Mission Mission

Does this work? I’ve tried and failed a few times, but these bros look pretty comfortable. What’s their secret?

Mission Street Food announced yesterday the next step in their great experiment’s evolution: They’re opening a restaurant of their own. And not only that, they want us all to invest! For the low, low price of just $500, you can tell your mom or your http://www.missionmission.org/2010/02/01/mission-street-food-going-full-time-seeking-investors/ friends that you’re an investor in the hottest new restaurant in San Francisco.

I tried to tell Penelope Popsicle that these golden-Beretta-heeled kicks of hers are only almost as good as designer Iris Schieferstein’s golden-revolver-heeled Gun Hoofs, but Penelope retorts that whereas Schieferstein’s shoes are just art pieces, these babies you can actually buy at Shiekh Shoes right here in the Mission!! Awesome point!

Photographer Karoline Collins this morning took us back in time to the summer of 1998 and some kind of punk picnic in which a bunch of Mission kids piled into a van and went up north somewhere to catch some rays and have a swim.

“This is the first time I can remember seeing lots of punk rockers in bathing suits,” says the photographer. It’s a rare sight, right? Happy Friday!!

Our buddy Edward knows best:

I’ve worked out a pretty effective system for transporting burritos from the Bay to Berlin. Now if only I had a proper burrito with which to demonstrate this…

The trick is to keep the burrito upright and protected throughout your journey. So you need a tupperware that is half a super burrito tall and just wide enough to accommodate two burrito halves side by side. Great too if there’s room on top for salsa packs (3 oz or less). Line the tupperware with napkins and remove the foil, but not the paper from the burrito. Cut it in half and set the halves ends-down in the tupperware, then stow it upright in your carry-on, or underpants.

Even if you’re muling a saucy burrito, like La Calaca Loca’s super carnitas, it won’t turn soggy or slimy if you follow this method. Be sure to eat a burrito before leaving California, or it might not last the flight. When you arrive at your destination, crack a Tecate tall boy with your loved one, look at pictures of Dolores park on MM, and enjoy.

Read on for further discussion.

Plus: the late Jay Reatard!!! And actually, JUST KIDDING!! It’s just pictures of these and other rock ‘n’ roll greats performing live. But they’re epic pictures I’m sure, just like last time. Opening reception is this Saturday night!

Check out the event’s Facebook page for photographer bios and more.

Many Machines just hipped us to Los Perdidos, a new short film by a group of 826 Valencia kids. It rules.

Siiiiiiick! Aren’t you worried that if you pour that imp down your gullet it’ll erode your insides and consume your soul!?!?!? I’d be!!!!!!

In Santa Barbara over the weekend I came upon a scene that was like something out of the apocalypse. Waterborne tornadoes had apparently ripped half a dozen sailboats from their offshore moorings and deposited them unceremoniously on the beach, forcing countless joggers to unceremoniously reroute.

I’ve still got The Road on the brain, so I climbed aboard and ransacked their galleys — made off with some choice canned vegetables and a flare gun.

Yep, this one was decidedly different than Mission Mission’s last trip to Santa Barbara. More wreckage after the jump:
