Mission Mission

UPDATE: Yep, uh-huh.

But we should still probably try to save for retirement, right?

You know, the one with the awning. Check out Lizzy‘s review:

I just went across the street to see what’s up with the new bakery. As I came out I was startled by someone yelling, although that’s not an unusual thing to encounter outside my house.

A man with long, scraggly hair, a toothless mouth (I was going to write grin but it wasn’t accurate), and matching leather jacket and pants was riding a bike down 21st Street. When I say riding, I mean he was sitting on the seat with one hand on the handlebars, propelling himself with one foot on the ground like a skateboard rather than pedaling, and swerving wildly. He was using his other hand to hold a cell phone and screaming into it: “YOU FUCKING BITCH. YOU’RE DONE!”

Read on for the verdict on the coffee and pastry.

This man is a professional. Do not try this anywhere. But do watch the whole thing:

Check out this gem of a Craigslist personal that lays it all out on the table from the get-go:

Let me be clear. I want a girlfriend. But, I don’t really want a girlfriend.

I just want one for the holidays.

I mean, you don’t want your parents to know you’re still hopelessly single, right?  Read on to see if you have what it takes to provide adequate company “on these witch-tit-cold San Francisco nights.”

It’s called Mission Mattress. And it’s not just doing updates about itself; it also covers such other Mission favorites as cannibal pigeons, shoe piles — and Occupy Oakland.

(Thanks, Cristina!)

UPDATE: There’s a Flickr group covering similar territory.

Have you ever felt something deep down within but just didn’t have the words to describe it? Apparently you’re not alone, as a new reading series dubbed Clattering Loom aims to examine those very feelings:

Clattering Loom is a quarterly reading series that focuses on one untranslatable phrase or word from a language other than English that expresses something for which there is no singular definition in our language.

For the Autumn installment, we have chosen the French word “dépaysement,” which translates loosely as: the feeling from not being in one’s home country; a change of scenery, unexpected and new horizons.

It’s all going down this Sunday from 12-4pm at Gallery 4N5, and there will be readings from the likes of Maisha Johnson and Jonathan Hirsch, as well as music by Tiny Home, not to mention everyone’s favorite frybread purveyor Rocky Yazzie coming through with a special breakfast version to soak up the $3 mimosas.  It’ll be the perfect FREE rainy day activity, even if it’s not raining!

RSVP to the Facebook event page here.
