Bacon-wrapped pork-broth-soaked enoki mushroom yakitori street food as turkey alternative

Our buddy Todd from Bernalwood is abroad for the holidays (not a broad for the holidays), celebrating from afar in style. I’m still stuffed from last night BUT I WANT THIS THING IN MY MOUTH.

Post-Thanksgiving Berlin-style ping pong party this Saturday featuring Breezy Nix

It’s this coming Saturday, which gives you two whole days to digest. Some other key things to remember:

  • Breezy Nix is our special guest DJ, in town just for the weekend. She will undoubtedly bring the house down, so bring your dancin’ shoes.
  • This is our first party with an absolutely first-rate DJ booth and soundsystem, so bring your dancin’ shoes.
  • This party goes ’til 2AM.
  • $2 beer until midnight.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Plus, be sure to check out (and bookmark) the newly launched AMERICANTRIPPS.COM.

Note also that this is our first time throwing this party at Project One, which is located just a teeny bit outside the Mission. It’s still easy to get to though, via the 22-Fillmore or something, or your bike or feet:

*Disclaimer: Mission Mission and American Tripps are sister operations, as they were both my idea. Thanks, all, for your continued interest in both.

This is but one piece of a new work of art by local genius C’mon Pony entitled “Salad.” The rest of the salad is just as disturbingly titillating.

Excuse me, sir, do you need to see my ID?

Ha!

Mosaic mystery

From our pal Parisa:

Some awesome busy beaver is making the raddest mosaic art under the 101 on 16th st

Alright, which one of you busy beavers is it?

Is the US Bank Building on fire? UPDATE: No, but Mission Chinese Food might’ve almost burned down

UPDATE: The fire was in a unit “either above or behind” Mission Chinese Food, but they put it out quick, thank goodness. Mission Local has further details here. [via hadsrobinson]

How good are the sandwiches at Rhea’s Deli?

Pretty damn good, I guess.

Holiday girlfriend guy has plenty of haters, admirers, imitators

The Craigslist post seeking a holiday girlfriend that we told you about last week seems to have struck a chord in our city, with everyone popping out of the woodwork to weigh in on this clever romantic adventure.  While there have been plenty of  haters (see Insufferable Craigslist Bro Seeks “Holiday Girlfriend” on SF Weekly), others seem to tentatively be hoping that the whole thing works (Craigslist Holiday Boyfriend Looks For Love In San Francisco on HuffPost).  I wonder which way npr will rule?

Similarly, do a Craigslist search for “holiday girlfriend” and you’ll find several folks who just copied and pasted the original post as their own, hoping to score the same luck!

Whether our pal can actually find love for the holidays remains to be seen, but at this point we’re totally rooting for him.
