Mission Mission

Pretty!

(Thanks, Shannon!) (Bon voyage, Tegan!)

Thanks, Erin and Jack!

UPDATE: Facebook rectified the situation within a little over a day of my posting this, and wrote in to tell me so. Thanks, Facebook!

That’s what the class was called, man! “IR 361: Terrorism and Covert Political Warfare.” It was popular and well attended. And Facebook wants to DENY ITS EXISTENCE.

Anyway here’s what I went with:

Because I’m a hacker.

Just for goodness’ sake try not to spill any meat grease on it.

Reader Melanie delivers the good news in the comments section of a previous post about pierogi parties:

Pierogies can now be found in the mission!!! Giordano Bros (16th and mission) has three varieties: cheese onin, swweet potato and serrano and jack cheese. yummy yummy in my tummy. check it out!

Yay!

Hidden Paradise Cafe has been operating from within Mission Market for at least several months now, but I’m pretty sure this “BAR & GRILL” business is brand new. Can’t wait to see what’s inside!

(Thanks to reader Chris T. for the pic.)

All this talk about the best burrito in the city seems to have whet the appetite of more than a few folks, including our pal Emily who had some friends visiting and used the opportunity to engage in a blind burrito taste test to systematically decide on the best vegetarian burrito in the Mission (because we all know the best vegetarian burrito in the city has already been crowned).  Sounds like a rad way to spend a sunny day in the park!  Check out the results (including a winner with which we’re quite comfortable) and astute methodology here.

And if you ever happen to get tired of the Mission (I know, blasphemy), Emily’s blog, Butter Date, offers another nice look into hanging out in Oakland should you ever feel the need to traverse across the bay.  Go forth and conquer!

I can’t believe I didn’t know this poster existed. Former Mission District golden boys Two Gallants show poster that looks like a giant Muni transfer! Amazing. Found at Place Pigalle in Hayes Valley.

BONUS: Thomas informs us that they’re playing at The Independent on the 23rd and 24th of this month! [Thanks Thomas!]

This is Jeff Seal btw. He dresses well, he hops trains, he hangs out with Reggie Watts, he acts — and he’s doing standup tonight at Club Deluxe in the Haight around 9PM. I think it’s free, but they don’t do pizza on Mondays

P.S. Another thing Jeff does is urinates on the sides of party buses full of people:

Busted!

Come to his show!
