If that’s not enough to convince you, here’s a little more info:

FACE is trying out a new spot for our more ‘intimate’ of nights. You know, when you feel like partying at the club, but really just want to party at a bar?
Long, dark, mirror ball dreams, mini dance floor, cozy bar in the back to do your thing… there could be a future in this.

We welcome back our favorite viking MÅNS ERICSON (Rollerboys / Sweden), and local swede Johan aka PLAZA (Galaxy Radio / Sweaterfunk),
to join us in our trademark journey through the cosmic corners of discerning dance music. Here’s a quick lil interview w/ Mans:

Wise Sons closed this week; returning soon with ‘a more enjoyable guest experience’

Screen Shot 2016-07-18 at 4.21.21 PM

Wise Sons explains:

After almost 5 years in business, serving the Mission District 7 days a week, the restaurant is in need of a spiff. Although most of the improvements will be behind the scenes, upon re-opening the 24th Street Deli will be able to provide a more enjoyable guest experience with updated outdoor seating and slight changes to the main dining room. In addition to the cosmetic changes to the space, the deli will reopen with some new menu items, drinks specials and some shifts in management – more on that later!

They should be open again in “about a week.”

Longtime resident David Enos remembers the old days:

Everyone was unbelievably poor, too poor to drink or even have more than one meal some days. We worked like dogs for minimum wage. I think it was 6.25 back then. It was imperative to hold more than one job. Almost no one you knew owned a cell phone or had internet at their house. Sometimes there was communal internet, downstairs on a massive Dell with a thousandfold viruses and mouse covered in the black film of human hands. It was cause for laughter when you’d see a businessman with furrowed brow storming down the street, absorbed in the Blackberry pressed to his ear, getting surprised by car horns. A different time of the world.

From PSA Press, the makers of the Casa Sanchez “Jimmy the Cornman” pin, comes this new beauty. Here’s some info:

Doggie Diner was a fast food restaurant chain in San Francisco + Oakland, CA that operated from 1948 to 1986. Each restaurant was topped with a giant rotating fiberglass weiner dog head in a bow tie and chef’s hat. The Doggie Diner head has become a local icon and was declared an official San Francisco Landmark (no. 254). The last head resides at Sloat Boulevard and 45th Avenue in San Francisco, CA.

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
