Mission Mission

I’d meant to go back later and chuck a brick at one of the wood panels to test their fortitude, for journalism’s sake, but I forgot.

She calls it a “fountain dog” for some reason which isn’t explained. But she does point out that the bacon is a great way to get some extra protein into your kids. Never thought of that.

(Thanks, Emily!)

I finally found that holy grail present for the girl (or, more likely in this case, woman) who has everything! The one thing she doesn’t have is a set of nipple cozies! Because there is no reason for her to have this!

So, if you know this girl and need to get her the final thing in her set of everything, this vintage pair of Niftee Nipple Warmers can be found at Stuff (150 Valencia Street) and can be purchased for $20. I just know she will be so happy because now she will truly have every thing and that is her dream.

Says our pal Teddy:

He was on his way out when I noticed unfortunately. I was just outside the door and heard a girl say “I love your movies!”, then caught a thin black mustache curled up in a charismatic smile pass by, and he was gone.

Well, if he comes back again tonight, we’ll know he’s there for DANCING.

UPDATE!!! Perhaps he was there to see Micro Mtns play that night:

Construction of the Bay Area’s newest launch facility is on time and under budget.

(I think we can all agree this is a better use of the park than the great strip miming travesty of ’11.)

Station SF-420 will be integrated into the Bay Area command and control system by summer.

Stuff some (possibly damp?) toilet paper in the keyhole:

It’s the one on 22nd Street outside Fabric8.

Kai from Mission Bicycle Company has the scoop:

Here are a few pics I snagged immediately after a crazy lady cut down the swing on Valencia across the street from our shop.  When questioned she said “this isn’t a playground.”  It was sad.

I guess that means we all have to grow up now finally.

UPDATE: Further information from our buddy Jake:

Today I witnessed the Valencia tree swing being hacked to death in the prime of its life. A few others witnessed the merciless slaying in broad daylight, and followed the killer around the corner where she clutched the lifeless body. I asked her why she would destroy something that’s brought so much joy and beauty into the world and this was her response: “you’re crazy and you need a shave. You’re probably one of those Occupy people.” She then called 911 and an officer quickly responded to reports we were harassing her. He told us the perp felt threatened by us and then admitted he was unclear about tree swing laws in San Francisco. Nobody was cited and the perp’s motive remains unclear, however she did mention almost being hit by a reckless swing-person in the past which no doubt constitutes premeditation. It’s a minor tragedy for Valencia street and another reminder that Mission will always have an element of danger in the air. We can only hope where one was cut down, many more will grow in its place.

Jake also included yet another gut-wrenching pic:
