Mission Mission

Skitchin’!

There’s a video, but you’re gonna have to go over to tumblr to see it.

The rain is here. The weather masters say it will rain into the foreseeable future. We need this water. And not just to wash all the scum off of the streets. Hetch Hetchy is thirsty. This week it’s getting slizzered.

Seriously though, this city has a hard time with rain, so be careful out there. The Muni windows will fog up from inside, iPhones will be ruined inside wet pockets, bikes and cars will splash each other (mostly cars), 18th and Guerrero will flood, 17th and Capp will smell like sewage and Mission Creek will roar into our basements. Let’s weather this storm together, because, really, it’s just a little water.

Looks like they’re going for a retro look this time.

Seriously though, imagine what it would be like if MUNI had onboard bathrooms?  How much would I have to pay you to go in one?

Michelle C. reveals the method behind the madness:

we took picklebacks to level 2… cut the pickle in half, carve the pickle guts out, pour jameson into your very own personal handcrafted “pickle shot glass” and then take the shot, followed by consumption of the pickle.

I’m totally gonna try this tonight!

Previously:

• Broke-Ass Stuart’s version of the pickleback will contain locally sourced artisanal pickle juice

That’s how that song goes, right?  I hope these were put to appropriate use to do some serious work!

It’s not bad. Watch it here (because Ah fuck is a Tumblr, and you can’t embed videos people post on Tumblr).

Pillowfight, the new Dan the Automator project, not the generic fight with pillows. Mr. The Automator, a music producer, may be known to you from such gems as Dr. Octagon, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Deltron 3030, Gorillaz, etc. Seriously, amazing body of work. Tomorrow, 3/11, he will be performing with Kid Koala, Micro mtns and alongside Emily Wells as Pillowfight.

The Make-Out Room is at 3225 22nd Street, between Mission and Bartlett. Doors open at 7pm.

Check out the Pillowfight preview, featuring art by Facebook quintillionaire David Choe.

We’re passing through the magnetic field.

Looks like the secret ingredient to Mission Chinese restaurant Big Lantern’s delicious meatless sesame chicken was a heaping scoop of unfair labor practice. SF Appeal reports the eatery has been busted for $230,000 in unpaid overtime:

In total, $230,535 was paid to employees, with workers receiving settlements between $457 and $38,880 each. An additional $5,300 was paid in penalties.

$38,800! Sounds like drinks are on that guy tonight.
