Mission Mission

Who needs Mission Cliffs when you’ve got the armory? No fees!

(Just kidding! Support local business!)

Colin Winnette is a Mission-based author who writes mind-bending fiction and mysterious non-fiction tweets.

Here is the trailer for his new book, Haints Stay, which comes out tomorrow:

Here is what I wrote about a previous book of his, Fondly:

I’m halfway through Fondly and it is a fucking trip. After reading it for a while, I’d be going about my day and suddenly have a thought like, “Trains probably don’t really exist,” and actually think this thought for like 10 seconds before realizing my error. This is a good book. [link]

Haints Stay will probably be a good book too. Some website has called it “the most anticipated independent novel of the summer,” and I’ve read about 15 pages and they gave me the creeps, made me wanna drink whiskey, made me wanna buy a gun and hop a train and learn to fight and live in the woods and listen to Tom Waits even more than I usually do — and they also made me want to read the other 198 or so pages as soon as possible. (But I can’t, because it’s not out yet.)

You may preorder it here (because preorders are good for authors, you know), and you may attend the release party (featuring food, beverages, a “campfire” and a “retelling” of the book) at Booksmith on Haight Street on Wednesday at 7pm.

This week we ask you to take one for the team and drink for a cause! All week long as part of Negroni Week you can drink to benefit Galeria de la Raza art gallery and community space in the mission. Pop’s Bar introduces the NEGRONITO shot: Navy strength gin lends backbone to this bittersweet shooter. Enter Campari, Dolin Rouge, and Regan’s Orange Bitters, mixed and chilled to full strength. Unshaken, unstirred, unapolagetic. Hey, it’s for a good cause! So down the shot and ease the soul with a chili salt seasoned orange slice, knowing it supports Galeria de la Raza. $6 Negronito Shot available June 1st-June 7th.
