Mission Mission

1. LA DOLCE VITA! Saturday afternoon at the Alamo Drafthouse, as part of Negroni Week 2016!
2. PITCH PERFECT! Saturday night in Dolores Park, as part of this year’s Film Night in the Park programming!

Woohoo!

My wish came true! Let’s all be sure to eat dinner there a lot and maybe they can expand to more than just Friday-Sunday, am I right?

Now please enjoy all this previous (and sometimes controversial) St. Francis Fountain coverage…

Shaking hands with local politician Tom Temprano no less!

Our pal Mike Keegan (the man who runs the formerly abandoned New Mission Theater down the way) stumbled upon an open door on his way to work today:

Construction crew said they were scoping out plaster removal, so I have zero idea what’s actually going on in there in the coming weeks/months/years, but the FOR SALE sign is off the marquee, as is that “coming soon: mission cinema school” banner.

Drinking for charity, now you’re talking! All week order a Pops Negronito shot benefitting neighborhood favorite, The Brava Theater Center. BRAVA produces, presents and cultivates the artistic expression of women, people of color, youth, LGBTQ and other unheard voices in the mission. So do your part, down the Negronito shot and ease the soul with navy strength gin, campari, doling rouge, orange bitters and a chili salt seasoned orange slice. Your body and soul will thank you for it!

Check out this week’s full entertainment line up at Pops Bar:

(more…)

And on the big (huge) main screen at the Alamo, in 35mm!! The screening is tonight at 10:10pm, one time only, and there are still some great seats left!

It’s a road movie, from the very early ’70s, and I think it’s best if you don’t know any more than that. Just go see it!

The Planning Commission approved the largest housing development in the history of the Mission District Thursday night, despite over four hours of passionate commentary from residents and artists who said the project would continue to squeeze working families and artists out of the neighborhood.

Over the past year, the so-called Beast On Bryant at 2000-2070 Bryant St. has become a flash point for what most San Franciscans agree has become a crisis, the impact that an extreme influx of wealth and speculative investment is having on a neighborhood famous for its arts and working-class Latino community.

Local artist Gina explains:

Hahaha some fool on a fixie just did the fixie skid across the street from where I’m sitting eating my burrito but he timed it with the beat drop of the dub step he was blasting. I hate Valencia street
