[lang_en]SF Gate has posted a review of local po’ boy joint Yats, located inside Jack’s Club on 24th and Utah. Now I’ve seen this place many times, but as a native Louisianian, I’ve never had the heart to go inside for fear of disappointment at a sub-par po’ boy.

Reuters UK has published a review of the Bratt brothers’ film La Mission from the Sundance Film Festival. ML reporters are reaching out to the Bratt brothers on their film, and you can look for a profile on Mission Loc@l once they return from Utah.

For more Mission cinema, there’s also this older Mission film, Mission Movie, from 2004.

Last, from Mission Mission, these maps on ponds and streams in the Mission are really cool.

Oh, and make sure to submit your amateur erotic film to the Good Vibrations Independent Erotic Film Festival (from Mission Mission).   [/lang_en]
