Mission Mission

“What thing?”, you ask. Well, isn’t it obvious?

It’s fantastic that there’s so many people taking to the streets these days to ride their bikes to work, play, or wherever they need to go.  Of course, this also means that not everyone has developed the proper etiquette necessary for transversing the city without enraging other pedestrians and motorists (not to mention their fellow cyclists).  Luckily, there’s a chance some of us have observed these proceedings and are now on a path towards cyclist enlightenment–a haughty-sounding but nonetheless noble pursuit.  In case you’re still not sure which side you’re on, check out this video to see if you fall under any of the alluded stereotypes that might prevent you from becoming an enlightened cyclist.

For Valentines Day, I bring you this Blammos video of Mission women scanning for an exit route.

This is disturbing. I’ve had some unpleasant interactions with that guy too, but it’s clear he’s not well. I don’t think following him up and down the street “calling him out” with schoolyard insults accomplishes anything. I’ve always taken the convenient “leave him the-fuck-alone” approach.

Every Halloween, after the little ghouls and boys have gone to bed, strange people gather at local artist’s workshop The Secret Alley (where I am a co-founder) and record tales of other worlds. The latest episode has finally been unleashed, and it is quite a tale indeed. If you are a fan of Star Trek, you may enjoy watching this.

By the way, if you’re interested in being a part of the fun, The Secret Alley is looking to fill one of our offices with a local artist who wants to join in on the craziness and hard work that makes that place tick. Interested parties should send a statement of said interest to iwanttowork@thesecretalley.com.

Oh so this is where all those acappella guys in college ended up:

Janey Smith is one of our favorite poets (and blog commenters), so we were excited to find this curious bit of performance on YouTube.

Purchase Janey’s book Animals here.

Ok, so this is meme-y, but it was filmed in Four Barrel:

While we’re on the subject of coffee snobbery, anyone know how to get cafe-quality microfoam at home without dropping $500 on equipment? I wanna pour me some latte demon spawns.
