Mission Mission

The three amigos of samba want to know. Seriously, they’re tired of Elite Sports on Mission always being out of size 12′s!

Grab a Candlestick T in Niners red this Saturday at the Ferry Building or Saturday afternoon on Valencia +19th. Sunday on Valencia 11-2:30.

Stepped out from behind his podium to join his boy Brex on the solo during “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.” Dig that golden jumpsuit!

Our friend Heather found this notice posted up at SF General, where she works:

Do not wear while going to Dynamo Donuts, El Metate, or Humphrey Slocombe

Probably best not to risk looking like you have a reputable job when patronizing said establishments anyway, you might look like you can actually afford it here.

Last minute gift idea! Our pal Cleveland Motley recently launched his very own bag business, Motley Goods, based right here in the Mission. Everything’s handmade by Cleveland, and the star of the show seems to be the “Weekender”:

Our medium roll-top backpack.

The Weekender, trimmed in leather is a great do-it-all bag.

Designed to be small and refined enough to take to work, yet large enough to be your ticket out of town.

Its heavy-duty waterproof Cordura nylon exterior and separate waterproof vinyl liner combine with leather trim to become a modern design and rugged utilitarian tool.

18″ x 12″ x 6.5″ give the Weekender 23L of internal capacity.

Three large external pockets

Optional 17″ padded laptop sleeve

One 6-inch velcro closed internal pocket

Thick foam back pad

Leather straps, choice of leather or nylon trim

Cordura exterior fabric – available in six colors

Heavy vinyl liner

Secondary Velcro roll top closure

Boom. Our other pal Nattles wore it around for just a couple of days and got hammered with compliments the whole time, presumably because it looks both gorgeous and like serious business. The rolltop on top and a healthy amount of velcro throughout ensure everything stays nice and dry, and the leather straps and trim ensure you look dope.

See the official Weekender page (with more pics of the bag in more colors) here. Or check out the rest of the Motley catalog (which includes a huge backpack, a basket bag, a pannier/backpack, and a satchel) here.

Here it is in action:

Black pennant, orange ball, SF Giants, nothing more. This minimalist design by Ian Johnson really speaks to me.

Check it out, a successful business on Valencia Street that isn’t a brand-new high-end restaurant!

Here’s some more info on the big party:

Independent designer/retailer Dema is celebrating her 15th anniversary in the Mission District.

Saturday Nov 17th 6-10.

We’ll have champagne, cupcakes from Mission Mini’s and entertainment by local crooners Carletta Sue Kay, Justin Frahm and Mark Eitzel.

The entire store will be 20% off Saturday and Sunday as a thank you to our faithful fans!

Behold the results of the SF hoodie survey!

Based on the 500+ people who responded, it looks like San Franciscans (at least those who read blogs) own approximately 4 hoodies per person (though there’s a long tail of many SFians more than 10.) The Outerlands lay claim to hoodie per capita, seemingly out of thermal necessity. Using Nate Silver precision, we can extrapolate and jump to the conclusion there are over 3 million hoodies in San Francisco, making it the predominate life form in our city.

Of course, this poll was heavily weighted towards the Mission.

More over at Burrito Justice, including an interactive map.
