Mission Mission

If so, get in touch with your Romeo here.

(Hmm, another clue?)

Want some theater with your beer and salty snacks for a change? Chelsea G. has a deal for you:

I work at Z Space, over at Project Artaud at Florida and Mariposa. We’ve got a play running right now, The Companion Piece, that’s getting rave reviews and want to invite more of our Mission neighbors to it. We were wondering if you might be able to share this discount? For just $10 locals can get a ticket, a beer and a popcorn to any of the four remaining performances if they enter the code “neighbor” when ordering tickets here.

Thanks, Chelsea!

Damn, I can’t believe they hired local tagger Jewish to guerilla market the new Gumby movie!

(Damn, I wish there really were a new Gumby movie.)

Whoa! That’s some mail!

As she came out, the plainclothes guys confronted her, indicated they knew she had something in her purse. She protested, tried to keep walking. They grabbed her, and she kept trying to push past. They were frustrated. They even offered her a pretty sweet deal: “Fine, just give it back and you can go.” But she didn’t bite. Kept trying to fight her way out instead.

So they overpowered her, cuffed her, while the uniformed guy came over and showed her a photo on his iPhone: “Look,” he says, “It’s you.” She’d been busted earlier trying to make off with the same item. And she didn’t even change her outfit for the second attempt.

It’s almost cute, except for that its author clearly doesn’t know how Scrabble works.

This is not ‘Nam. This is Scrabble. There are rules.

I was just sitting down to this highly recommended yam sandwich, when I overheard someone at the next table, a little angry, a little sad:

You know what I’ve noticed? There are a lot of crows in the Mission District lately. It didn’t used to be that way.

Didn’t it? ‘Sup with all these crows? Global warming again?

I lived down the block from Tao Cafe for years and never went in. Mistake!

My new favorite meal is their vegetarian “Spring-to-Summer” rolls filled with tofu and warm vermicelli, followed by the “Sweet Mekong Bass” coconut curry dish, all washed down with a cold Ba Moui Ba. The duck confit (pictured) looks pretty good too.

And check out the sweet view from the front window.

This car should be in an awesome low-key indie movie.

I would’ve rushed over to determine its make and model, but I was eating. Car geeks?

UPDATE: It’s a Corvair. Thanks, FFO. Now, has a Corvair been in an awesome low-key indie movie or what?
