Mission Mission

This is not a sponsored post or anything. I’m just pumped that we’re all no longer stuck with plain ol’ black and orange! (And just in time for Bike to Work Day!)

Pushbike has all of these and more in stock right now, and you can buy the whole lock or just the skin. Read all about it and then head on over before closin’ time, which is at 6:00.

I like to stay home too, but I’m probably going to go to California’s scenic Central Valley on Saturday to see R. Stevie Moore headline Operation: Restore Maximum Freedom XI. It’s an all-day rock festival organized by a free-form college radio station, and it takes place in the sunny, grassy backyard of a real live Roadhouse-style roadhouse. The burgers are great, the veggie burgers are great, the beer is cheap, and the rest of the lineup looks fun too:

R. Stevie Moore (Tennessee)
Zach Hill (Sacramento)
Appetite (Sacramento)
NOBUNNY (Oakland)
Ellie Fortune (Sacramento)
Charles Albright (Sacramento)
The Rain in Endless Fall (Santa Cruz)
Moonpearl (Irvine)
Alak (Placerville)
Kites Sail High (SF)
Produce Produce (Davis)
UC Davis Samba School

The Bay Bridged has a few more details here. Who’s in?

And as usual the SF Bike Coalition is geared up to make it a good one.

Find an explanation of the above map of energizer stations and commuter convoy depots here. And learn more about the rest of the day’s festivities here.

Most importantly, bike to work tomorrow! (I’ve got a couple extras if somebody needs a loaner.)

I love them! But are we still supposed to boycott Coors because they’re anti-gay or something? Coors rules!

Now let’s all listen for the “fingerless gloves” lyric:

Creep Draws explains the good news:

Now that is a good looking fridge. 24th and Folsom liquor store 12 pack for 13.50!

Hot deal! And this from a blog whose mission statement reads:

I am tired of reading blogs about messenger bags and the mission. I am tired of seeing pictures from the internet that someone else re-blogged for the 4th time. I don’t want to be that. This blog will consist only of things that I draw in my sketchbook while the bus.

Thanks for turning your back on your dreams and coming over to the dark side! Racer 5 for all!

The Bold Italic today shares some stories about the Eagle, from a handful of the folks who knew it best. Here’s some of why head Oh See John Dwyer loved it so:

No other bar in the city had the Eagle’s ambience — the whole place looked like it was hewn from stone by a sweaty man with his bare hands. t was the best. It was so raw and minimal. Every experience I had there is my favorite memory of being there.

Read on for one fine example, and a bunch more stories from other Eagle regulars.

[Thanks, Brock!]

This is one last reminder. Attend Uptown Almanac’s Locally-Sourced Pop-Up Comedy Night tonight (like in 90 minutes) at the Roxie… because Mimi:

[Thanks, Pearl!]

Mary delivers the good news in a post titled NEW NAME FOR THE CROTCH AREA:

“grindquarters”

Let us rejoice!
