Mission Mission

All of Them Witches explains why this’ll be a great show:

you have nothing to do on wednesday
you like The Knockout
you dig these bands, because they rock
you probably live in the mission anyway

I’m not sure if all of these are true for all of us, but I know we all need a break from Whiskey Wednesday once in a while, and I know Bare Wires are pretty good, and I know we all love the Knockout.

Not that I didn’t appreciate the stuff he did here. But this billboard liberation is just utterly joyous.

On the other hand, though it wasn’t a Banksy, we did have a joyous billboard liberation of our own recently. So we’re not sweating it either.

What a find!

(What a disaster! Good thing two decades later they’re partway done with a solution.)

Up for grabs! Still looks at least somewhat edible!

But seriously, is this guerilla marketing for a hot new food cart concept or what?

Bernalwood is calling this a “dirt fountain,” but I’m not so sure. Here’s hoping it doesn’t find its way down the hill.

Yeah, that was pretty badass when No Age were on Letterman last month. But you know what would be even more badass than that? WINNING free tickets to the No Age show at Rickshaw Stop on February 26th (part of Noise Pop 2011). (Ooooh, and Grass Widow are one of the openers!)

Leave a comment below explaining why you deserve a pair of tickets more than anyone else, and we’ll pick a winner based on merit by Thursday at 5pm.

The Bay Citizen has a little feature up right now about a play called Clybourne Park, about some insensitive white people (pictured) moving into a black neighborhood and being pumped about “its potential.” They sent us a memo because “the play is about gentrification, which of course is an issue y’all are dealing with in the Mission.” Whoa! That’s true!

Read on to watch some clips of the play and its actors discussing their roles.

It’s always fun to visit the Castro once a year or so, right? And this year, it’s for a good cause! RSVP and invite your friends via the event’s Facebook page.

Oooh, and Brock will be there! Brock is tons of fun at parties.

Ramona (not pictured) is moving to New York, and she’s decided her biggest obstacle is the books:

Now, I already sold a bunch of them to a used bookstore in the Mission.  I made $30, which was awesome because as books they meant literally $0 to me.  And yet I still felt all weepy when I was standing at the counter sorting my cash and watching The Fountainhead become something I was definitely never going to read.  I said, “It’s so sad, selling books.” Like I was Zooey Deschanel or something, and the clerk looked at me like I was a dipshit and said, “Why?  There’s always more BOOKS.”

There’s always more books.

Read on to see what happens when she gets home.
