Mission Mission

Looks like the prize packs were pretty Mission-centric. American Tripps has all the details:

Above are photos of some of the winners, with their loot, all of which came from some of our favorite local businesses:

• • The grand prize winners got limited-edition bags from Timbuk2’s historic (and completely made-in-America) collab with Woolrich!
  • A couple teams get to continue the fun with some bowling at Mission Bowling Club!
  • A bunch of winners got entertainment packs which include passes for SFMOMA, passes for NightLife at the Cal Academy (where we’ll have ping pong in the snow on November 29), and passes for the Roxie Theater.
  • Still more winners got high-quality t-shirts courtesy of DSF Clothing Company & Art Gallery (where we have ping pong parties once a month).
  • We awarded a big box of Inna Jam (some of it spicy) to the team we deemed “spiciest.”
  • Finally, one individual (sort of our MVP) received tickets to the Bay Brewed Beer & Music Festival on December 1st in the Mission, where we’ll be running some Berlin-style ping pong before and after the bands.

Then we all did tequila shots and went to karaoke! Now hurry up and register for season 2!!! Eternal thanks to all our players and all our sponsors! [link]

Sounds like a blast! Season 2 begins Monday, November 26th. Register quick!

American Tripps was born here in the Mission, but it’s been away for a while. Here’s the deal:

Before winter gets fully upon us, we figured we’d better throw one last Saturday-afternoon back-patio party! And lucky us, we got the world-famous Wam Bam Ashleyanne (http://wambamashleyanne.com/) back to spin us some soul records!

We’ll have El Rio all to ourselves, with Berlin-style ping pong in the main room, out on the back patio AND in the concert hall! Rocky slingin’ frybread too, so bring your appetites!

RSVP and invite your friends!

From Grantland’s coverage of the SF Giants championship parade:

This guy was an absolute beauty. “Me and the bird went to 12 games this year,” he was telling another dude, as if the parrot on his shoulder was a buddy from high school. “I really think the Giants can win four World Series in six years. Four in six, man. Four in six!”

You hear that, Giants?  P.D Bird demands four in six!  Meanwhile, MUNI is having heart palpitations in a corner somewhere while contemplating future celebrations in horror.  Check out the full article here.

Yeah, so people were super psyched about the World Series win and went overboard with their celebrating (or used it as an excuse), burning and breaking stuff. When all that is said and done though, this is the image that I have stuck in my head from last night:

Watching our team dominate. In a bar with friends and neighbors, leaving seats empty as we stand in support, cheering on Sergio Romo as he does his thing and takes out Miguel Cabrera.

Today our team came back home to get celebrated in person.

And here’s a timelapse of the whole game, from the POV of fans watching in Civic Center, sent to us by Nick.
