Who was at the Artillery Apparel last night? I passed by and it looked pretty rad. There was awesome music and a fashion show. Anyone have pictures?

Tonight is Unsilent Night at Dolores Park. As the composer of the event describes it, “it is like a Christmas caroling party except we don’t sing but rather carry boom boxes, each playing a separate tape or CD which is part of the piece. In effect, we become a city block-long stereo system.”

MUNI diaries brings us a disturbing story of a bicycle getting stolen from the MUNI bike rack.

The writer asks: is this a trend? I sure hope not, this is why I don’t ride MUNI; just think how annoying it would be having to lock your bike every time you put it on the bike rack.

More disturbing things about lost items; these people lost their leopard print change purse.

7×7 brings us the story about The Mission Statement on 3458 18th street between Mission and Valencia.

Apparently they are going to have sales on the sidewalk made by local designers.

And since tonight is Saturday there is still a chance to get hella faded. There is this dive bar within a dive bar also on 16th street. Urban Daddy has the scoop.

And if your strolling down on Mission Street, go ahead and Stroll by Charanga. A deal you can’t miss. It’s like this, book a reservation from their site and they will give you a gift certificate for the check amount.

I went there for a friend’s birthday the other day and the sangria is amazing.

And Mission Mission has these cool sketches of the Mission.
