In case you missed Sunday Streets and everyone else’s coverage of the event, I took a stroll down 24th and Valencia Streets with my crappy camera. Feel free to click any image for a larger version of it:

A small group of people, who were wearing funny uniforms and alleging to represent the City of San Francisco and its parks, were out Sunday evening claiming to be enforcing laws established by “the people of San Francisco.” Their actions included, but were not limited to, disturbing a small dance party due to noise (while a Mustang with no muffler drove by), demanding an owner of a moped leave the park (only after calling some sort of oracle and inquiring if it was illegal to park a motorized vehicle on the grass), and impolitely asking someone to water the grass with a Stella Artois. Most park-goers failed to recognize the legitimacy of these individuals and continued to drink “the devil’s nectar.”
Previous on Mission Mission:
Philipp emails us regarding the scene of fireworks at 16th and Albion last night:
“Around last call on the night of the fourth some hooligans launched fireworks from my corner (yay!) and eventually aimed at cars (nay?). Police rolled up but couldn’t find the launchers as they were dodging around in the crowd and no one pointed them out.”
If you look closely, you can actually see a firework bouncing off the hood of an SUV around :45 to-go. It also sounds like they were also tossing them at cyclists. Weak.
Looks like My First Earthquake just shot a music video in the Mission. Bonus points if you can easily identify the street they are jamming on in the opening scene.

For one of those “only-in-SF” experiences, be sure to check out the “Bicycle Music Festival” Saturday in Dolores Park (among other places). Bicycle-powered sound systems and musicians performing in the middle of rides across town? fuck ya.
Unless you live under a rock, you probably noticed there was a parade of things that would anger the Catholic church today in the Mission. Unfortunately for the 20-something cool-kid crowd, it started at 9:30 this morning. In the event you didn’t rail some lines off your iPhone while listening to Cut Copy to motivate yourself to get out there, I took some pictures for you.
I spent yesterday morning with the fine folks at VidSF talking to people at Carnaval. If you want to see how awkward I am in person, this would be a good place to do it.
Unfortunately they cut my awesome interview with an aggro chihuahua. Too bad, he had a lot of good things to say.

Tonight is Shoebox Studio‘s 2nd Annual Holiday Student Showcase. Participating classes include Baby Ballerinas, Hip Hop, Capoeira, Tribal Fusion, American Cabaret Bellydance and more.
Plug1 sent us a helpful FAQ prepared by his homey KB, one of the stars of the show:
- Is this for your burlesque class? No
- Will you be performing a solo/ burlesque solo? Again, this is not for burlesque, and I will not be doing a solo… not in the showcase, at least, but I’m considering taking requests for afterward… for burlesque and otherwise.
Show starts at 8pm, pertinent details are here.
