Mission Mission

…and it’s called Square-anoia. Creator Clay Smith explains:

It takes your foursquare checkins and maps them with nearby reported San Francisco crime — so, in my case, I discovered when I went to Mission Chinese last week there were 3 nearby assaults reported.

Hopefully this will somehow increase the relative safety of foursquare users in the Mission.

Hopefully. Try it out here.

Sorry I didn’t get any digital evidence, but DJ Purple just now at Make-Out Room busted out a bangin’ sax solo during a musical break on this classic Vengaboys jammer. I was pretty floored. You’re just gonna have to try to imagine what it was like.

OR, sing “Boom Boom Boom Boom!!” at the next DJ Purple party. (Which, of course, is Thursday at Jack’s.)

Carlos snapped this gem at Diary on Saturday. I gotta start going to Diary more often.

TCB delivers the good news (and anything else you could possibly want):

Sidewalk Juice has too many drinks on their menu each day to list them all online, but they do list the top three smoothies, top three juices and top three kombuchas right here.

The Harrison St. crazy camper van was still here on Saturday. But then again, so are all of us, so I guess that means we’re all equally heathen . Not that we’re surprised.

Anyone know know the owner? I’ve always wondered what a Mexican psychedelic pagan anti-racist satan-worshipping atheist burner looks like.

One person pours, the other person spins the glass. Voila!

Because I prefer multiple.

Here is a genius concept that, like Ghetto Scrabble or cute stray kittens, should be adopted into your own homes: YouTube film festivals! My friend Jerry J just curated and hosted one in his cool Mission warehouse residence. It included gems like these:

A word to the wise: when you are at a party and you are handed a champagne bottle that was sliced open with a sword, do not let someone else pour from this bottle into your mouth! One wrong slip could land you in the ER for stitches. Our hero Casey has demonstrated this as a cautionary tale to you all.

The Fog Bender was on the scene:

the other day i was at the park enjoying the sun and a beer and i heard a “thunk” sound followed by about 15 people all go  “OHHHHH!!”  i look and see a crowd gathering around a guy holding the pigeon which he accidentally knocked out of the sky with a frizbee so naturally i took a couple pictures and shook my head with pity for the poor winged rat.

Wow. That must be a 180-gram tournament-quality Frisbee. I just hope the victim wasn’t our majestic friend from last week.
