Mission Mission

Gifted kindergartner David Enos has produced a stunning animated history of the Doors. The narration, as you can see, is straightforward but haunting, and the depictions of Jim and the gang (and the supernatural oddities they encounter) will leave you breathless.

Watch it below now, or wait and see it on the big screen at next week’s San Francisco International Animation Festival.

This is yet another still from that video we mentioned a minute ago. We felt it deserving of its own post.

Fear the bearded Vader! Fear the bearded Vader!

They seem to have some trouble keeping the camera in focus, but maybe that’s the price you pay for such professional-looking video. Reader Jason S. tells us his personal sob story:

i used to work for the SF Giants in the marketing dept. from 05-08, a time when the giants sucked and employee morale about the team was really low. and now that i’ve left, the giants are world champs!… anyway, my colleague torin made this incredible parade video using the canon 7d.

Bummer for you, Suss! Thanks for the tip though!

And SF celebrities everybody LOVES:

And, we have 50% confirmation Tim Lincecum is down with Redweiser!

The other day I was at Rhea’s and ordered an avocado-and-cheese sandwich on Tartine bread (that’s right, Rhea’s stocks Tartine bread so’s you don’t have to stand in line at Tartine to enjoy Tartine bread), but they were all out! I was so bummed! The other bread was good too, but it was no Tartine bread.

Tartine bread.

Birthday Pony rules! See what happens with this budding romance here.

Pushbike is open for business at its prime new location, and I’m thinking we all might want to swing by for one of these bright, simple tees, hot off the presses.

UPDATE: My bad. Here’s an update about their hours for the next few days.

You might remember this tableau from last week; I was all, “Yeah, you better give me one of those Advils too.”

Anyway, this party did not end well for Dana, the photographer. Get the full story (which includes video shot atop last week’s most famous fire truck — and an epic ending) here. And be sure to read the comments.
