Mission Mission

Since Looking premiered last night and it’s the first cool show to be set in (and made in) SF since forever, I figured we should do some sort of weekly recap — so I enlisted former Mission Mission editor (and former pro TV blogger) Kat Malinowska. Starting next week, we’ll have proper posts by Kat, but this week all you get is a Gchat:

me: IDEA
Kat: HIT ME
me: wanna write a Looking recap every Monday for Mission Mission?
Kat: INTERESTED
me: doesn’t have to be any better or worse than the average MM post
Kat: you’re in luck, we steal HBO Go from my parents so i get the east cost version
*coast
me: excellent!
Kat: fun!
did you watch it?
me: yep!
Kat: the SF locations got me pretty pumped
me: couldn’t believe it, i was AT El Rio yesterday and then I went home and SAW IT ON HBO
Kat: a dream come true!!!
Sent at 10:42 AM on Monday
me: do you have time to do one for this week? otherwise this chat could be this week’s post
like our Mission Street Food review
Kat: nah i’ll start next week
i have no memory of last night besides esta noche and el rio
me: http://www.missionmission.org/2009/12/17/kat-allan-discuss-mission-street-food/
Kat: whoaaaaa
vintage
me: there was that joke about the guy moving in because he can’t afford the city anymore
Kat: also, was that guy working at zuni?
also, which park was jonathan groff cruising?
that shit was woodsy
we cruisin the presidio these days/
me: i think Buena Vista Park maybe?
oh yeah BVP makes way sense
we should probably compare and contrast to Girls as well
who’s the jessa?!
me: do we know yet? maybe we’ll find out next week
Kat: i’ll do some research

Any thoughts?

Only a couple of days in and local menswear line Dillon Montara is already very close to meeting its Kickstarter goal – but you can continue to score some sweet deals by pledging. They’ve got a variety of jeans and shirts and jackets, all for pledge amounts that add up to more than 50% off the retail prices. And it’s all made in the Mission!

Do note that they’re happy to do factory tours if anyone wants to see how it’s all done.

Mellow Corn! Straight corn whiskey! Nothin’ but corn! It is VERY mellow!

Now let’s get down:

But we were lying in the blazing sun in the park all day doing absolutely nothing. Didn’t even take a pic!

Third Eye Blind, Incubus, and then Eagle Eye Cherry. Well played, Philz Coffee.
