Mission Mission

Here’s one of the raddest songs by a local band I’ve heard all year:

And lucky for us, Terry Malts are playing a free show tonight at 8pm sharp at Afterlife. There will also be beer, according to the subliminal messages in this flyer:

Furthermore, as you can see, it’s a benefit for Yes Yes Yes, some kind of rad new magazine. Liz of Yes Yes Yes explains:

The show’s a fundraiser for our magazine’s second issue, and we’re gonna be selling beer and maybe wine and/or some alcoholic punch of some sort (a good one, don’t worry) and will have a computer set up so people can donate to our kickstarter or just an old fashioned giant jug for additional donations.

The aforementioned Kickstarter is here if you’d like to get a head start on donating.

For more on why Terry Malts are great, check out a lovely Bay Bridged feature from a few weeks back right here.

Five dollars for photobooth at the Knockout?  You have misjudged the wealth to ingenuity ratio of your clientele.

One person at dinner was like “I’m not trying to be a perv, but does anyone else think those look like butts?  And then ANOTHER person was like “I just asked my gf the same thing!”  Pretty sassy, Mission Chinese.

Dolores Park Works just published this map along with official details on the closures, which are mere weeks away. And some activity even starts this coming Monday:

Construction workers will be on-site between May 23rd and June 1st installing a new temporary access driveway into the park just south of the intersection of Dolores and 19th Street for use by service vehicles while the main driveway is closed for the playground construction project.  This construction activity will result in the installation of a temporary safety barricade immediately around the area of work. Bauman Landscape Construction is expected to begin staging and performing pre-construction activities during the first week of June.

An interesting point. Taggers, take note.

I have good news and bad news.

The bad news is that Hellen Jo, longtime Mission art babe known for her brilliant illustrations of gnarly ghosts, Lady Gaga, Kristen Schaal, and other amazing stuff, is moving to Burbank to work on Regular Show. The good news is you get to buy all of her cool stuff this weekend:

Yes, I know garage sales happen all the time, but this one has a pretty flyer and you can bet your ass there will be kick-ass comics, crafts, guitars with all sorts of pointless switches all over them, and probably more conventional practical items like toaster ovens.

Also, if you’ve got an eye on Hellen’s bitchin’ pigeon helmet (which will also be up for grabs), you’d better move fast. I’ll bet you’re not the only one:

Here’s the FB page, and craigslist for the sale. It’s Saturday from 12-5pm.

Update:

Cancel the BYOB… KEG.

Karaoke at Jack’s last night was continuously awesome, mostly because of DJ Purple, the classic triple-threat (DJ, backing vocals, saxophone solos.)  But I didn’t feel comfortable calling it “art” until this girl got up there and crushed Sorry Miss Jackson with nary a stutter. In case anyone missed it, she returned half an hour later to close down the bar (lights on) with Nicki Minaj’s latest radio hit (again flawless.)

Cheers, mystery rapper!
