Mission Mission

Yeah, China was pretty fun.  Definitely not the human-rights abusing pit of despair you hear about in the news (although the internet censorship is annoying but trivially easy to subvert).  I even heard PBR referred to as “The People’s Beer,” which is just skull-fuckingly brilliant.  Also, if you are ever rolling around Hong Kong, there is a delicious vegan dim sum place on Electric rd @ Lau Sin.  The sesame fried dumplings are off the hook.

And check out a solid HK-based street art group/the best cool-kid culture blog imaginable, Start From Zero.  They even host a yearly ping-pong tournament, which should give this blog some inspiration.

Digging this photo from Troy Holden.  The only thing that could have made this better is if the camera he used was a Motorola RAZR.

Dunno how I missed this one 6 months ago.  Fuck ya You Tube comments:

I saw this on Eater this morning and had myself a laugh.  Then I realized this wasn’t a joke and felt bad, kinda like I just laughed at the Mission’s latest special-needs restaurant.  But seriously, what’s up with this place?  Yeah, I appreciate the holiday spirit, but Tuba?  Also, given the plethora of delicious Valencia eateries, no one is going to stop off for food in the place tucked away to the west with a logo made by someone’s nephew who “has photoshop.”

The next chapter of the Rosamunde saga!  Emma sent us this mouthwatering shot of the newly built facade on 24th and Mission.  Peace out, Cafe Arguello!

The chapter after this one will involve them finishing the sign.  Then the chapter after that will outline the restaurant opening.  The shocking conclusion will be you trying a sausage and deciding whether you like it or not.

Though an ambitious effort, this book is crazy boring.

Hear ye, hear ye!  We are very proud to announce that this day of December 23rd, 2009 is Mission Mission Day at The Bay Bridged!

Us guys were pleased as punch to be invited by the Bay Area’s premiere independent music blog to do guest posts re: our favorite local artist and/or album of 2009.

You can view Allan, Kat, and Vic‘s 2009 Bay Area music picks on the BB all day today.  They’ll probably be there tomorrow too, but why wait?  You’re not getting any younger.
