Again, 2010 is looking good.

Thrift Stores and Consumerism

Fashionist has been in Montreal for a while, but lucky for us she’s back in the Mission, and 2010 is looking good.

Local Papers Kicked To The Curb

Everyday Photos was on the scene.

Mission Mini Tour

Evelyn is apparently not a professional photographer, but it don’t worry me. A lot of murals, and a lot of other stuff too, here.

This Is Going To Be Adorable

Survival Annex opened the other day on Valencia Street. Our buddy Al tells us “this is going to be adorable,” because somebody named Aurora worked really hard on it, and I’m inclined to believe her because the label on this bag of organic river rock is pretty cute.

I’m out of town at the moment, and it’s too late to call and ask anyone for more info, and the website doesn’t quite make clear what’s on offer exactly. But it looks like that might be a big part of the fun.

Great Party

Hidden Host knows cinema:

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
