Mission Mission

Ever wondered what it was like to be a real roadie? This new web series starring longtime roadie and Mission resident Mange promises to fill us in on everything we’ve always wanted to know:

[Thanks, MC!]

This might work in the lobby of your apartment building, but it will definitely work on the curb out front. Take it from me

“Chicken” because it’s played in traffic. Moments earlier this power forward, trying to recover a loose ball, had charged a speeding minivan. The minivan gunned it, kicked the ball to the curb.

Oh, you bet.

Don’t you love when street art serves a greater purpose? I do.

Bay Citizen caught up with one of the creators of the viral hit and got the full story:

We had done some sketch shows on SF’s foodie culture and the idea about the coffee brand really came to mind. I started seeing ten, thirty people standing in line outside of the Blue Bottle kiosk in Hayes Valley, and I started talking to people who had French press on their desks. And Ritual has been a fixture in the Mission for several years now. The lines that you see outside of these places, the cross between branding and authenticity…it struck us that there was a lot of fun to be had and there was a real passion for coffee in this town.

Read on.

For now…

Next time they get the shai hulud.  In the meantime, it’s off to. . . GG Park?  The golf course?  Where in San Francisco would you need such a vehicle?

A steady, bellowing Gooooooooooooooooooooool emanated from within.

So reads the text on the cap on this old dude in this photo by alapan.

Who will warn what generation of what, though? Normally I wouldn’t care, but, that look in his eye. Makes me think his hat is talking about something important. Right?

Also, great outfit altogether.

We spotted these multi-colored yarn hearts on the chain link fence at 23rd and Valencia while shilling Sex Pigeon T-Shirts Sunday. In a way, this sensitive street artist has more balls than Banksy, since wrapping all that yarn must have taken at least 25 minutes of hard labor. Spray paint and stencils? 10 minutes. Tops.

There I said it, Banksy. Crochet a giant rat into a chain link fence and maybe I’ll change my mind.

P.S. Does anyone still want those shirts by the way? We can drag them out to that same intersection when the weather’s good. Just don’t look at us like we’re the scum of the earth when you walk by like 90% of the people on Sunday did, ok?
