Mission Mission

Man, I remember back when you had to be raised by an abusive foster family, hang out with a crazy wizard that kept turning you into animals, and then pull Excalibur out of an enchanted stone to prove you were king of the Britons. But now I guess the Lady of the Lake is just handing these out to anybody.

Tomorrow, January 3rd, Mission Pie will be celebrating five delicious years with their 5th Anniversary Party from 3-8pm. And what better way to start 2012 than to forego any health-related New Year’s resolutions and stuff your face with pie?

Update: Here’s a flyer with more details!

HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEARS ASSHOLES, I JUST PEED OUT THE WINDOW OF A MOVING BUS. [link]

Baller move!

The Summit, that laptop-centric cafe only employed by elite-trained baristas and once thought to be the Mission’s neighborhood game changer, is scheduled to shutter its doors at 780 Valencia on January 28, 2012.

Mission Local has more details, including the following quote from one of the owners of the space:

We at I/O own the building. The Summit was simply our coffee shop vendor. They weren’t able to pay the market rate for rent, so we’re going to have a new vendor in going forward. The incubator is definitely still open and will be having the next group of companies in the new year.

Uh, Gavin Russom released one of the best songs of the year this year, if you ask me. Check it:

And he’s celebrating NYEE with Donuts at Public Works tonight! L.A. Vampires are supposed to be the shit too, and Magic Touch is local and bangin’. Happy birthday, Donuts!

RSVP and invite your friends!

And it was his last delivery before New Year’s, too!  The poor dude is currently trying to unlock the door with a screwdriver if anyone who’s attained enough perks on their Lockpicking skills up to at least an Adept ranking wants to help out.  Extra credit if you’re wearing a Walgreens uniform from the dollar store.  Extra extra credit if you’re wearing an Al Green shirt.

Can’t wait! Ferocious Few and B. Hamilton have both been longtime faves. Together on one bill, Amnesia should be worried its foundations might be rocked to rubble.

Here’s what head Hamilton Ryan C. Parks had to say about tonight’s event this morning on Facebook:

Get your ass to Mars! RSVP and invite your friends!
