Mission Mission

From the “talent gigs” section on Craigslist:

Starting a carnival: Looking for weird ass people (mission district)

Are you weird?

Were you born with webbed toes? do you eat fire? are you a midget with a strange skill? Are you a man with a normal sized body and one huge bicep? are you a 7 foot tall woman with gigantic boobies? do you have two noses?

If any of the things mentioned above ring a bell, or if you’re just plain weird…then we want you!

Why? Because we’re starting a carnival. In the Mission. Preferably at Dolores park.

We need performers! Look, the economy sucks, so if you’re not up on the modern man’s hustle (aka startups, aka taking money from rich people to sit in the Summit all day and look for yourself on missed connections) then you’re probably sitting in Dolores Park doing nothing but drinking PBR and smoking weed. So why not get paid in PBR and weed for what you’re already doing for free?

Here’s your chance. Be weird.

• it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
• Compensation: PBR, weed, grilled cheese, or whatever else the citizens of Dolores park decide to pay us in.

Talent is an asset! As is having deformities!

I would definitely pay somebody a grilled cheese for the chance to regard their pair of noses.

Talent Is An Asset stumbled upon this little pigeon theater troupe gearing up for a performance in their little ramshackle playhouse.

Looks like it’s going better than that Spider-Man thing.

The disco era sure was a different era.

Love and Kisses kind of sucked:

Beware out there!

(Thanks, Malcolm!)

This wall can be found in the bathroom at Project One, site of last night’s epic Ocean Spray show.

This is how they do it on Polk Street at 7:45pm on a Saturday night I guess.

It’s time to move on, but you’re not finished with your chardonnay, so you take it with you, out onto the corner, and try to finish it up while your boyfriend hails a cab. Cab comes, you discard your beverage — and it’s on to the next destination.

The party starts in a couple hours, down at Mission Workshop:

The event will feature amazing food, cheap beer, a silent auction, a raffle you don’t want to miss! (bikes, gift cards, Beauty products, tickets to SF events, gift cards for some of our favorite salons, Mission workshop goods….just to name a few!!!)

There will be live art by Max Ehrman and a DJ too famous to even tell you their name!..as if the raffle wasn’t enough!

There will be a silent auction including: Leader frame and fork, Masi bicycle frame, bike tours by Stoked SF, $40 Falletti foods gift card, Chuey hats, Bumble & Bumble gift basket ($100 value), Mission Workshop messenger bag, Hambone bag, poster by Bikes and the City, coffee by Bicycle Coffee Co.

A DJ too famous to even tell us their name? I bet it’s DJ Jazzy Jeff!

More information here. RSVP and invite your friends here.

Our pal Joshua checked out the free jazz show at Explorist International and had this to say:

At one point a dog wandered in, the drummer paused to pet the dog and the other musicians sorta filled in for the missing beats only to have the drummer jump back in at the right moment, free jazz at it’s best.

Hear that jazzbos? Don’t let a little thing like “being in the middle of a performance” keep you from taking care of business. Work it into your solo. Read on for the full typo-ridden review.

Good news for ice cream fans: Humphry Slocombe is working on a book of their ice cream recipes. That means you’ll be able to make your own Secret Breakfast (corn flakes and bourbon ice cream, duh) at home.

Wait, you can make ice cream at home? Yup. Apparently the recipes will show you how to do it using a $50 Cuisine Art appliance you can pick up at a department store. The book comes out in about a year, which is only slightly slower than actually waiting in line at their store.

Does this mean a Jasper Slowbrushe recipe book is to follow? I’ve been dying to crack the code behind their French Fries & Durian Aioli flavor.
