Mission Mission

Are you itching to party in San Francisco’s arbitrarily-named neighborhood Somisspo? Well Bikes and Beats is going down there this Friday at Public Works. ‘Deep, who you know as the guy on the speaker-loaded tricycle, will be among the many DJs of the evening, so expect such crowd pleasers as MJ’s “Don’t stop ’til you get enough” . There will be eats, prizes, and bike crafts.

If you want to make a whole night of it, the event takes place at right after the Friday 7:30pm SF Bike Party, AKA the “nice” Critical Mass with bouncy castles. And don’t worry: there will be bike valet to handle the venue’s dire bike parking situation.

And it’s going to become some kind of day school. Curbed SF reports:

The space will be used for the Children’s Day School’s middle school, plus a large gathering/performance space which it plans to make available to community groups [...]

That last part seems cool. Read on.

The main thing is, does “Allan’s Bi-Monthly Ping Pong and Berlin Techno Mixer” qualify as a community group?

UPDATE: The school already has an official website.

This shot comes from a Flickr account called MUNI – BETTER LATE THAN NEVER that’s full of tons more old shots like this. But I like this one especially. It’s like we’re there. A million years ago.

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.

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.
