Mission Bar after work!

posted June 21, 2012 3:22 PM | |

Thu July 12 at 6:30 PM, Mission Bar

2695 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, USA (Map & Directions)

I high-five you! And I'm putting this in my calendar so I don't forget.

Confirmed!
posted by Afroblanco at 3:50 PM on June 21, 2012

Probably in. Is it wrong that I would like to work in the Mission so that I could eat at these fine burrito establishments all the time?
posted by madcaptenor at 8:16 PM on June 21, 2012

That is not wrong.

I also discovered at the last meetup that the liquor store/corner store next door to mission bar has a good falafel sandwich, too! They put French fries in!

You know, I've never known what to think of that place. Apparently Anthony Bourdain loves it, although a friend of mine got food poisoning there. What's odd is that neither fact surprises me.
posted by Afroblanco at 8:30 PM on June 21, 2012

I have a work thing that evening, to no one's surprise, but will come by after, in need of a drink.
posted by gingerbeer at 8:42 PM on June 21, 2012

I figured my bourbon consumption at the Bar would take care if any potential bad food bugs. I was right, as I did not get food poisoning!

Is Mission Bar the new Frjtz? Either way, I'm in.
posted by spitefulcrow at 12:13 AM on June 22, 2012 [2 favorites]

Frjitz is weird... it's too bright in there or something. Mission Bar is full of dimness, shadow, and whiskey. My kind of place.

Do you think I could bring the dog-cow to Mission Bar?
posted by trip and a half at 8:54 AM on June 22, 2012

I am fairly certain that I have seen a dog there at least one other time, trip. But I was probably drunk. And the dog may have been the guest of a regular, and so there with special privileges. But since they don't serve food, it might be more possible to have a dog there than at Frjtz.
posted by rtha at 8:59 AM on June 22, 2012

Bring the dog-cow! We miss the dog-cow.

I'll have to discuss with the Boy, but we're likely in.
posted by mostlymartha at 11:05 AM on June 22, 2012

Plausibly.

I'm putting it in my calendar!
posted by jasper411 at 2:08 PM on June 22, 2012

I think I'll give them a call. If they're cool with the dog-cow, we're in!
posted by trip and a half at 11:51 AM on June 23, 2012

Oh wait -- I just realized that Mission Bar is the same place I brought the dog-cow to a meetup a long time ago! Plus their Yelp page photos feature dogs-a-plenty, so see you people there!

Yay, dog-cow!

I would also like to note that the dog-cow has attended a meetup at Frjtz. He's got cred.
posted by special-k at 2:47 PM on June 23, 2012 [3 favorites]

special-k: Are you going to be there? I know I spilled scotch on your really nice jacket, and I would at least like to buy you a drink to try to make some kind of amends.
posted by trip and a half at 9:41 PM on June 23, 2012

I might like to join you! The the best of my knowledge, I have never met another mefite. This seems a shame.
posted by missmobtown at 10:05 PM on June 23, 2012

Oops! I'm getting old: forgot that 'dogcow' is not actually hyphenated.

We'll be there anyway, barking at all of you guys to get the hell off our lawn.

[Changed the tag: Moof!]
posted by trip and a half at 10:58 PM on June 23, 2012

Also: come on down missmobtown! We don't bite! Not even the dogcow!
posted by trip and a half at 11:01 PM on June 23, 2012

trip and a half: Quite possibly. Thanks for the drink offer but I don't own any nice clothing and that spill was a long time ago so no worries.

I just moved here from Brooklyn, so I'm going to drop in and say hi!

Welcome to San Francisco, vivzan! Looking forward to meeting you.
posted by trip and a half at 9:32 PM on June 29, 2012

Oh I see how it is. You plan this for basically as soon as I leave the country. Thanks a lot, guys!
posted by aubilenon at 2:17 AM on July 1, 2012 [1 favorite]

I think I will probably drop in if I can figure out transport home.
posted by chatongriffes at 2:54 PM on July 2, 2012 [1 favorite]

I will try my best to be there.

hey vivzan, i also just moved here from the east coast (brooklyn/providence). i will likely stop by!

I'm going to try to make it, for reals! Haven't said hi to the Mission since moving back to the Bay Area a month ago.
posted by smirkette at 8:59 PM on July 10, 2012

aubilenon, are you leaving the country permanently?
posted by madcaptenor at 9:19 AM on July 11, 2012

If you're hanging out in the Mission this evening, you can come see me talk about feminism for the Bay Guardian. I'll try to work Metafilter into my comments.

