your friends.

Here’s a rad picture I took of Ryan Grubbs last fall:

What if your life was a videogame?

A group of teens just spent the last 14 weeks answering this very question, and the fruits of their labors will be on display at a gala opening tonight at the Lab:

Work by Brienne Hong, Shaye Hong, Anthony Truong, Kim Daniel-Richardson, Brendan Conklin, Glenda Maxine Zhu, Sloan Zhu, and Tatiana Ariza.

Music provided by DJ 50Cal

Please join us for the one-night exhibition/arcade, potluck, and celebration of “My Life The Video Game.”

“My Life The Video Game,” is a 14-week workshop where teens design, program, and produce video games, based on goals, challenges, and rules in their real lives. The workshop was developed and facilitated by Marijke Jorritsma in collaboration with the Lab and San Francisco Art Institute’s City Studios program.

RSVP and invite your friends here.

Civic pride

Everybody’s always giving Ohio transplants a hard time, but with this hot lid, Jen ensures no hater will muster the gusto to step to her. Well done, Jen.

Cheeseburger with grilled-cheese sandwiches for buns

Yessir, this is a cheeseburger with one whole grilled-cheese sandwich for a top bun and one whole grilled-cheese sandwich for a bottom bun. Get ‘em while they’re hot, only at the Sycamore.

The question is, is this more decadent than the Mac ‘n’ cheese grilled cheese with jalapenos and bacon at Bender’s?

UPDATE: No, no. The question is, when will Bender’s introduce the Mac ‘n’ Cheese Grilled-Cheese Cheeseburger, the cheeseburger with a whole mac ‘n’ cheese grilled cheese sandwich for a top bun and a whole mac ‘n’ cheese grilled cheese sandwich for a bottom bun?

Little boy lynched

Okay, if shoes on a wire mean you can score some dope on this block, surely a shoe and a Pinocchio means something even more sinister — but what exactly? One shudders to think.

Kanye West as Nobunny

Our buddy Allie put together this genius bit of madness. Dang. Can you imagine if Kanye and Nobunny were to actually collaborate? The world would never be the same.

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."
