Mission Mission

Pretty sure that’s not his bike . . .

Not sure why these just got opened at 5pm, but the collective park celebrates the fact.

People go into Dolores Park Cafe and leave their dogs outside. Right?

Or is it an unsavory remnant of this?

Preliminaries will be held this evening in Dolores Park.  Singing and swimwear competition tomorrow at Benders and Zeitgeist.

Last weekend I decided that I really love garage and sidewalk sales. In two short days, I scored a first pressing of “Rat On!” by Swamp Dog, a OneWorld Merlin Digital Lifestyle Solution, and an ethnic baby for two dollars total. Not a bad haul.

To help support my habit, I have added a sidebar widget for craigslist postings of garage sales in the Mission area. It’s good for you and good for the sellers. Scroll down to the bottom of the Mission Mission main page to see it and map out your route for Saturday morning.

In addition to the already mentioned Music Flea Market on 19th and Florida, here are some highlights:

• PORNO AND PROJECTORS WHICH CAN HYPOTHETICALLY BE USED FOR VIEWING PORNO – Chavez b/t Folsom and Harrison
• Make him an offer he can’t understand! – ???
• Bethel Christian Church Ginormo-sale – 1325 Valencia St

Go to it, scavengers. And save some junk for me.

Either that, or the bike got hit by a car. What is it with drivers this week?

Reader Jack, fills us in:

just snapped this shot while biking home from work today. This was on 16th between Guerrero and Dolores.

Andy B. says:

awesome BMX stack outside katz bagels/pizza last night [...] That guy in the green jacket is one of the bikers. most of the crew was inside eating pizza. he explained that nobody carries a lock and the stack is an effective theft deterrent.

This would probably work with MacBooks too, right? Let’s try!

Thanks, Andy!

Did you get a load of this guy last weekend? Excellent color coordination, classic headwear, and Mission-approved beer selection. Dude has the whole package.

BTW make fun all you want. He just moved to Brooklyn and is therefore dead to us.

Duuude! This is a fast pass from the month of my birth! Everything from January ’81 is raaaad!!

Fact: hot women who play music are, um, really hot. Bonus points if they aren’t just strumming on a folk guitar singing about boys the’ve broken up with. Give me a cello, accordion, and mandolin over that any time.

La Gaîté is on tour from Amsterdam and they will be playing at Revolution Cafe tomorrow night (Saturday, June 5) starting at 9pm. This is somehow appropriate since all the stoners who hang out on the patio of the Rev make it the closest thing to Amsterdam that we’ve got.

Check out this video of them demonstrating their musicianship to great effect (while wearing French maid outfits):

If you miss ‘em, you can also catch them at Armando’s Sunday night, but that would require going to Martinez, and I’m not entirely sure I know where that is. They will also be playing the big gypsy jazz fest in Mill Valley next week.
