Mission Mission

By PSA Press:

This is the legend of the Golden Fire Hydrant, the miraculous fireplug that saved the Mission District of San Francisco in 1906.

When San Francisco burst into flames in the days following the disastrous 1906 earthquake, much of the city’s network of fire hydrants failed. Miraculously this hydrant, nicknamed “little giant,” is said to have been the only functioning hydrant and is credited with saving the historic Mission District neighborhood.

It stands on the southwest corner of Dolores Park to this day and is painted with a fresh coat of gold paint each April 18th.

Our pal Laura Helen Winn is teaching a doodling class this weekend in the Mission:

Doodling is a wonderful way to help you realize your ideas, dreams, and visions. It’s a mindless activity that helps you relax and focus. What’s the difference between drawing and doodling? Drawing is for “serious artists east jump making serious work,” or so we think. Doodling is for everyone – there are no rules, no mistakes, and no worries. Together, we’ll get curious about why we judge our drawings, and how that judgment keeps us from having fun with pens and paper. You’ll learn that sometimes the “bad” doodles turn out the best!In this class, I’ll lead you through exercises that connect your thoughts to paper, get you thinking outside the box, and get comfortable making messes.

I love a good mess! Class is Sunday, 2-4pm. Read on for more info.

Right at 9pm, it’s the Willowz! You might remember them from their contribution to the Eternal Sunshine soundtrack:

That’s why I went to see them headline the Make-Out Room in 2004 for like $3…. which is where I discovered that they are actually an awesome, pretty hard-hitting rock ‘n’ roll band. And then I saw them again at Slim’s in 2009, touring behind their masterpiece LP Everyone. Here’s the title track:
