Mission Mission

Reee-diculous!

But the iPad bit is funny. Learn more.

(Thanks, Jono!)

First of all, is Medjool intimate? I don’t think it is. More importantly, I also don’t think hipsters hang there very often.

Reader Wavvy Gravvy points out some other possible flaws in Yelp’s new “Hipster” tag:

Spork, Beretta, Dalva, Zeitgeist, farm:table, Pop’s, Ikes at Lime, Boogaloos, Medjool, Elbo Room, Red Door Cafe ARE ALL HIPSTER

Four Barrel, Ritual, Dynamo Donuts, Delirium, Bender’s, Humphrey Slocombe, Tartine, Foreign Cinema, Delfina, Range, Amnesia, Revolution Cafe, The Summit ARE NOT HIPSTER

Hmm.

But seriously, we apologize for perpetuating all this “hipster” bullshit. Sometimes it just seems like a good idea.

That’s a Motorola Xoom Tablet. Looks a little bit goofy, right? A goofy tableau, right?

How about this:

Every single one of them filmed the entire set.

The Streets on Fire are the band. They were pretty good.

That’s what it sounds like from their twitter, as well as their help wanted section on their website.  So what exactly is a Rapha pop-up shop you ask?  From the website:

“The Rapha Cycle Clubs are places for people passionate about road racing where they can watch live racing, enjoy food and drink, peruse Rapha’s emporium of products and become inspired by the rich culture of the sport which Rapha celebrates.”

This sounds pretty cool, and trust me, there are NOT a lot of places in the city to catch a decent Giro or Tour de ( Random City) in Europe race, and I for one would welcome Rapha to our fair cycling city.   I’m betting they open the shop somewhere in the Mission, because lets be honest, would any other part of San Francisco be as fit to house a bar full of drunk cyclists talking shop for hours on end?   I think not.

What do you think?

Reader Tina spotted this the other day and mentioned it in a comment thread. Reader JR just happens to be the the programmer who implemented the feature, and informed us all that it’s been in use since late February.

It’s not a clickable value, so I can’t seem to get a list of all the spots in town with hipster ambiences, and JR didn’t return my email, so, readers, Yelpers, what beloved spots around town besides Gracias Madre have been designated “Hipster”?

And what with the hipster backlash becoming more and more violent, do businesses really want to be associated with the dirty word? Maybe it’s a revenue play. I bet local businesses will pay through the nose to have the “Hipster” tag removed.

I’m not talking about Scrabble — we all know Scrabble in real life is boooooring. (Sorry, Ladies Who Scrabble Club.)

It’s Bananagrams! Fast paced! You play in groups, so peer pressure keeps people from playing irritating bullshit like “QI” or whatever. Plus, you can high-five when something cool happens, and jeer your friends right to their face when they do something dumb. (David.)

It’s a joy! (And, sorry if I’m late to the game on this, but it was tons of fun. Thought you should know.)

Just be sure you play with friends that speak English okay:

(Actually, David speaks English fine, usually. Might’ve been all the wine.)

Some print publication wanted to know:

Seriously. Somebody set this up. Now you guys can quit playing at my place all time.

Just look out for Erika. She’s ”Asian kid at the laundromat good” apparently.

Also, look out for Charlie Sheen too.

The dryer at my laundromat (which is called a “[something something] Tumbler”) doesn’t work, so I took a picture of it and tried to post it on Tumblr, but Tumblr isn’t working either, so I’m posting it here:

Whatever technology you’ve got, no matter what era it’s from, if it starts with T-U-M-B-L you’re fucked. Beware.

Burgertime! Mr. P sure looks like he’s in bad shape though

You can play this game at Thieves on 14th, which is now open during the day!
