Mission Mission

So is this something you have to go to school for, or is it a natural born talent?

My friend Lindsay noticed this sign  and found it more than a little odd.  Now, I understand the not feeding the pigeons part, that’s a given — it’s the second part of the message that worries me.  What other animals are they referring to that live in the Mission, particularly ones that live in or around 16th Street?

Is it giant subway rats?  Escaped monkeys?  Or perhaps El Chupacabra never left and has been roaming the streets terrorizing BART denizens and eating leftover tamales discarded in area trashcans!

[Thanks Lindsay!]

First of all, is Medjool intimate? I don’t think it is. More importantly, I also don’t think hipsters hang there very often.

Reader Wavvy Gravvy points out some other possible flaws in Yelp’s new “Hipster” tag:

Spork, Beretta, Dalva, Zeitgeist, farm:table, Pop’s, Ikes at Lime, Boogaloos, Medjool, Elbo Room, Red Door Cafe ARE ALL HIPSTER

Four Barrel, Ritual, Dynamo Donuts, Delirium, Bender’s, Humphrey Slocombe, Tartine, Foreign Cinema, Delfina, Range, Amnesia, Revolution Cafe, The Summit ARE NOT HIPSTER

Hmm.

But seriously, we apologize for perpetuating all this “hipster” bullshit. Sometimes it just seems like a good idea.

Box Dog Bikes brings word of this bummer:

My buddy Mo just had his Otis Guy Stolen from his garage. Small, black Otis Guy frame set up as a single speed with Velo Orange porteur rack and BMX bars. This bike is very unique and hard to miss! Please let us know if you see it, or take it back and bring it to us!!!!

I don’t have much to say about this, other than that this is yet another great photo by We Built This City.

Mainly I just wanted to post this slightly related blast from the past:

So, Theresa‘s friend had some kind of dream about a Rice Krispie-covered chocolate cake with red frosting, and Theresa made it a reality! What a good friend! (AND, she veganized it!)

I wrote in to ask if it was actually any good. Theresa’s response:

it was the best cake in the universe!!

Anyway, I probably wouldn’t veganize it, but it sure seems like a great idea for a cake. And what’s better than a crazy idea from a dream becoming a real live thing?

Is Tyler the Creator going to take his shoes and hat off and leap into the crowd from high atop a speaker rig?

Only one way to find out:

And they even grab a stage diver and have a quick chat with him. What a treat! Watch:

The Dead Milkmen also announced that they’re working on a new album, and they played a couple songs off it (including one about vegan and suspected terrorist Caitlin Childs), and they were good.

They mentioned excitement over Odd Future several times.

UPDATE: Faithful reader Herr Doktor Professor Deth Vegetable made a correction in the comments:

They RELEASED a new album TODAY. Check out:

Vic is currently in Vietnam, and he’s finding it to be a lot like home: hipsters on mopeds, graffiti, cute dogs, cute fruit, lots of Asians, girl shoplifters with crummy attitudes, ping pong, bike problems, etc.

Doc Pop is onto some next-level shit right here. He calls it “wiggle stereoscopy.” We call it SWAG.

He’s got a couple more, and details on the process, here.
