Mission Mission

Hey, at least they’re being honest! The worst is when someone writes a gleaming account of their domicile, and everything looks good when you check it out, but then you find out about their midnight trombone rehearsals a week into living there.

And now that I think of it, I bike by this apartment every night on my way home from work, and I’ve definitely heard a band practicing, so story checks out.

(Thanks Charlie!)

All I needed to hear was that you get in for free by wearing a tracksuit.  Ch-check it out here.

And it’s hosted by Peaches Christ and Sam Sharkey, so you know it’s definitely going to be a raucous occasion!  The fun starts tomorrow at 7pm at the Victoria Theatre, and you can check out all the details and also get tickets here.

Our pal Teddy recently embarked on a completely scientific exploration of the typical dispositions felt by San Franciscans versus New Yorkers, and if you’ve ever lived in both places, you’ll probably share a few of these sentiments.  Check out the whole thing here.

Except for that one straight-edge guy down there.

Right? At least put that 4×4 power on your gas-guzzling SUV to use one time!

Ok maybe not.

Sorry mister bus driver!

Fucking Danzig.

One person seems to have been injured in the gunfire onboard this 49 MUNI, which occurred at around 10pm on Mission at 22nd St.  According to some shook up witnesses who were also on the bus:

There were a few shots and someone got hit in the stomach.  Then about 6 guys surrounded him and started beating him with little sticks before they all ran off.  I don’t think the guy’s dead though.

Details are still being collected and police are at the scene.

UPDATE!!!

More information has been revealed and apparently our witness was a little more shook up than he thought.  There was no shooting onboard, but rather a savage beating with a tire iron.  Police think maybe the sound of the tire iron hitting a pole or seat led to people thinking they heard a gunshot.  SF Appeal has more details here.

According to an ancient Milanese streetcar. What a difference a century makes.

I wonder how we’ll feel when we look back on this Prop 8 business a hundred years from now.

(Thanks Heather for the translation!)

If you’ve ever wanted to meet some Suicide Girls up close and personal, tonight’s your chance:

On Tuesday, March 26, 2013, some of your favorite SuicideGirls will be signing their hard cover photo book of tattooed pinup girls entitled Hard Girls, Soft Light at Mission Comics in San Francisco. Make sure to get to Mission Comics early because the first 25 people to have a copy of Hard Girls, Soft Light signed will receive a free yearlong membership to SuicideGirls.com.

After the book signing join local SuicideGirls as well as Rigel and Radeo for an official after party at Bender’s Bar where bartenders will be slinging a special SuicideGirls cocktail all night long. Interested in being a SuicideGirl? Introduce yourself to the SG model coordinator, Rigel Suicide, and show her what you are made of.

Check out all the details for the book signing here, and the afterparty here, and try not to be too much of a creep!
