Mission Mission

DocPop just scored some rollerblades. Remember those? Well does the hit SEGA game Skitchin’ jog your memory? Thought so. Anyway, that means he’s heading to Cellspace’s skate night this Tuesday. Maybe you should too, if you’ve got a pair and you’re into synchronized dancing:

Back when I was growing up in Modesto, CA, our yearly reward for being above a 2.0 GPA was a trip to Roller King. I can still remember the bruises from repeatedly falling on my locker keys, but rolling around in a big circle to Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters and couple skating with Gabrielle made it totally worth it. Skating is fun.

Before you go and grab a head band and a pair of neon leg warmers, be aware that this party is un-ironic. I would tell you what that means, but I’m not even convinced I know what “ironic” means anymore.

Stop by Wire and Nail on Treat Avenue near 18th to have a look for yourself.

As one of the oldest independent video stores in the city, Lost Weekend has not only served as one of best places to find the perfect esoteric film to take home for the night, but also as a community hub for cinema enthusiasts to meet and mingle, find some of the raddest shirts around, and even see screenings of classic favorites.  In the interest of expanding their capacity for this last point, the crew at Lost Weekend have revealed their ambitous plans to install a Cinecave in the basement which will serve as an underground screening room and community space for film!  With the demise of places like the Red Vic, we definitely need more places like this.

So he has his friend guard the door for him, and no one else is allowed in even when there are two urinals and TEN GUYS IN LINE. We were like, “R U SERIOUS??”

The friend granted us permission to snap a picture and blog about it, like as a public service, so you’ll know what to expect if you find yourself in line behind this guy.

(If it’s determined that this is too mean or something, I guess I’ll take it down. Lemme know.) (But seriously, if you need the whole bathroom to yourself, maybe don’t go to a dive bar full of hundreds and hundreds of needing-to-piss men? I dunno.)

Look at these babes!

Look at these babes!

These next babes don’t really have the holiday sweater thing going on, but they have a wreath. Look at these babes!
