Food For Thought THIS Wednesday

Hey gang – a brief reminder/update on the Food For Thought event I posted about last week, in case you’re interested…

The event is this coming Wednesday, November 11th.  All you gotta do is eat at one of many participating restaurants that night and BAM! Mission Graduates gets a chunk of skrill and Mission kiddies benefit.

I’m a sucker for babies, food, and babies dressed as food.  Here’s the updated list of participating establishments:

Andalu, Bar Bambino, Bissap Baobab, CODA, Conduit, Destino, Dolores Park Cafe, Farina Focaccia and Cucina Italiana, Foreign Cinema, Front Porch, La Provence, Little Baobab, Little Star Valencia, Maverick, Mission Beach Cafe, Panchitas #2, Pisco, Ramblas Tapas, Range, Regalito Rosticeria, Slow Club, Specchio, Spork, Sun Rise Restaurant, Usulutan Restaurant.

Hipster Scum Wants All Other Mission Hipster Scum to Die

You know this was scrawled by some 20-something art-school dropout (“cuz prof couldn’t teach me shit.  I mean, look at my hella tight typography dude”), who wears plaid and listened to Kyle Andrews before he was on NPR.  No worries duder, “hipster” doesn’t apply to you.  You’re in a league of your own.  When all the cultural weekend warriors move along, you’ll still maintain your 100% unique identity.

Handicapped Parking

After living on Capp St for two years, I rarely do more than glance at what people abandon in the street.  But then there’s this: a perfectly good wheelchair just chilling on the side of SVN, begging to be raced down a slalom of trash at The Park.

Cart Security

Seen today on 22nd Street near Bartlett. I seem to be working on some kind of collection here. Does anyone else care to contribute?

Put a Bag on It

I’ve been digging Dirty Thieves lately.  First off, it is the only place I know of in the Mission that has Stranahan’s Whiskey, which is some of the best goddamn whiskey that I’ve ever had.  Then there is the subject of their death trap of a men’s bathroom.  Not only will you do a face plant walking in there if you are rolling a few PBRs deep, but someone drew a giant vagina on the trash bag covering the urinal.  Even more troubling than the fact someone put their hands near that piss bucket?  There’s actually a glory hole in the middle of that vagina.

Mission Mission advisory to women: you probably don’t want to sleep with any guys that spend more than 60 seconds in that bathroom and look particularly elated leaving it.

Accidental Cement Street Art

All this city-mandated sidewalk repair is creating an infinite canvass for street art that cannot be painted over.  This is the cream of the crop: besides being sullied by “Eat Battery Acid,” I love people’s complete indifference for the soles of their own shoes and that some pendejo, fresh on a trip of not giving a fuck, turned his car around in the fresh cement.

Anarchy in the B of A

Anarchy has  a cool logo, I guess, but I prefer Obama’s Gotham typeface.  Less messy.

Thanks to Rachel for sending.  Photo & title from jerkhaircut on Flickr.

Beauty Bar Raising the Roof

Literally.

Jeff over at Spots Unknown was able to peep the remodeling.  Maybe higher ceilings will help make the place less of a clambake?

Dick Towel

Proof It’s Always Sunny is probably the best show ever made.

I absolutely cannot wait to watch people rolling around Dolores Park with these bad boys on.

Fuck ya

Car Crash on Mission

Ack!  Bit of a SMASH! around 6:30 this morning on 23rd and Mission.  Glass everywhere!

Clare’s East Coast Delicatessen SAY WHAT?

Mike just sent us this hot tip that there is an east coast deli opening up at 17th and Guerrero.  All I know is that “East coast style fun” better involve slamming back cases of Harpoon UFO and watching Irish people have fist fights.

Día del Hombre de Cara Blanca

Yeah, I know we are a little late to the Día de los Muertos picture-posting bonanza, but how about that Michael Jackson memorial?
