Mission Mission

Happy birthday, Ty!

[From a Vine by Lindsey]

“The best show of all time” might be hyperbole, since Thee Oh Sees get better and better every time I see them, but at the time it was definitely the best show of all time, the KUSF benefit they played mere days before the Eagle was shuttered forever. (One good samaritan posted a video of the show in its entirety and it is a GOOD video.)

Anyway, they reopened the Eagle, and tonight, in a few short hours, Thee Oh Sees return. I’m gonna go line up *right now*.

P.S. Petey and Ginger, the documentary about Petey from Thee Oh Sees, which was real good fun, screens again next Thursday at the Roxie. With a great short about Brute Force called Brute Force. Not sure if Petey will be on hand (or as awesomely wasted) for the second screening, but one can hope.

GET IT NOW

From the hosts:

Widely considered to be the best block party in the Northern hemisphere, this adventure in Bernal Heights fringe community boasts beats from Pacifica’s own Lucas Leiva, and Iron & Gold’s phat funky duo, K.I.D & Power P, as well as contributions from local brewers and The Royal Cuckoo (a.k.a. the best bar in America) not to mention the unstoppable Rodney and TJ cookin up a storm Southern style. I don’t even need to mention the giant human pinball machine (patent pending).

And the best part is it’s right around the corner from the Knockout, where darkness will be descending later that night at Smithsfits!

Remember those good ol’ days when Woody Allen was in the Mission making a movie? The film opens next month and is called Blue Jasmine, and the first trailer is out, in which Cate Blanchett refers to an apartment nicer than yours as “homey” and another guy refers to the neighborhood as a “big comedown” from what rich people are used to.

You know how you go to see Daft Punk at the Greek Theater and you’re way up on the hill and all you see is a couple of robot heads nodding atop a big pyramid? Or you see Justice at Treasure Island and you’re way out in the crowd and all you see is a couple of French dudes rocking out atop a little podium?

At Haçeteria, you get to see — up close and personal, in an intimate setting right here in the Mission — up-and-coming electronic talent making music on real-live hardware right before your eyes. Tonight you’ll see Leech from LA, turning knobs and pushing buttons and making you dance. Plus there’s guest DJ Myles (of Gonna Find Boyfriends Today fame), and all the great resident Haç DJs spinning the classics. Oh and lots of fog and lasers.

RSVP and invite your friends!

It only happens four times a year, but when the night is right and you can taste the evil in the air, you know it’s time to drink a bunch of whiskey and dance away to the Smiths and the Misfits, over and over again.  Check it out here.

And if a 10-ton truck…
