In response to the ‘Capp Street Is for Hookers’ shirt

Some shirt last week was all, “Capp Street is for hookers.” I got to thinking about it, and, I disagree.

Historically, and increasingly, Capp is for bloggers. There’s tech blogger (and former Mission Mission writer) Kevin Montgomery who lives on Capp Street, there’s longtime Mission Mission writer (and Secret Alley founder) Ariel Dovas who often works out of the Secret Alley on Capp Street, nowadays you’ve got Mr. Justice broadcasting Burrito Justice Radio from the Secret Alley, and new on the scene is Amy who writes Capp Street Crap, etc., etc., etc. We even had an official Mission Mission staff meeting at the Uptown on Saturday! It’s all about being up on the Capp tip, y’all!

So who wants to buy this shirt? It’s a American Apparel. Get one here.

Singin’ & Pingin’ returns to the Mission tonight at Verdi Club!

It’s been too long! Here’s all the info:

It’s been more than *half a year* since SINGIN’ & PINGIN’ made an appearance in the Mission — where it all started! We’ve been doing the festival thing and venturing to other neighborhoods and cities, but now we’re back!!!

• Singin’ & Pingin’ = DJ PURPLE + AMERICAN TRIPPS
• DJ Purple = DANCE KARAOKE
• American Tripps = BERLIN-STYLE PING PONG
• Verdi Club = DREAMY SURROUNDINGS
• June 20th = SUMMER SOLSTICE EVE
• Summer Solstice = TIME TO GET CRRRAZY
• The Mission = THE PLACE TO BE

The Verdi Club, in the heart of the Mission District, is seriously the place you want to be as spring turns into summer: expert bartenders, chill lighting, all the dance floor we could possibly need… We cannot wait!

And there will be homemade tacos! RSVP and invite your friends! DJ Purple’s songbook can be found here. (Get to work!)
