Mission Mission

Local photographer Nick Fisher recently sat at the bar at Dr. Teeth and ate chicken wings covered in a sauce made with bhut jolokia, the ghost pepper.

If you haven’t jumped on the cell phone bandwagon, now’s the time.

The pay phone at 22nd near Mission is finally dead.

Check out this short doc made by San Francisco teen/CEO of Jerkin crew Space Cadetsz, Tyre Brown. Jerkin is a new-ish dance style that’s quickly gaining popularity in the Bay Area. Tyre’s piece highlights his crew, as well as the Lady Cadetsz (their female counterparts) and M.C.S. (the younger group).

The movie was funded by PBS’s POV – Project VoiceScape and BAYCAT. I helped out on the editing and Troy Holden took the great stills that appear in the opening and closing credits. Vote for the movie on the PBS website and help Tyre win the 2011 Project VoiceScape Audience Award!

I can’t believe I didn’t know this poster existed. Former Mission District golden boys Two Gallants show poster that looks like a giant Muni transfer! Amazing. Found at Place Pigalle in Hayes Valley.

BONUS: Thomas informs us that they’re playing at The Independent on the 23rd and 24th of this month! [Thanks Thomas!]

But these guys are not half-assing it. Solid art.

Kevin sees the new piece as homophobic, depicting Dan Plasma as a feminine tiger (sitting on flowers, long eyelashes). We know there’s controversy here. We know how Mike Giant feels about it. In a way it’s pretty amazing to be able to watch a dialogue play out through amazing artwork on a wall. We just wish it came with less beef.

Animal throne thrown away.
