Mission Mission

You could totally buy one and rub out the first and last letters so it says Al Green.

This place also formerly had ping pong paddle two-packs, also for just a dollar, but I bought them out (for tonight’s ping pong party).

This blog Bad Looks is pretty mean spirited, but the photography is so good it almost elevates these so-called “bad looks” to something more. I like it.

This extra-minimal BART map shirt is my favorite item on Burrito Justice‘s list, but there are a bunch of other great finds as well. Check it out.

Sexpigeon explains his new habit:

Girls, especially, like to say this: “Back in the day you used to get dressed up to travel. It was a big deal.” Emphatic pauses before “big” and “deal.” Emphatically blank pauses in which you are supposed to sketch a golden age of propriety. I have taken to wearing a tie while traveling. Yes, I am aging, my hair rapidly thinning, my jowls just getting started on what promises to be a truly plutocratic sag—but still, I do my part. I am a man of a certain age and I am riding an airplane. You get to a certain age and you start making peace with airplanes in ways that surprise you.

Read on for the dramatic conclusion.

Remember that hipster-taco-riding-a-bike-in-the-Mission shirt we loved so much a few years back? That was Headline Shirts, and tonight they’re having a big sale. Roxzann from Headline fills us in:

We’re having a Holiday Sample Sale, there will be cheap tees but more importantly drinks, snacks, and sweet beets spun by our sales manager (we make a great team). I will also be in a baboon suit running around and having a gas! Fun right?

Pixel artist David Cole explains:

History recognizes two great eras of brotherhood: war-time sailoring and ’80s-era video arcade hooliganary. With this temporary tattoo pack, you can finally avoid wasting time celebrating these two things in separate contexts.

Yes! Buy them here. More pics and explanation here.

Our pal Jacob recommends his pal Jessica’s jewelry. She’s based in the Mission, and uses a laser cutter based in Soma to cut the intricate shapes seen above. See her Etsy shop for lots more intricate shapes.

My buddy Joan, who recently returned after a stint in L.A., immediately got to work putting her new apartment building on a shirt. I don’t remember exactly where it is, but if you recognize it you can stalk her, although she lives with her boyfriend and he’s a pretty big dude, so be careful out there guys. Otherwise just buy the shirt!
