Mission Mission

(And Max.)

Honey In Yr Brain just returned from a considerable hiatus with a killer breakdown of the problem with heterosexual romance in San Francisco:

Do you understand the LIMITATIONS women have in this city? It’s sort of crazy…..for every one attractive guy who actually has 60%+ of his shit together there are a thousand really great ladies with good style who have %70+ of their shit together. It’s not fair here in my age bracket…so many of us women have to settle for some dude who is just AND I QUOTE (from more than one dude) “hanging out”. Wait..you aren’t going to school? No. You aren’t working? No….I’m on unemployment. For how long have you been on unemployment for? A year….WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO HERE? I tag sometimes…hang out at the park. WOT? Ugh it makes my stomach hurt just thinking about the awful, awful scum single ladies have to deal with in this city.

Read on.

Looks good enough to make a multi-billionaire wait an hour in line for, doesn’t it?

Am I overreacting here or is this a legitimate complaint? Keep in mind this has been going on for months, and I assumed he would eventually figure it out, but the lack of adaptation compelled me to do some playful prodding.

See it bigger here.

This is definitely the sort of thing I like to see when looking for a bit of escapism with my coffee. Right?

Btw, discussion is still going strong in the comments section of our earlier post, “Ritual Roasters and the art of banning art.”

(Thanks, Corntard!)

UPDATE: This is a photo by Corntard of a photo by Julian Cash.

UPDATE: Ugh. This is all so dumb. Sorry, everybody. Here’s a screenshot of the publicly viewable Facebook wall of a guy connected in some way to Ritual:

And lots more here.

It’s called Jesse Michaels Thrash Metal Blog. It might be about thrash metal? Mostly it is rad. Here are the first seven or eight “posts” I think? Spread over two YouTube videos. That’s right. Enjoy:

Some UC Berkeley kids recently interviewed a bunch of San Franciscans for a “story map” project. One subject, a 70-year-old who grew up in the Mission, drew the various elements of the above map and narrates the whole process as well. There’s some interactivity and sound involved, so sit back, relax, turn your speakers up and click here to find out exactly what “the Mission District was…”

Apparently they have rad murals too in Half Moon Bay.  Love the corner perspective!
