Mission Mission

Saturday 18 Reasons hosts an art opening and scavenger hunt. Among the artists featured is Mission Mission pal Ariel Dovas (eviloars on Flickr) who says, “The basics are that you hang out with some art, then you buy maps to go hunting for other art hidden around the neighborhood. Guaranteed to be awesome.”

And if that’s not enough to sell you, have a look at this KQED account of a previous 18 Reasons scavenger hunt event, complete with pictures and play by play:

(Thanks, Ariel! Thanks, Emmanuel!)

I mean, if this whole episode was some kind of elaborate witness protection relocation thing, sorry for blowing the whistle. But if not, at the very least, these two are clearly related, so what’s the story?

The all-new Dolores Park Calendar of Events will not only keep you abreast of popular stuff like “Movie Night,” but also lesser-trafficked oddities such as “Christian Worship Rally” and “Lawhead Wedding.” Here’s hoping the Lawheads don’t mind a well-intentioned crash.

Says reader Chris L., pointing us toward this Craigslist ad and adding, “ps. Can I borrow 15 million dollars?” Unlikely, Chris, but it does raise the question: Who are what is going to pony up such a chunk of change? And what all could you do with it, and what would become of the pimps and hos holding court out front?

Yelper Milo B. wrote in to tell us a little more about the Blue Macaw:

I stopped in over the weekend for the unofficial opening and the place looks fantastic, it looks clean and cozy.
You can check out pics on Yelp.

As for world music — I have no idea where that rumor is coming from! The management is open to hosting all promoters and all types of shows!

Also, the owner rescues parrots and that is why she chose the name Blue Macaw.

Link. I can’t wait to see The Fucking Champs here some time soon. Thanks, Milo!

Alex Barkett critiques TV news:

Watched a news bit last night about how some woman on the sidewalk in the mission thought her kids were sick but it turned out they weren’t.

Tonight is the May edition of Lessons in Adventureneering at Dog Eared Books. Theme is “Finding Your Positivity Face,” and if the face on this flyer isn’t the most positive one you’ve seen all morning, I’ll eat my hat.

One small change: Pete Lee takes the place of Moller, as Moller can’t make it.

Thanks, Mark!

Kevin Montgomery, my favorite Mission District news source:

I just watched someone pull a boot n’ rally on Capp. Typical for a weekend night, atypical for a Monday lunch.

So says this gripping report by David McClymonds of the Golden Gate [X]press:

Neighborhood-focused Web sites such as Mission Mission, Burrito Justice and Mission Loc@l are enjoying a steady rise of daily clicks from locals and foreigners alike. Instead of coughing up change for the Sunday edition paper, readers are now using that $2.00 to buy a cup of coffee and read the news from their laptop computers and cell phones, free of charge.

Kevin Monty says:

Just saw someone walking down Capp wearing a face-mask. Seriously people?
