Mission Mission

This looks like 3rd and Harrison. I assume he was looking for parking near Trick Dog and ended up way out here.

Anyway, yes, gold-plated Lambhorgini.

I don’t mean to be too alarmist — chances are, no landlord would be dumb enough to dump a beloved landmark like Cancun — but this news is a bit alarming. Eater SF reports:

Taqueria Cancun may be in danger of disappearing. Co-owner Gerardo Rico says that Cancun’s flagship 19th and Mission location has been without a lease for more than a year after the death of their longtime landlord, and is currently going month-to-month until the landlord’s family decides what to do with the space. Asked what would happen to Cancun, he responded, “Who knows?” [link]

Seriously, there is so much to explore in this photo. The Embarcadero Freeway, The rise of the Transamerica Pyramid, A lonely Twin Peaks with no Sutro Tower, the railyards of Mission Bay and much more!

This Saturday marks the fourth edition of “Hip Hop & Ping Pong” starring DJ Beauregard (formerly DJ Laser Tad) (I think he got a cease-and-desist from the Q-Zar people or something) and I just wanted to take a look back at all the great Hip Hop & Ping Pong art created over the years. (Full disclosure: I created all this art.)

The main thing is, Mission-based DJ Beauregard totally rules. Digs up all this old and undiscovered hip hop and puts together amazing sets that will *blow* *yr* *mind*. (Full disclosure: DJ Beauregard is one of my top 5 best friends ever.)

RSVP and invite your friends!

This month’s Hard French (on the patio at El Rio on Saturday afternoon as always) is gonna be historic:

Hard French is thrilled to welcome Sugar Pie DeSanto, a 60’s soul icon who performed alongside acts like Etta James and James Brown, to the patio at El Rio. Having spent over 60 years on the stage, Sugar Pie’s wild live shows have become a thing of legend. At 78 years old she can still out-dance, out-sing, and out-sass anyone in the room. We play Sugar Pie’s 45s at every Hard French and now you get the unique opportunity to hear the real thing. They’re even making a documentary about her – check out the website to learn more about this living legend: http://www.sugarpiedocumentary.com/the-music/

Advance tickets are already sold out, so you’ll wanna line up early! RSVP and invite your friends!

Note to self: since this week’s hot dog stunt was so popular, liveblog eating a 3-day-old leftover That’s It Torta Cubana sometime soon.
