Mission Mission

[Editor's note: At Roger Niner nights, I've sang "Love Is the Drug" by Roxy Music, "Roadrunner" by the Modern Lovers, "People Who Died" by the Jim Carroll Band, "Whole Wide World" by Wreckless Eric, "Linoleum" by NOFX , "Suzanne" by Weezer, "Seasons" by Future Island, and probably lots more I can't remember. Point is, QUITE a songbook this guy has.]

Warm up your pipes. This Friday Roger Niner is back in The Mission… at Pops Bar! And he’s bringing his big ole’ book of rare and unheard karaoke tunes. Find and sing a new favorite or a long forgotten oddity. Karaoke like you never left the basement of your parents house. Check out the songbook and PREPARE!

“I’ll open your mind, shake your ass, shuffle your shizzle, cast you off, reel you in, rent out your heart to a loving couple, make tea in your soul, rake your leaves, find you a puppy, melt your brain, solve your puzzles, get you off The Island, take your temperature, sooth your aching nerves, reach your stars, bend your perception of space/time, AND give you back $0.97 in change, all in the name of Rock and/or Roll BAY AREA KARAOKE! Go epic or go home!” – Roger Niner

Now please enjoy this classic post about some acrobatics on a moving BART train.

Saturday 3pm-8pm, no cover. Here’s the plan:

Aloha! Join team ‘āina on March 12th in the iconic backyard at El Rio in the Mission for the ‘āina Pau Hana, an outdoor Hawaiian-style celebration!

‘āina, a former pop-up and soon-to-be brick and mortar in Dogpatch, is helmed by Hawai’i born and raised Chef Jordan Keao and former La Folie Bar Manager Jason Alonzo and strives to be a love letter to the islands with a strong foundation in Bay Area ethos.

As a nod to our pop-up beginnings, and with the spirit of celebration in mind, Chef has put together a cravable menu of ono grindz (delicious eats) like rice bowls and more, made to pair perfectly with a signature punch by Jason.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Nah, just kidding. I don’t want to know.

Nah, just kidding. It’s somebody’s lost pet we think, and the SFPD were on the scene (haha) and we think maybe it ended up with the SPCA?

(Thanks, Victoria!)

Local fashion blog SF Looks asked Rita about her style:

My inspiration are dark 80s movies like Rivers Edge starring Crispin Glover & Keanu Reeves, all the androgynous cool kids of the 90s mixing and matching fashion genres with effortlessly chic effect like Brian Molko.

Thanks to the tireless work of the blog Man Lines — and also just living in SF and being aware of one’s surroundings — we all know where all the men are: they’re waiting in line for lunch or Four Barrel or whatever.

But where are all the women? Maybe they stayed in? Maybe there aren’t any? Maybe they moved to Portland?

It’s been the eternal question for a while now. Nobody knew the answer — until… I was walking down 19th Street over the weekend and I found all the women:

They’re in line for Radish.

Here’s a closer look:
