Mission Mission

It feels a lot like Pop’s, but it smells a whole lot better and the bathrooms are clean. It’s definitely true to the vision co-owner Spike put forth in our lengthy Q&A with him from last December. Had a great time!

Here’s the menu:

It opens at 3pm today fyi!

Also, the photobooth gives you two copies of your strip AND emails you another:

Here’s the plan:

In honor of Foreign Cinema’s 15th Anniversary, chefs Gayle Pirie, John Clark, and the family of Foreign Cinema invite you to take part in a “Quintessentially Quixotic Quinceañera,” an evening filled with visual delights, sensual bites, sultry libations, and unique burlesque and art performances from the world renowned drag queens of San Francisco’s Tranny Shack and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, along with a few more extraordinary surprises.

Proceeds support LYRIC, a San Francisco LGBTQQ youth organization as well as the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy, a local public school whose mission is to empower student learning by teaching awareness, acceptance and non-violence.

Tickets are still available here.

What a lineup! Here’s the deal:

In April, Still Flyin’ percussionist/vocalist/guitarist/bassist/drummer Brendan Lee Mead was hiking in Albuquerque and was crushed by a boulder. Broken pelvis, nerve damage, severed shoulder tendon, broken ribs, helicopter rescue, you name it. The dude almost didn’t make it. And guess what? He’s now walking without assistance, living pretty much like a normal fella. Help us celebrate his total domination of the recovery cycle and alleviate his mountain of medical bills by attending this killer rock show!

RSVP and invite your friends!

It’s called Crane Cove Park and it’s replacing the charming industrial wasteland currently out back behind the Ramp. I’ll miss the industrial wasteland vibe, but imagine, now that we’re having 90-degree days all the time, taking a 5-minute bike ride over to CCP and jumping in the water! And then ordering a burger and a bucket of Coronas!

I can’t wait!

First you have an epic night out on a Friday or Saturday, mostly in the Excelsior because who the hell wants to party in the Mission on a Friday or Saturday. (The burgers and fries at Pissed Off Pete’s are the bomb btw.) And then you crawl your way back, stopping to do another shot at Cotter’s Corner, St. Mary’s Pub, El Rio and maybe Mission Bar. And then you hit the dance floor at Last Nite for an hour. And then you buy two bacon-wrapped hot dogs, to go, on the way home. You put them in the fridge.

And in the morning you do this:

And then you pop that mess in with the avocado and take it to the Guac-Off and give it a cool name:

(A name so good it’ll win the “best name” category and a BFF.fm tote bag with coupons for free Wes Burgers and tickets to Thee Oh Sees at the Chapel inside.)

Here’s a closer look:

Mmmmmmmmmmm it was so good. Probably would’ve won if it weren’t competing with Michael Connolly and Rocky Yazzie.

Consider this Facebook update from a friend of mine in another city:

I hope you finally got to take that road trip.

Our pal Logan just invented something wild:

A kaleidoscope and a postcard fell in love and had beautiful babies that you can buy for $10. Send them to your friends!

Kaleidograms are brand new. They reveal a message in colors or shapes when held up to the light. Slide it between your fingers, and with a satisfying *click*, the message will change before your eyes.

Seven designs to choose from!
