Mission Mission

Somebody left this in reader Chad V’s bar last night:

Says Chad:

We all shit ourselves at the “plan chest piece” entry.

No doubt. Thanks, Chad!

Did you know that stand-up comedy, as we know it, started in San Francisco? It’s true! According to Joe Rogan on Episode 161 of the WTF podcast, anyway. He credits it to when Mark Twain first started giving hilarious speeches filled with wit and biting social commentary around town. Without Mark Twain, no Gallagher. Think about that.

Anyways, the other day I passed by Mission comedian Chris Garcia in the street, jumped in front of him, and blurted out, “CHRIS GARCIA!”. After this, I had no follow up other than a crazy wild-eyed stare. He looked at me a bit terrified. I followed up with, “Umm, yeah, sorry. I’m Vic from Mission Mission.”  He was like, “Oh hey! You should come to the Business this week. It’s our 2-year birthday.”

The Business is a weekly comedy showcase at the Dark Room featuring Chris, Sean Keane, Alex Koll, and Bucky Sinister. They also feature out-of-town comedians passing through.Why not take part in the rich history of San Francisco comedy and check them out tonight? The show starts at 8pm. Here is the event page.

Also, Chris Garcia (as Dr. 4:20) wishes you a happy day:

Fresh & Easy spanks Whole Foods to advertise their Richmond District store on a billboard at 16th and South Van Ness.

When asked about his discriminatory treatment, the puppy dejectedly replied, “I thought they would be happy sashimi.”

Possibly still available at Mission: Comics and Art.

Not only was La Lengua the subject of a newspaper article yesterday, it also made its debut on the local news. CBS 5 talks to Burrito Justice and a few other La Lenguans, and gets a lengua taco at some place called “Taqueria Can-Can.”

Watch it here.

That just ain’t right.
