Mission Mission

One of you definitely needs this for that short film about life in the distant 1990s (as imagined in the early 1980s) you’re making, right? It’s in the electronics section at Community Thrift.

While this event may not be directly related to the Kung-Fu Master/Colonial Sanders lookalike/Afro-puff bearded NY mayorial candidate, I think we can all agree that the rent in San Francisco is, in fact, “too damn high”.

The Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco helps you enjoy some of the most tenant-favorable laws in the country, and they are having a benefit at the Makeout Room next Thursday from 6-8:30. The event will feature free 4 Barrel coffee, live music, silent auction, happy hour drinks, and special guests (including Supervisor David Campos).

I guess I wanted to follow that last food post with a counterargument.

Today’s installment of “Things San Franciscans Like” over at the SF Appeal tackles a wily beast — food:

[I]n San Francisco things are a little different. Everyone here knows everything about food. When was the last time you witnessed a San Franciscan open a menu and shout, “Fuck yeah farro!”? If your answer is you’re witnessing it right now, you are correct.

Judging by the chatter I’ve been hearing lately, the Grateful Dead are about to get cool again, so, enjoy:

The gag here is cute, but more intriguing is the question it begs: Has the historic Kahn & Keville sign ever been notably written upon?

(And by the way, tags can be elevated too.)
