Mission Mission

Our pal Doug over at Ice Tubes (the best blog about living in the Haight and surfing) spied this incredibly trippy-looking way to recycle your old jeans somewhere in the Haight. Read all about it.

I’d try it with my old jeans, but I think they might be too full of holes.

It looks a hell of a lot cooler than that stupid invisible helmet, but does it do the jobs? Probs.

Anything else? Anything it wouldn’t be good on? I’m at a loss.

Just wake me up when it’s time for brunch.

Aren’t weekends in the Mission just grand?

Big event Saturday night only! SFist has the details:

We mentioned it last week, but now that the location and details of Endless Canvas’ 36,000-square-foot ad hoc street art museum have been revealed, the event will make a rad addition to your weekend plans. The massive, three-story warehouse with murals by over 80 west coast graffiti artists will throw open its doors tomorrow evening in Berkeley.

The Carbon Warehouse is located in the old Flint Ink building (1350 4th Street) in Berkeley. The event itself is free and open to all ages. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event runs until they shut the whole thing down at Midnight.

Read on for more info and a video preview. (Swampy’s in on this; hopefully this event is even a fraction as good as that sick Swampy show last year, seen above.)

Also, here’s an important little notice from the event website:

ATTN WRITTERS: Thank you for not tagging the porta-potties, lights, gerenators, trucks or other rented equipment as Endless Canvas will be held liable and we want to be able to keep doing these events in the future.  Also, please don’t tag up the buildings across the street around the night of the opening so that the event doesn’t get shut down.  You know we’re pro-graffiti but please don’t side bust or blow up the spot.  THANK YOU!!!

And Namu is ostensibly a Korean joint for goodness’ sake! Anyway, seriously, this was the absolute highlight of a meal full of highlights. It was even better (though not as visually stunning) than the CREATURE FROM THE DEEP, but goes equally good with a glass or three of the house rice beer.

Seriously, this is THE BEST GNOCCHI.

Late last night, completely inexplicably, a reader identifying himself as Some Guy in North Dakota left a message on our Contact Us page.

I have been reading your website all evening. I didn’t know I could connect to websites on other friggin’ planets.

Being from North Dakota, all I can say is “Wow”. Maybe I should include “Whew!” WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE???

There are about as many people in this entire state as there are in SF. The few that dress/act/talk/think like you folk get put in our State Mental Hospital.

I am stunned. Amazed. (mostly stunned).

Is there something they put in the water there? What’s the deal?

I just do NOT get it. [link]

Me neither! But thanks for reading!
