Mission Mission

A group of teens just spent the last 14 weeks answering this very question, and the fruits of their labors will be on display at a gala opening tonight at the Lab:

Work by Brienne Hong, Shaye Hong, Anthony Truong, Kim Daniel-Richardson, Brendan Conklin, Glenda Maxine Zhu, Sloan Zhu, and Tatiana Ariza.

Music provided by DJ 50Cal

Please join us for the one-night exhibition/arcade, potluck, and celebration of “My Life The Video Game.”

“My Life The Video Game,” is a 14-week workshop where teens design, program, and produce video games, based on goals, challenges, and rules in their real lives. The workshop was developed and facilitated by Marijke Jorritsma in collaboration with the Lab and San Francisco Art Institute’s City Studios program.

RSVP and invite your friends here.

UPDATE: No, no. The question is, when will Bender’s introduce the Mac ‘n’ Cheese Grilled-Cheese Cheeseburger, the cheeseburger with a whole mac ‘n’ cheese grilled cheese sandwich for a top bun and a whole mac ‘n’ cheese grilled cheese sandwich for a bottom bun?

Okay, if shoes on a wire mean you can score some dope on this block, surely a shoe and a Pinocchio means something even more sinister — but what exactly? One shudders to think.

Our buddy Allie put together this genius bit of madness. Dang. Can you imagine if Kanye and Nobunny were to actually collaborate? The world would never be the same.

We wrapped up our liquid brunch adventure at the Phone Booth in the capable hands of bloody maestro Chris Southgate, who calmly took in our order for 40 bloody marys with a smile and went to work.  Utilizing a recipe that included Guinness and horseradish in addition to the normal ingredients we’ve come to expect, Chris served us a simple drink without all the bells and whistles of some of the other bloodys but with a particular zest and freshness that hit the spot perfectly (while also administering an impressive yet cleverly disguised alcohol content).
