Mission Mission

Our pal Nick hipped us to this mystical Buster Posey Dreamcatcher shirt (get it?) he recently designed shortly before Buster’s last game (if you believe the docs) this season.  In case you haven’t heard, San Francisco’s favorite Rookie of the Year went down last night with what looks to be a season-ending injury.  Fortunately, this clever pun can now be worn as a get-well-soon homage by all of his concerned fans.

Nick’s offering them for just $20, so to get a jump on the next big fashion trend, get in touch with him over at creamydesignsllc@gmail.com.

We’ve already been on top of a fire truck and on top of Muni.  Who cares if it’s a few weeks later; this city just can’t get enough of their first World Series victory!  These guys even went so far as to snag some Public Works vests so no one would suspect them.

All jokes aside, this looks like a pretty entertaining job.  You get to ride all over the neighborhood during beautiful days* and have hipsters on fixies take photos of you.  Someone has to make sure all those Muni lines are functioning properly, lest all hell break loose.  They really get around, too!  See, here they are stopping for some Arinell on Valencia:

*I would be seriously surprised if they had to do this in the rain.

MM reader Kevin had the opportunity to see what it’s like to look through Brian Wilson’s eyes, or at least during the Giants championship parade this past Wednesday:

My company  sponsored a float at the giants parade and I got to ride on it…  took loads of pics and video.  Thought you might enjoy seeing/posting a video that shows the experience from the perspective of being in it…  it’s pretty insane…

Can’t wait for Lateral Geniculate Nucleus implant technology to reach the point when we can actually look through Brian Wilson’s eyes while he pitches the final strike of the World Series.  Science!

While the cab was trying to get away (albeit very slowly) down Valencia at 16th.

I’m all about Go Giants, but we kind of lost it a little bit tonight, guys.  I mean, someone got stabbed and we set a bunch of shit on fire.  Keep it classy.  Act like you know.

1.3333333 ad infinite innings to go!

Check out this studly Gigantesmobile parked outside of Parea at 19th/Valencia – what better steed to carry SF’s boys in orange to victory today?

There’s something missing though….

There we go!
Also, GO GIANTS!

Uh oh, less than one hour to go before the first pitch!  Almost time to break out the Rally Kitten!

PS.  Please do not make fun of the Rally Kitten for having a weird tiger nose or a head that is seemingly too large for his body.  He is already starting to develop a complex.

Kristopher sends us word (and a pic) of some exciting (albeit admittedly unexpected) news:

This just in! Pop’s installed a new, huge TV! That makes three, which is closing in on sports bar territory, making the Phoenix proud. It’s probably for easier viewing of the Golden Girls, or maybe even the World Series, who knows?!

Naw, it’s probably for watching old reruns of MTV’s Headbangers Ball.  Either way, add Pop’s to the list of places to watch the Giants in the Mission!

(Thanks Kristopher!)

Mission Bicycle is getting into the spirit:

Everything in our window is Giants orange. Including a special bike that Esther built on Sunday to celebrate our victory. Hours later it caught the eye of JackJones.com who was in town to for a photo shoot. So whoever buys this bike get’s a set of beautiful professional photos. This baby should be $870 but if the G…iants win on Wednesday, we’ll let her go for $799. 59cm frame. First come first serve.
