Carnaval in the Mish! What? What!

June 7, 2010

Last weekend, Alice and I were unexpectedly bombarded with cultures up the whoa.  It was crazy rad.  Here’s a little photolog of some of the events and scenery we peeped on Sunday morn/afternoon.

Delivery Truck Float - Comes with attached femalez.

There was a parade busting through the Mish.  I’m not sure when it started, but it lasted forever.  There were hella floats and mad peeps in colorful feathers shaking their booties in various rhythms.

And who knew there were so many dance-fighting troupes in San Francisco?  Props to the elderly dancers and dance-fighters keeping it real.

This mullet is completely unironic.

The crowd was pretty eclectic.  See haircut above.  Legit.

Some pirates looking for booty. They should have hooked up with the Delivery Truck Float.

On Harrison Street, there was a potentially related street fair featuring meat, meat and meat galore.  And just when Alice and I thought everyone in the Mish was totes over the whole carnivore thing!  Way to keep us guessing, ‘hood!

I made sure to buy myself a few wolf shirts at one of the boutique fashion stands.  There was a large stage, a medium stage and one garage with live music of the following genres: Funk, Little Kids Rapping and Screamo.  Sick.

Alice loves this band. Especially the way the singer kept wrapping the mic cord around his neck. "Screamo's back? It's NOOSE to me!"

There was even some action outside the metal-detector protected boundaries of the street fair.  All around the ‘hood there were many people (“hipsters?”)  displaying some brightly colored and shiny cars.  Party on 21st St, and everyone was invited!

This little pink car looks like a lemon.

Back on Mission Street, it was a car-free affair.  I hope you already stocked up on some children’s pimp outfits – The joint is now closed.

It's a sad sad day for tiny child pimps.

After all the insanity, everyone left the Mish and lounged away in the sun at the very lovely DP.

Hey, isn't that the guy from La Corneta?

All things considered, we had a fun day in the Mish, with no stabbings or pies to the face.

How would you like your lion, sir?

I spent the good part of a rainy Easter Sunday wandering around the Mish looking for some Easter treats.  There were none to be found.  What I DID find, however, were two grocery stores on the same block with the same name: Casa Guadalupe.

The smaller one is beside “Mision Pie” and has a #2 on its banner.  (We’re assuming the bigger one down the road is #1.)  In any case, it’s #1 in my books. They didn’t have any xocolate eggs.  They DID have this:

Simba?

Are these lions free-range?  Factory farmed lions are the WORST.

Halloween Comes Early For Kiddos

February 27, 2010

I haven’t seen Halloween in the Mish, but I’m sure it’s awesome.  I am envisioning hundred of kids of all ages running around with candy and costumes and a whole lot of high-fiving.

From what I can tell, the most popular costume for kiddos in the Mish is The Pimp.  This costume is so popular that stores are selling them eight months early.  Check the photos.

Kiddos are pimps too.

Golden pimp-stache.

Get your pimp ‘stumes now before they sell out!

It’s Frisco from now on!

February 25, 2010
I think tattoos are neat.  I’m thinking of getting one on my body somewhere one of these days and I think I found the place to do it.

I am glad I found this place, because it helped me figure something out.  Here’s the thing, I wasn’t sure if people called San Francisco “Frisco” anymore.  They call it that in that “Sittin’ By the Dock on the Bay” song, but that was 50 years ago or whatever.  I didn’t know if it was a thing anymore.
Seeing this establishment made it crystal clear to me.  A tattoo parlor called “Frisco Tattoo” in the Mish?  Come on!  Calling it Frisco is A-OK.  Frisco!  Love it!  OMG Frisco!
I’m going to see how much it is to get a Frisco Tattoo logo on my thigh or lower back.  That would be sick.  Also, that’s free advertising for them so it could be on the house!  If you read this blog, Frisco Tattooers, let me know if this sounds as awesome to you as it does to me.

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.

Missionista Fashionasty – B&B

Check 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?

On the Wings of Style

February 8, 2010

This weekend was a big one for fashion in The Mish!  Even the Saturday morning hang-0ver crowd was dressed to the nines, confidently confusing tights for trousers and showing the bedraggled what’s what.

Nothing left me as totally breath-taken, however,  as this awesomeness:

Don't nod off wearing these sleek mothers...

I KNOW, right? V-Day prezzie, Robby?
