Mission Mission

Predicts fog for the eastern half of The Mission.

Famous people are always invading our favorite Mission food spots these days.  Whether it’s Lady Gaga at Rosamunde (or El Farolito) or Steve Jobs at Flour and Water, celebrities seem to constantly be seeking that “edge” with their suppers.  Perhaps that validates all the rest of us who live here, or maybe it just makes us trendy.  Not Dave Chappelle though.  He just really likes Indian food, and Pakwan has really good Indian Food.  (One time I saw Sarah Silverman at St. Francis, but all she ordered were egg whites.)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about this fellow in the limo outside our “it” donut shop.  Whoever it was obviously forgot to consult Sexpigeon, the undisputed expert of Mission donut appreciation.  Aw, now I miss that guy.  New York does not deserve him.

Look at these cool looking Swedes! Fashionist managed to snap some pics and chat them up a bit during their visit to the Mission. Now let’s all put on some Little Dragon and read all about it.

It was reported a couple weeks ago that the old Delano’s space was close to becoming a Fresh & Easy. Now it appears there’s a new possibility. Reader Lisa C. explains:

Heard from Supervisor Campos’ office last week that there are bids in
from two places to lease the building that was Delano’s: a place
called FRESH AND EASY and then one called Grocery Outlet.

They both seem kinda weird but the latter seems less desireable from
what I’ve heard.  Apparently the contact person in the Mayor’s Office
is Lisa Pagan, in the office of workforce / economic development or
something like that.

I wonder when the public hearing is?

Yes, I wonder.

If so, get in touch with your Romeo here.

(Hmm, another clue?)

Want some theater with your beer and salty snacks for a change? Chelsea G. has a deal for you:

I work at Z Space, over at Project Artaud at Florida and Mariposa. We’ve got a play running right now, The Companion Piece, that’s getting rave reviews and want to invite more of our Mission neighbors to it. We were wondering if you might be able to share this discount? For just $10 locals can get a ticket, a beer and a popcorn to any of the four remaining performances if they enter the code “neighbor” when ordering tickets here.

Thanks, Chelsea!

In case you were wondering about what all those crows have been doing in the Mission lately, it’s obvious from this flyer that they’re raging about the Alcoholocaust show at the Knockout tonight.  If you’re not doing anything on this fine Tuesday evening, check out my band La Corde at one of your favorite Mission bars/venues.  We’re playing last after two-piece punk brigade Culture Corpse and Oakland stalwarts High Castle, so come on down and check out some local tunes (but please leave the Marina party bus at home).

Damn, I can’t believe they hired local tagger Jewish to guerilla market the new Gumby movie!

(Damn, I wish there really were a new Gumby movie.)

Whoa! That’s some mail!

Country Music Television, an undeniable authority on the discipline of stand-up comedy, has chosen SF’s own Sean Keane as a contestant! Now, I’m not sure how “country” he really is, but he does have a joke about mullets.

Sean Keane performs every Wednesday at the Dark Room theater on Mission and 18th as part of the Business along with Chris Garcia, who you’re already a fan of. A bunch of us went last week and let me tell you, it’s the best $5 you’ll spend on a Wednesday. Ok, second best.

Here he is doing a bit on the SF Giants:

Vote for him here, because the rest of those contestants don’t even live anywhere near you.
