Mission Mission

This is a still from a new film by Talent Is An Asset. You will want to watch the whole thing. The soundtrack is great too.

Check it out.

$5 bloody marys and look at those napkins! Not only are they artfully arranged, but they’re also so effortlessly retrievable in event of emergency.

Aspiring bartenders, please take note.

When Sexpigeon split for New York City, he left behind a huge box of rad Muni t-shirts, which somehow found its way into Mission Mission headquarters.

We thought long and hard about what to do with this treasure, and decided to put them up for sale tomorrow at the Noise Pop Holiday Shop. They come in youth large, small, medium and large, and they are rad.

Imagine… You could wipe out all your holiday shopping in one purchase: a 22 for Dad, a 38 for Mom, a 24 for Little Sis. Or maybe one of each just for you. Or 38s for the whole family, Gramps included. Oh, the possibilities! See you tomorrow!

I’m fighting back my gag reflex as I post this.

I bought these gems in New Zealand earlier this year

Anyone in New Zealand now want to help us import a 24 pack of these for the next Mission Mission giveaway? Let’s talk.

Holy smokes, that’s like something out of Alien Vs. Predator! And Bernalwood says they’re all up in Bernal every winter! Holy smokes!

I hope they don’t venture down the hill.

Just look at him!

We should probably all go adopt an animal right now.

And with that, the last remaining liquor store that supplied the treasured liquid is exhausted.

Or is it?

This week’s edition of Necessary Conversation takes a look at how the city’s composting program is being put to use in various neighborhoods. In the Tenderloin they’re composting dead hookers, elsewhere they’re composting other things, but the Mission gets the big perfectly delivered punchline. Watch:

Mission-Based Human Trafficking Ring Exposed!

The party bus pulled into its parking spot and a massive throng of 20-somethings spilled out and began marching determinedly toward their destination.  The obvious thing to do was to see what kind of crazy fun they were up to, so of course we followed them.  From their conversations, it sounded as though they were all European, until we realized we were really drunk and they were just speaking in plain old regular English.

Where was the hot party spot at which they ended up?  Why, El Farolito of course!  The only strange thing was that it was 11pm rather than 2am, which means that it was no Broke-Ass Stuart party bus.  Still, that is one rad looking bus.

Chow posted a very long article on Mission Chinese Food.

One point of interest for me was that it describes the fate of the beloved Chinito. My mom’s theory, being a Chinese restaurant owner herself, was: “It was probably just a pain in the ass to make.” However, it turns out the “Chinese Donut” element of the dish had to be purchased in the morning in Chinatown and they just didn’t feel right about serving it after it had been sitting out all day.

Read all about the chefs, their spicy-as-fuck food, their weird relationship with Lung Shan, and more over at Chow.

Update:

Oh hey, Chow also has the recipe for Chef Bowien’s Explosive Chicken Wings. They claim it’s better than it’s inspiration, from Chinatown Szechuan joint Z & Y. A bold claim!
