Mission Mission

Or best article of clothing ever? You be the judge:

Wow. I get winded from excitement just looking at this crummy picture of it. Look at the placement of the cars! What? What a completely perfect thing!

Here it is again with its lucky owner, Noah:

Go Giants!

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!)

All of Them Witches brings us the good word:

[B]e at Union Square (edit: SAN FRANCISCO) on Wednesday Otober 27th between Noon and 2pm for complimentary drive-by mohawks and braidhawks courtesy of Hot On Yelp participant, Oxenrose Salon.

And…

Male Awareness Day brings us this great ‘hawk shot:

Teamwork!

I mean, if that is what thou wilt.

Seriously though, I’ve never seen a burger look so heroic. And the asymmetry of having standing it on end like that, you’d think it wouldn’t work, but it works. Yum.

Fabulous news! Television historian David Enos has uncovered official (?) synopses from episodes of 100 Van Ness, the SF-based ’70s sitcom we mentioned a couple weeks back. Here’s the first:

“Win Some, Lou’s Son” Lou’s estranged son re-appears.  Candace discovers a new recipe for her specialty, Christmas cake, and the kitchen gets out-of-hand.   Reed finds out that his new job as a Shakespearean actor is no walk in the park.

Man Freckles, a blog about graffiti and partying, quotes the Examiner:

The trial’s defendant is accused hate-monger Katherine Dunbar, of San Francisco, who pleaded not guilty in May to spray-painting swastikas and the phrase “KKKatie” across The City between January and May.

[...]

Opening statements in the trial happened Wednesday. Closing statements could come late next week or possibly the week after, prosecutors said.

Meanwhile, (as of a few minutes ago) KKKatie’s art is still going strong in the Mission…

…as well as elsewhere.

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.

Wow, look at these old motion picture reels of the Sutro Bath ruins we discovered in the vault!  They must be super ancient, like from the 20s or something!  (Click the photos to view the shorts)

Wait, it says here that the facility didn’t even become ruins until it burned down in a fire in 1966!  Perhaps these are from the 60s then?  I don’t know, they seem kind of too old to be from the 60s.

Wait a minute, is that the Cliff House?  Stupid vault!  Anyway, should you find yourself with nothing to do on a nice sunny day, might I recommend that you bike out to Sutro Cave for some Goonies-style speulunking action?  Just be careful not to fall off the cliff!
