Mission Mission

In honor of today being dubbed “Super Duper Day” by Mayor Ed Lee, Super Duper Burgers is giving away FREE BURGERS from 2-3pm at their spot on 16th and Market.

Eater SF has more details here.

GO. RUN. QUICKLY. EAT.

And Cranky Old Mission Guy is seriously thinking about calling the cops.

What gives?

I was hoping for a bacon sarnie.

UPDATE: I’ve been duped. Apparently this was a meme last year. Great pic in any case.

Our buddy Zoë Banks just got back from Africa. This was apparently one of the highlights of her trip.

“DON’T DRINK AND WALK ON THE ROAD, YOU MAY BE KILLED.” It’s poetry. (I mean it must be, since it’s a comma splice, right?)

If you’ve never experienced the magic that is Hard French, the wildly irreverent courtyard party thrown at El Rio on Saturdays, then you clearly aren’t doing this whole “livin’ in the Mission” thing right.  Luckily, this Saturday is your big chance to ameliorate that transgression, as Hard French is teaming up with Stay Gold and Mango to throw the most hella gay dance party afternoon of the year (so far) from 3-8pm.  Not only will there be rad jams and most likely a glitter kiddie pool, but your admission ($7-500 sliding scale) will help save the Dyke March which is in danger of being cancelled this year (and possibly forever) due to serious financial difficulties.  Check out all the deets here.

You’ve been warned, so don’t screw it up this time.

Yep. I was walking down 19th Street earlier, crossed Capp, passed a couple of working girls. Here’s what one shouted to the other as they were parting ways:

SARA!! REMIND ME TO GET A SF WEEKLY NEWSPAPER!!

I hope Sara remembered. (I’m guessing on the spelling there, but the no-H thing just seems right. No judgement.) I wonder if they’re real into Matt Smith, or Dan Savage, or maybe the concert listings?

The point of this post is, I had no idea anyone read SF Weekly.

But I bet all you anti-graffiti trolls are fine with it since it’s a big corporate-sanctioned corporate eyesore on a big privately owned owned thing.

I’m kidding mostly. Particularly if Hendrick’s is interested in sponsoring a popular hyperlocal blog or something.

One of the first big, highly trafficked stories Mission Mission ever had was about a gang of bees attacking the Mission (be sure to click through and dig those crazy pics). This was a few years back. Today, the bees are back.

Says Star:

Just saw a gigantic swarm of displaced bees at 14th & Valencia. It was intense! A plague, I say. [link]

And here Misa explains the picture she took (above):

Below is a shot by SFist reader Blair’s friend Carol. The bees are the dark triangle above the door:

And an even better shot by Squeaky Clean Dave:

Thanks to SFist editor Brock Keeling for the tip (and for linking our original bee post way back in the day). See below for a bunch of followup posts wherein you can learn a ton about bees and beekeeping and being an EMERGENCY BEEKEEPER.
