Mission Mission

This epic banh mi (chicken meatball in a ginger tomato sauce) will be just one of the stars of Friday night’s Summer Night Market at Rice Paper Scissors on Mission Street. Here’s the deal:

This night-market-style dinner fuses Asian cuisine with Californian sensibilities. In this recreation of the street food markets found in Asia, taste phở, noodle soups, braised meats, and coconut shrimp all under one roof.

Beer, wine, and cocktails will be available for purchase from Brick & Mortar.

Full menu, more details, and advance tickets here!

It’s by a popup simply called Burger, and you can get one of your own Mondays at Cease & Desist (fka Buffalo Wild Wings).

Also, follow Burger on Instagram for lots more juicy pics.

Don’t you just love this pic we took of Little Wings (back when Dennis Kernohan lived here) (and back when that bench existed)??? We do.

Anyway Little Wings is headlining a show at the Swedish American Hall a week from today and if you’d like to win tickets, tell us in the comments section of this post why you’d be excited to go. Winners will be decided based on merit, and notified asap. Contest closes Sunday night at 6pm.

Now let’s rock: (This one takes about 40 seconds to start rocking.)

It’s the one on the far left.

A fresh new take on a classic:

It’s sounds like if Haçeteria was still at Deco Lounge (and thus Deco Lounge still existed) and there was a psycho on the loose, dragging unsuspecting dancers from the dance floor down to the dungeon — for more fun.

I’d never seen a can with a different color top before. Pretty trippy.

Well here’s what I get for never reading the comments (it’s like the #2 rule of blogging) — rock ‘n’ roll legend Mike Watt commented on a post of mine back in 2013 and I didn’t know about it til this week.

On the occasion of Thee Oh Sees’ 3-night residency at the Chapel this week (which concludes tonight), I was looking through some old coverage and came upon “Here’s an algorithm up your asshole,” our report from the time they opened for Iggy and the Stooges at a tech conference in a park in San Jose.

(Went back through the photo archives and found this shot, by our own Jess Kelso, of Watt making the low flow, back there behind Iggy.)

Here’s what Watt had to say:

people,

petey on bass for the oh sees was truly a righteous man but taking nothing from the man w/a beat in his hand for the stooges. glad to work the at a park where besides all the silicone whatever this article already talks about but where a nightmare like the last cali lynching ever was…
