Mission Mission

Here’s a great chance to get out of the Mission! Space Bi, a “pop-up, parasitic, and unauthorized contemporary art center” will be infesting and completely inhabiting the Asian Art Museum this Thursday, July 26th from 5-9pm.

It sounds pretty fun:

As a forum for alternative programming, Spacebi reimagines the museum as a collective artist studio. Be a part of Spacebi, create new artworks, and join us for the “official” celebration of a year worth of artist projects, creative collaborations, and off-the-record experiments all inspired by the Asian. COME PLAY!

Event on FB here; site link here.

This is but one of the songs on it that slays me every single time (and the album art ain’t too shabby either, right?):

Tickets here.

P.S. Opening act Jaill seems pretty good too.

For those not in the know, green chile means the world to fans of New Mexican cuisine. (I know a little about it from that time I went to Albuquerque on a Breaking Bad tour.) It’s not always readily available out here on the west coast, and when it is, it’s not necessarily done up right, but if there’s anyone in the Mission tonight that can nail it, it’s Rocky:

GREEN CHILE!!! TONIGHT !! @EL RIO!! 8pm!! 3 Bands!! $1PBRs!!

Plus some rock ‘n’ roll? Sounds like a plan.

Just look at this sandwich:

That’s smoked trout, fancy bacon, fancy lettuce, soft-cooked egg, herby cream cheese on rye. Sooooo good. I know it’s easy to forget about this place since it’s so far out 24th Street, not very close to Dolores Park — but it is worth the trek like crazy. (And maybe try picnicking at Potrero del Sol for once?)

New menu every day here. Or follow them on Twitter.

Did you make it to the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend? If not, you missed out on all things bird, wolf, owl, tentacle, Native American, artisan, laser cut, geometric, and mustachioed — as well as these tiny plush tallboys, made by Let’s Be Friends, who also carried doll-sized Moleskines and messenger bags. Adorbs!

Quilty clothes? Is that a Lolita reference? Anyway I’m bummed I missed this sale. Anybody check it out?

Shame on you, General Mills. Some poor property owner is going to have to clean that up.

With all the talk of pizza on Valencia (and in Dolores Park, evidently) going on lately, I totally missed out on the fact that longtime Venus flytrap for drunk Marina people Thrill of the Grill has finally been deposed. Although it took a lot longer than I originally predicted back when Arinell (NO APOSTROPHE) extended their weekend hours, this should come as no surprise to anyone who’s tried their pizza.

I haven’t made it to Nizario’s up in the Castro lately, but I remember their slices weren’t that bad. Of course they’ll be going up against some pretty steep competition here so it’s anyone’s guess to see how they do!
