“I hate Valencia street”

Local artist Gina explains:

Hahaha some fool on a fixie just did the fixie skid across the street from where I’m sitting eating my burrito but he timed it with the beat drop of the dub step he was blasting. I hate Valencia street

Evil Eye grand opens tonight!

FullSizeRender 11 copy

A new bar on Mission Street! Evil Eye! In the former Savanna Jazz spot (which was most recently briefly Coco Frio). And it’s pretty fun! There’s pinball in the front, pool in the back, a wide array of comfy old furniture, a very pleasant staff, super tasty bar food, cocktails in cool glasses (as you can see), and the vibe is pretty chill (as you can see).

Peruse the cocktail menu here and the food menu here. (Me and my pals particularly enjoyed the wings.)

Also worth noting perhaps, Capp Street Crap observed that the place is a tiny bit reminiscent of the old Place Pigalle (RIP).

Nick Pal explains why you should attend his Eighty-Five Song Happy Hour tonight

Eighty-Five Song Happy Hour 18

Take it away, Nicky:

Guys, bad news. Eighty-Five Song Happy Hour is mired in crippling debt and the banks are threatening to SHUT US DOWN. If we don’t sell at least 28 gin and tonics between 6 and 9 PM, there may not be a safe public space to listen to Matthew Sweet records on a Wednesday in the Bay Area anymore. Come out and show your support on June 1, and send a clear message to Washington about what really matters.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Cool way to watch the Warriors

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."
