Mission Mission

Here are the first four panels of a new strip by Julia Wertz:

See what “The Thing” is here. I love this strip.

Have a look:

Thanks to Mother Nature for such a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, and thanks to Storts for taking us on such an epic ride.

They should just open up a bar-nightclub with a sweet roofdeck already. What are they waiting for?

Am I right, We Built This City, taker of this great snapshot?

It’s everybody’s two favorite things, mushed together in a completely unholy manner at long last! Three cheers for Angela‘s friend Jeremy! I love pizza and cats!

According to this person at least.

• The cross-your-fingers bike lock

But really though — big bikes, small cars, what is going on around here?  Isn’t anything proportional anymore?

It’s an age-old question: is it faster to walk or take the 14 Mission bus? Duh, bike. But suppose your bike is in the shop or something… tough call. One Examiner reporter hoped to answer this with a good old-fashioned foot race.

I won’t spoil the ending, but it’s a close one and there is a face punch involved. Was it still worth saving the $2 fare? Probably. Read on at the Examiner.

Our pals at Zambaleta music school are throwing a kick-ass benefit show this weekend, featuring about 20 bands including Foxtails Brigade, Quinn DeVeaux, the Blank Tapes, and Kacey Johansing. Have you heard Kacey’s album? It’s pretty damn incredible.  Also playing is Glittersnatch, a supertrio featuring the best folk-singin’ babes in town: Megan Keely, Wolf Larsen, and Kelly McFarling. Listen as they harmonize prettily on their cover of Kids by MGMT:

If you can’t afford the $5-$20 sliding scale cover, you can also volunteer at the show and score some free class credit at Zambaleta while you’re at it. Read on for the details.

It’s going to be a Mediterranean place, and it’s on Valencia near 20th St.  I dig the arches.

This guy deserves a drink.  He just installed the chandeliers.

Don’t call it south of the Market, north of the Mission, near Potrero Hill. It’s Somisspo.

According to Google, anyway. As our anonymous tipster says:

…it looks like those fellers at google are going on a cartographic joyride.

Not sure where they got that name, but there’s no way the source is as reliable as Johnny0. Hey are you reading this Google? Civic Valley. Make it happen.

[Thanks, anonymous tipster]
