So cute! Today we found this mega-originale street art:
Mushroom-Stamped?
Really “Pop Art” goes game-show, if you ask me. Anyone want to buy some vowels?

Mish Competish: Fill in the Blank!
February 21, 2010I think they’re missing an “H”?

This makes me hungry for cheese.
MIS ION PIE? Shouldn’t this be MisHion Pie? Or maybe “MIS ION” is Spanish for HOME-COOKED GOODNESS?
Either way, I went here on my lunch break last week, and this place had great pumpkin pie. The thing is, you have to drink some milk with it, to make things perfect. And they don’t seem to like giving people milk. I almost didn’t get any, because the managers were seriously all up on the cashier for being dumb, or being bad at math, or something. WTF? Just gimme that 2%!
In conclusion, this place has great pie and lots of people with moustaches.
Free Tunes at Adobe Books
February 19, 2010Last night, a mysterious and bespectacled dude handed us this legit ad and encouraged attendance:
BART card included for scale.
Three artists play the Adobe Books Backroom Gallery for zero loot?! Seems too magical to be for realz. I’ve been e-stalking the crap out of these musicians, and I have got to say, their tunes are solid.
Slap this noise on your calendar! February 25th at 7 PM will find you in the company of great used books, underground art, and cute people with inspirational haircuts. A night full of win, for sure!
Also: Casey Chisholm, I would like to take you for burritos. You seem neat.
The Mish + Oakland in Hella Love
February 19, 2010
This guy has much love!
This guy is really making a fashion statement: He loves Oakland, hella much. That someone who loves Oakland so much would spend his time walking down Mission Street really means a lot. Thanks Dude in Green – We love you, too! We especially love those shades and your sick Nikes!
I just have one question for you: Where did you get Starbucks in The Mish?
In other news, does anyone know what a “monthly past pass” is? This place doesn’t seem to sell them anymore. If it has something to do with a time machine, I would hella love to purchase one.
Peace out, Indiefest! You were great!
February 19, 2010For the last two weeks, Robby and I have been camped out inside The Roxie for SF’s IndieFest, and I am mega-sad that this festival has come to an end.
First of all, The Roxie is adorbs. Nestled between some of 16th Streets most beautiful sights (remind me to tell you about the tranny that offered to sell me her panties), it is a bastion of urban entertainment and really, truly always features a great line-up of flicks.
Buy your tix under the marquis, and a kindly [hip] ticket taker will guide you to one of the Roxie’s two viewing areas. Also, as luck would have it, your ticket stub will get you $1 off your next drink at Dalva, a raucous little speakeasy that spoons The Roxie! (Now that’s what I call rad!) Film specifics…. after the jump!
O IndieFest, you rule like there is no tomorrow!
For closing night, we checked out “Limbo Lounge,” and … whoa. It was effing great, ya’ll. The acting was phenom, the plot was entertaining and thought provoking (without being all, “OMG WE ARE SO MUCH SMARTER THAN YOU WILL EVER BE!”), and the cinematography was top-notch. Most IndieFest flicks get played twice over the course of the festival, but this one was voted as an audience favorite so it earned one of the super-coveted closing night slots! Check out their website (linked above) for upcoming festival appearances.
Don’t be dismayed if you missed the fest! Upcoming films at the Roxie include: “Precious” (in case you missed this massively hyped Best Picture nominee) and “The Cove” (a documentary that sounds excellently impressive.) I will be there, and I will share my buttery popcorn.
Love,
Alice A.
Ed Hardy in The Mish
February 15, 2010You know that clothing designer who makes outfits decorated by different combinations of embroidered skulls, roses, daggers and be-ribbonned words? Well I’m pretty sure I spotted a truck he painted driving down South Van Ness. You can tell it’s his by the fact that it’s very striking, it has red flowers, and there’s a big ol’ skull on it. All I can say is this: North Beach has nothing on The Mish.
If wearing Ed Hardy shoes is an 8 on the awesome scale, driving this truck is a 200!
Missionista Fashionasty – B&B
February 12, 2010Check out the Beavis and Butthead shirt with skinny jeans spotted on Valencia street. The Mish: breaking new fashion ground every day!
Need some T.P., sir?
Lions + Tigers + Wrestling + Pan Flute = Yes We Can!
February 12, 2010Dear omgthemishers, I have made an amazing discovery. I can’t overstate the amazing awesome radness of this store. This is the store to end all stores in The Mish, ever. It’s cute and small and easy to miss all tucked away on a dusty corner of 24th street near Mr. Burbujas. It’s called G. G. Tukuy, and it’s great.
This place has it all: one of a kind wolf shirts, both OFFICIAL and AUTHENTIC masks used for backyard mexican wrestling, tiny wooden flutes for warding off the ills of the city, similarly styled rugs, bat spray, Christian paraphernalia, need I go on? I went in there today and bought a shirt that featured a grizzly bear, a full moon, a timberwolf and two pumas having intercourse with John Cena. It was insane. Even better, I am told by a reliable source that the goods inside are all certified Fair Trade and Vegan and all that. Wicked! Next time you’re visiting that friend on Florida street, check it out.
Chihuahuas for sale! And Wolfs!
Bowie in the Mish
February 9, 2010OMG, there I was, just listening to a Casiotone for the Painfully Alone mix on the 5-Fulton. I look up and who should be sitting next to me but…
Learning About City Hall
I feel totally re-affirmed – This must DEFINITELY be the sickest place to live.
Hilarious Theme Bar!
February 8, 2010I just stumbled upon what might by my new favorite Mish hangout. It’s a super-fun biker themed restaurant/bar, and it’s right here in The Mish! It’s called Zeitgeist and I encourage all to check it out!
The bartenders and “bouncers” are pretty cute. They’re dressed up in punky/grungy gear and look like badasses. They even put on a solid ‘tude to keep the campy vibe alive. I saw a girl at the food hut who was refused the grilled cheese sandwich she ordered because she didn’t tip. (He just gave her the money back and told her she should have tipped.) Hilarious! The bad customer service adds to the fantasy of being at a dirty biker bar in a small town, when you’re really in cosmopolitan San Francisco! But as with all theme restaurants/bars, you’ll pay extra for the experience.
At the bar there was a big long line of pre-made Bloody Mary’s. Kind of a gimmick, I’d say, but the crowd didn’t seem to mind. They were drinking them down like they were homemade! Mmm, kitch-a-rific! There are funny signs over the bar and even a banner with a downward arrow and the words “Tamale Lady” (which I assume is some sort of ironic joke about how many white people were there?) Funny!
While most of the staff are pretty good at their jobs and don’t break character too often, I think I saw one of the bussers wearing a Rolex. Gotcha! Don’t worry buddy, I won’t tell your boss you slipped up.
