Mission Mission

My budding filmmaker buddy Nico spliced together all the great high def footage he took of the craziness last night and put it over the most appropriate soundtrack imaginable to create the masterpiece shown here.  Although the general consensus seems to be that what occurred in the Mission on Monday night following the Giants’ championship victory was not a riot per se, it’s easy to understand why anyone standing in the vicinity of these shots might be inclined to suggest otherwise.

Take a look and see for yourself to relive the memories over and over again.

Renée here is bummed about all this cheer. “Dear San Francisco Baseball Fans,” she says, “And now, can the hipsters high-fiving marina brahs end? I like my tidy demographics apart and scowling.”

Umm, I’m gonna be presumptuous and say NOPE. Let’s celebrate (and treat each other nice) at least until spring!

But Renée, again, nice pants.

So says local blogger Vic Wong in the description of the short film from whence the above still came. He also uses the phrase, “You’re a pussy.”

And yeah: “The North Beach.”

That previous video left us wondering exactly how many people the car hit, and at what velocity. This video clears all that up. Watch only if you think you can stomach it:

Thanks, JSP.

Well, they’re really trying with this new Windows Phone.  Maroon 5, Fillmore, free tickets, and this hot new street art stencil medium everyone’s been talking about lately.  Just clear something up for me real quick:  Is it legal to spray paint on sidewalks? 

If Banksy or random taggers are doing it, they usually get away with it too unless caught in the act since they don’t leave any identifiable details.  On the other hand, I’m pretty sure Microsoft is still located somewhere in Washington.  SFDPW, you know where to send the clean-up bill.

Who can afford to fight crime in this economy?

P.S. Gwen Stacy or Mary-Jane Watson? I say Mary-Jane. Readheads all the way.

Here’s a 270º panorama I made of the fire truck climbing and dancing crowd.

Still can’t afford the Dolores Park castle? Bummer.

You have two options: overthrow an Argentinean cocaine baron and usurp his operations, or move to Chicago, where an equivalent residence can be had for one-tenth of the cost at $750K. If you ask me, this is a better-looking church-turned single family home. Plus, less people pee on it on weekends.

Sally at Curbed SF says:

Perfect for a new owner with a god-complex, this converted church boasts 39-foot ceilings, pine flooring, a dining nook on the altar, and a gaping central nave. Furnishing that cavern in any meaningful, never mind cost-efficient, way might be quite the challenge, but there’s plenty of space—and city approval—to divvy it up into multiple units.

You do have to move to Chicago, though. I hear it’s a great city and the bridges smell like chocolate.
