Mission Mission

Local band Windham Flat have a rad new Mission-based music video directed by Robin Moore (whom you may remember from that The Lonely Island-esque jokey bike rap video) of their song Keep Comin’ Back Around, from the EP of the same name. If you’ve played ping pong with us before, you may recognize their performance room.

An urgent request, via our Tumblr ask box:

So, how about it, readers and friends? Where’s some chocolate mousse?

P.S. Follow Mission Mission on Tumblr if you want in on a lot of obtuse behind-the-scenes posts and stuff.

Lesson learned. From now on I’m keeping my bike under my pillow while I sleep.

This bike belongs to SFist summer intern Andrew Dalton! Bummer! I think he lives above the Popeye’s on Divisadero, so keep your eyes peeled if you’re up thataways this afternoon? (Or if you’re anywhere, really?)

Things you can buy for $3:

• Jimmy Buffett’s greatest hits
• This zine
• A gallon of gas, and then some, sometime soon, maybe

Enticing options indeed, but none of these things will satisfy your stomach like two quick and dirty street-style tacos from Taqueria Vallarta. The 24th Street shop may be closed for pigeon debugging, but that hasn’t stopped the neighborhood establishment from opening a fresh new squab-free spot on Mission next to the 16th Street BART, and they’re slinging tasty $1.50 taco treats like nobody’s business.

The toppings are simple, straightforward, and to the point — all you get are two tortillas, a heap of meat, and all the cilantro, onions, and salsa you care to pile on top. Shown here are the al pastor and carnitas, but if you’re feeling adventurous go for the cabeza, lengua, or crispy deep fried tripitas — they’re all tasty as hell and worth a try.

Seems like everybody takes a picture of the slime time van every time they see it, but does everybody know about its epic theme song by Portland rockers Mean Jeans? Well, everybody should. Here it is:

It may not be the absolute best Herzog t-shirt they’ve ever sold out of, but Ruby here sure lucked out:

YAY FOR LOST WEEKEND SELLING ME THEIR LAST AMERICAN APPAREL WERNER HERZOG SHIRT SO I COULD CUT IT INTO A CROP TOP. [link]

Anyway, this one might be sold out, but Lost Weekend‘s line of film-directors-as-rock-bands shirts is fairly extensive, so you should stop by and peruse, and maybe rent a video.

Our pal Jen just finished up this mesmerizing ink on paper depiction of San Francisco that I simply cannot stop staring at! Every block in the city is represented by a different color, separated by every street.  I think my block is lime green.  This may well be the raddest map of the city ever.

See it bigger right here, and be sure to check out the rest of Jen’s amazing stuff here!

Boba Guys are doing it for real this weekend, working out of Ken Ken Ramen’s new spot:

We are taking off the training wheels and going live. The event is in the afternoon, so you can grub ‘n go. Get your boba and curry on!

Boba Guys will be serving boba milk tea and Ken Ken will be selling Japanese curry to pair it with. Get it as a combo! We’ll go till we are all sold out!

RSVP and invite your friends here, so they know how much to make.

Two homeless, stuck between a locked door and a locked gate. One’s sleeping. One’s just-awake, trying to wake the other: “How are we gonna get outta here??”

I called them a locksmith.
