Mission Mission

In case you were wondering how I really messed up my shoulder.

15th and Guerrero

MM reader Brooks H. just got finished helping with all the neat Shop for Japan stuff to help raise money for tsunami victims when he rudely discovered that karma isn’t always cut and dry:

After raising ten grand for japan, my beautiful all white bianchi  got stolen. One AM last night at 17th and mission they clipped my lock. There’s not another bike around here like it.

Let’s all do Brooks a favor and keep an eye out for this exotic bicycle.  These things are rare!

From a graphic design perspective, obviously the Muni logo is a winner. And Muni is pretty great in a number of ways. And tattoos are cool. What’s not to like?

Muni Diaries has this and a few more in a gallery of Muni-celebrating ink.

(Thanks, Sally!)

So says this new poll by Mission Love Advice anyway:

It’s true so far as I know. Click here to vote (and read a bunch more probably accurate, possibly funny stereotypes).

Blood, Bath, & Beyond Day is a “metal generator show” at Potrero del Sol this afternoon from noon to 5:30. Facebook says there’s a free bag of Cheetos for the first 30 people to show up, but it’s BYO soda-pop.

Look at how beautiful it is outside! You know you could use a quick break from Dolores.

[Thanks, Lorenzo!]

It doesn’t feel like Office Max is too concerned with the presentation of their new logo.

Available from Inna Jam at a number of local spots:

ultra fresh albion STRAWBERRY jam (cooked on Tuesday) made from organic strawberries grown in Watsonville now available in San Francisco and the East Bay! the albion varietal features big strawberry flavors and makes a very classic tasting strawberry jam – this the “childhood” strawberry jam.

Childhood was awesome! Can’t wait to try it! Learn more (and see where it’s available).

The annual Cesar Chavez Parade starts at 11am on Saturday at 19th and Guerrero, and culminates at 24th and Treat for a big block party with lots of food, music and crafts.

So besides having a nice little Saturday out being festive and whatnot, what does this mean for you? It means watch out for those pesky paper “NO PARKING” signs that seem to pop-up when you’re not looking and then your car gets towed, when just yesterday it was totally cool to park there and now you’re out $400.

But seriously, block parties are awesome. Bring on the BBQ!

Every month we take a walk down memory lane with Mission Mission posts from years past. Yeah, we were supposed to do this on April 1st, but we were too busy posting unfunny April fools pranks. Sorry.

2010

• Son, you don’t know how good you have it. There are old dudes in China who can’t even get fixies. Now master that skid stop or go to your room.
• Some dude tried to undersell the Cold Beer Cold Water man, and was never seen since. Did CBCW order a hit on him?

2009

• Scantly-clad midday walk of shame babe gets Mission Mission the most hits of all time and oh why bother saying anything else, you already clicked this link, pervo.
• Just like a TV, never try to give away a pig’s head on the street unless you want it to get tagged.

2008

• El Toro’s exterior was renovated and we were like, “woah, that looks weird,” but now we’re all, “wait, what did it look like before?”
• One of our writers actually used to hang out at Medjool and complain about all the douchebags, but that apparently didn’t stop her from going there, like, all the time.

2007

• Nothing happened in the Mission in April of 2007. My theory is that the neighborhood entered a cosmic wormhole and stopped existing for a month. Where is Carl Sagan when you need him?

Jetpacks are the way to go when shooting hoops, trust me.
