Mission Mission

Valencia and 22nd. I know it was a nice this weekend, but have some pride people.

(Unless there’s a keg in the center of that thing. Then that’s a different story entirely.)

Are they slaves chained to it like a greek trireme, prowling the Mission for targets to ram?

Or tourists that were told “hey, everyone in the Mission rides like this.”

Is Muni’s new cost savings plan?

MrEricSir saw another group of victims on 18th.

I simply do not think my brain could handle pedaling in a direction different than my velocity.

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!!
