Mission Mission

There’s a new playground, a new bike polo court, a new pathway, the old bathroom building is gone, two new bathroom buildings are in, and they’re putting a bunch more benches at the tippity top.

At first this looked like one of those tourist go-carts that takes you on a self-directed tour throughout the city (Anyone ever been on one of those by the way?  What are they like?), but closer inspection revealed that this pair was actually pedaling their craft down the street, as if they had appropriated one of the Stow Lake paddle boats for concrete usage.

Speaking of Stow Lake paddle boats, anyone ever been on one of those before?  What are they like?

Noise Pop and the Roxie present (as part of their ongoing Pop/Rox program) the SF premiere of this behind-the-scenes look at the making of NASA‘s star-studded debut album. Here’s just a handful of folks that might appear in the film:

David Byrne, Karen O, Tom Waits, Kool Keith, Nick Zinner, Lykke Li, M.I.A., Kanye West, George Clinton, Chuck D, Seu Jorge, and the RZA.

Furthermore, director (and NASA member) Sam Spiegel will be IN THE HOUSE! And spinning at the AFTER PARTY!

Here’s my favorite NASA song:

This guy just rainbowed an empty wine bottle into a trash can. I want to buy him a soccer ball.
