Our buddy Suz reminds us of just a couple of the many reasons we should patronize Mission: Comics and Art.

Plus, don’t miss tomorrow night’s big event!

Thanks, Suz!

This warming technique was captured by gonzo street photographer Corntard on Mission Street last night. It looks like it’s definitely working.

And look! The kooks over at Mission Mission on Tumblr have already put together a kickass mashup.

It gets much better. See for yourself:

From the comments section of our recent post about SFPD’s citizen satisfaction survey:

I actually had to fill one of these out after experiencing a nice little taste of a Shotwell and 15th mugging that busted my ankle and foot. The officers on the case were actually totally amazing–spent all night with me at SF General and came to my work several times with info on the case. And they made an arrest about two weeks later. And they were both tall and gorgeous  Have to say–pretty awesome.

Well done, SFPD!

So, this’ll be pretty different.

First of all, JokeSlam takes place at Cafe Cocomo, which is a salsa club way over in a secluded corner of the Dogpatch, and how often do you find yourself at a place like that on a Friday night?

Second of all, look at this poster art. How often do you find yourself at a thing with poster art like this?

Third of all, it combines pro-wrestling and stand-up comedy. What more can be said?

I mean, other than — please look at everybody’s names:

This guy was tearing ass down Hampshire Street last night around 2, leaning on his horn every time he was about to run through a stop sign.

Is that the proper etiquette? You wake me from my slumber and run me over? Also, Potrero would’ve been much faster. What gives? He kept it up for blocks and blocks way off into the distance.

In Portland you can put a bird on it. Funny, haha, whatever.

In the Mission? Put a wad of toilet paper in it! REAL TALK.

Yep. And by this dopey Italian duo no less:

Prepare to be rocked:

The only thing that would make this song better is if I was wearing the nasty shirt while listening to it.

What’s more, it was popularized by possibly THE MOST INSANE TUMBLR I HAVE EVER SEEN. Get lost in that for a few hours why dontcha?
