Mission Mission

My pal Katie Cruz is directing a one woman show written and performed by Veronica Mannion called Booze, Boys and Brownies: A Musical Journey. She plays 13 characters!

Showing December 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th & 11th at 8pm at the Exit Theatre. Tickets are $12 at the door and $9 online. (cheap!)

Check out the teaser and have a connection.

As you may know Justin Beck has a thing about taking pictures of people in front of street art. This time he captures the cutest disaster ever.

Or is this a new experimental form of LASIK surgery?

We heard the shots and then some of us saw an African American man with a mustache lying on the ground who had been shot in the head and in the chest. CPR was administered, but it was too late.

Mission Local has more.

Please be safe out there.

And it tastes like coffin water.

You just have to show up.

If you’ve made it out to Julie Michelle’s I Live Here: SF show you have probably noticed that there is a Muni bus shelter in the room. The show’s still up, and the amazing pics are accompanied by Chris Rusak‘s really cool interpretations of the writing from the project, as well as some gems from SF archivist Rick Prelinger‘s massive film archive.

This Wednesday, 11/17, from 5 to 8pm, Muni Diaries is having a three hour happy hour where they’ll be recording your Muni tales for something called the Muni Time Capsule.

Rare opportunity. Go vent for the ages. SOMArts is at 934 Brannan Street.

Check out the newest piece from Strike Anywhere Films. A mesmerizing music video that takes place on our very streets. 24th Street, to be more specific. Florence Hartigan sings “Paris” by Friendly Fires.

Hint: you’re going to want to click on the bottom right button to watch it fullscreen. How do they get that zoom so smooooth??

Notice how the amber colored haze of our pollution as it wafts across the bay to Oakland gives it a nice Tony Scott-like feel at the top of the frame.

Bonus! Check out this rad spec commercial they did. Simple and with perfect timing.

There’s also a good plate one that someone else has somewhere out there. If you want to come out and doodle next time check Doc Pop’s Tweets for the next alert.

Getting too close at Benders.
