Mission Mission

High up in some tall building in the middle of the Mission somewhere, right?

The headline over at Mission Local is “Opponents Slam SF Mayor Lee in First Debate”:

Though Mayor Ed Lee is widely predicted to win re-election this November, he faced staunch opposition from five candidates at a forum Thursday night as opponents zeroed in on suspected corruption in city hall and a failure to address San Francisco’s worsening housing crisis.

“We need to take our city back,” said candidate Stuart Schuffman, better known as comedian and blogger Broke Ass Stuart. “We need to get the money out of politics. This corporate money is ruling our city. We need to start thinking about our communities and the best sustainable ways of keeping them together.”

Some 300 people, many of them hissing and booing at Lee’s points, tried to squeeze into the small auditorium on the University of California San Francisco campus. About a third of the crowd were sticker-wearing Lee supporters, while the rest came to support alternative candidates.

Here are my two main points:

1. These bagels are legit. I don’t know how New York people feel about them, but they are hella good bagels.
2. The scene at the popup wasn’t too much of a shitshow. I guess there was a line right at 10am when they opened, but by 11am when I got there, it was super chill. Got a table right away, quick and friendly service, and not too long a wait for food (and drink). To be fair, they did start running out of stuff I wanted (the fancy cream cheese and the smoked fish) pretty early, but they still had plenty of bagels, and they predict they won’t have that problem this time around.

This weekend’s popup is at PizzaHacker on Sunday morning, 10am.

Look at these photos and tell me you don’t want a bagel right now:

These bagels are fucking legit.

My review of Danny Bowien’s new Chinese Burrito is a pretty good read, but this brief excerpt is pretty key:

(They’d been talking about maybe doing it without cheese.)

Oh and here’s a great new photo of the beast, by food writer Omar Mamoon:

What the heck is Spectre Challenger you ask? I mean, it was this:

Here’s some Wikipedia info:

Spectre was a computer game for the Apple Macintosh, developed in 1990 by Peninsula Gameworks and published in 1991 by Velocity Development. It was a 3D tank battle reminiscent of the arcade game Battlezone.

[...]

The goal of the game was to drive the tank around the playfield, collecting ten flags by driving over them, while avoiding obstacles (including rotating windmills) and the shots of computer-generated enemy tanks.

In single player mode, you can choose four kinds of tanks, each one having different stats for shields, speed and ammo: Balance, Speedy, Strong and Custom (you can freely distribute 15 stat points for this one). Each stage passed increases game’s difficulty (quantity and speed of enemy tanks). Furthermore, from level 6 appear orange cone-shaped tanks (which are faster and more resistant than normal enemy red tanks) and every 10 levels the shields of all enemy tanks are increased by 1. Also, after level 9 is passed, the player can throw grenades which cost 10 ammo and damage all enemy tanks in explosive range.

The game supported multiplayer operation over an AppleTalk network. Each player used a single Mac, but the other players were depicted as enemy tanks.

Sounds more or less like your average Muni ride, am I right?

P.S. How did I just remember the game Spectre Challenger off the top of my head after seeing these Muni passes on Instagram you ask? I didn’t.

I was like, “Jess, look at these Muni passes. What was that videogame for computers from like 25 years ago where you drive around in a little Tron-looking tank or whatever???” Jess didn’t know, so I started digging around my one box of old-ass stuff from childhood and found a little yellow 3.5-inch floppy case containing something called “Verbatim DataLife 2nd Edition 11th Disk MicroSoft Entertainment Pack,” a disk full of (if I recall correctly, but we can’t know for sure since I can’t plug a 3.5″ floppy in anywhere around here) topless pics of Bridget Fonda, a disk called “SHIZNIT,” annnnnnnnnd finally Spectre Challenger for IBM & 100% Compatibles …..holy shit what a barbaric world.
