Mission Mission

What happens!?

You see a lot of non-ironic preppy outfits instead of just ironic preppy outfits. Quite refreshing.

Further research revealed that:

1) No, he was not wearing stilts.

2) Does not play professional basketball.

Nonetheless, just imagine the possible angles!  Sir, if you have a flickr account full of birds-eye views, kindly send it our way.

This dude was so busy freaking out all the children with his fancy stilt-work, he had to leash his attack puppy to a fire hydrant to guard the Airstream (and prevent unnecessary hipster maulings).  Yes, it’s being towed by an Acura SUV with a kayak.

Let’s see, I’m just going to categorize this one as “Life in the Mission” and call it a day.

We witnessed most of the most pleasant DJ-police interactions we’ve ever seen in Dolores Park over the weekend.  Look at those wide smiles on the faces of everyone involved!  The whole scene lasted less than a minute, with the officer walking up and having a word followed by the DJs immediately complying.

Everyone must have been pretty techno’d out because catcalls of “Fuck the Police” were muted and sparse.  Or maybe it was just because the sun was going down (albeit epically).

Flickr user mexist managed to capture the last of Bombay Ice Creamery’s refrigerators being carted out onto the street:

Bombay Ice Creamery had to shut its doors due to a couple health violations, but I suspect there are other interests involved since they had such prime real estate. We’ll miss that delicious Kulfi.

So long, Bombay.

Two conclusions from today’s 77-degree day:

• Climate change is real
• Most of you don’t care about football

I happen to walk by this spot a lot, and I’ve even made a post almost exactly like this one in past, but yesterday’s sunset was just too amazing to ignore.  Couple this with our amazing summertime weather while the rest of the country is freezing over, and San Francisco once again solidifies its claim as the most jealousy-inducing location in the United States.  Take that East coast!

Go watch your Superbowl, America.  We’re gonna be outside ALL DAY.

I’ve never had vegan lamb anything, but if there’s anything I love as much as being vegan, it’s eating lamb. And Vegansaurus thinks this is going to be pretty good:

Brand new soup stand, Relais, is premiering tonight (Sunday, February 6th) in the Mission on the corner of 20th and Valencia. They’re serving up vegan lamb soup and it promises to be fucking deeeeelicious because these people are talented chefs for real.

Read on. (Hopefully their narrow time window doesn’t conflict with Glee.)

Daaang! Looks like he was fabricated at the Jim Henson Creature Shop!!!1!