THE GUARDIAN PRESENTS: "BAY AREA FEMINISM TODAY"
July 11, 6pm-8pm, free
Room 109, City College of San Francisco Mission District branch
1125 Valencia, SF

We're *pretty* sure that the panel won't go for 1000+ comments, start a meTa, and cause the banning/flameout/walkaway of people, but who knows? Only one way to find out!

rtha: Can I borrow your phone?
posted by asterix at 10:33 AM on July 11, 2012 [2 favorites]

Here asterix, take Sam's. I pre-stole it and replaced it with a fried apple pie.
posted by special-k at 11:17 AM on July 11, 2012 [1 favorite]

Glad that worked out - I already loaned my phone to jaybeans, so I think we're all set!
posted by rtha at 1:17 PM on July 11, 2012

I stole Sam's phone from special-k and replaced it with gyoza.
posted by madcaptenor at 1:29 PM on July 11, 2012

aubilenon, are you leaving the country permanently?

I'm only expecting to be gone for a short tropical vacation, but this the future we're talking about here. There's an enormous number of absurdly improbable events that could cause me to change my plans and never come back!
posted by aubilenon at 5:42 PM on July 11, 2012

Pumped for tomorrow.... looking forward to seeing you all!
posted by Afroblanco at 10:30 PM on July 11, 2012

gingerbeer has a board meeting tomorrow, so she'll be late. And in need of alcohol.
posted by rtha at 10:41 PM on July 11, 2012

p.s. panel on feminism resulted in no bannings or flameouts or even shouting. Except for at the bar we went to after, which was loud.

Why are you telling us this? It is not news. I'm pretty sure something like this is true of every meetup on a weekday evening ever.
posted by madcaptenor at 6:48 AM on July 12, 2012 [1 favorite]

It's like you have my calendar.

Plus, I said that upthread. I will be happy to see everyone when I get there!
posted by gingerbeer at 7:26 AM on July 12, 2012

Hiya, I've never been to an SF meet-up. How will I know y'all from the random bar people? Will someone be wearing a MetaFilter shirt or a sign asking for a pony or something?
posted by smirkette at 11:45 AM on July 12, 2012

We'll be the loud group of drunks. Oh wait.

One time-honored technique is to ask random people if they're friends of Matt's, or if they're from the internet. I've used both!

Or you can look at some past photos (thanks, Sam!), which include a decent representation of the usual suspects.
posted by rtha at 12:03 PM on July 12, 2012

I'll be there. Smirkette, I have a floppy blue mohawk and will be wearing filthy black overalls. Fairly easy to pick out of a crowd.
posted by mollymayhem at 1:07 PM on July 12, 2012

Awesome. Thanks!
posted by smirkette at 1:41 PM on July 12, 2012

Despite the fact that SO Many of my FAVORITE PEOPLE and FAVORITE BURRITOS are going to be there, the Boy and I can't make it. I'm feeling decidedly unwell, and have taken refuge under my duvet in far off Oakland.
posted by mostlymartha at 3:40 PM on July 12, 2012

Is anyone else going to arrive early? I'm leaving work around 5 and will probably be there 5:30-ish.
posted by jasper411 at 4:44 PM on July 12, 2012

I'm flaking...almost got in a car accident on my way home and am a little shaken up. Next time. Have fun y'all!
posted by smirkette at 5:18 PM on July 12, 2012

Yay mollymayhem! Boo mostlymartha!


Just boo because I like to see you, not like a generalized boo or anything. Just so we're clear.
posted by grapesaresour at 5:22 PM on July 12, 2012

Oh no smirkette! We'll have to have another meetup soon.
posted by grapesaresour at 5:23 PM on July 12, 2012

Wow, hope you're ok, smirkette! Be well, sorry we won't have a chance to meet.
posted by jasper411 at 5:27 PM on July 12, 2012

Boo mollymayhem! Looks like I am a flaking flaker who flakes. Got home from work and finally found my sewing motivation that's been missing for ages! I want to ride it while I can. See you folks on the next go-round.
posted by mollymayhem at 5:35 PM on July 12, 2012

On my way.

mostlymartha: booooo.

Pregaming with sushi. Will be there by seven!

My wife and I will be a bit late, but we will be there.
posted by Pecinpah at 6:27 PM on July 12, 2012

Afroblanco's gonna kick my ass, since I've been nagging him about not coming to meetups, but....I am also bagging. The headache I've had all afternoon is not improving. Boo. Sorry. Next time, I swear.

I'm running late, but I'll be there.
posted by Pronoiac at 6:53 PM on July 12, 2012

Will anyone still be around at like 8ish?
posted by granted at 7:24 PM on July 12, 2012

People will definitely be here at 8ish. Except maybe some who've ventured out to get burritos (to bring back).
posted by asterix at 7:31 PM on July 12, 2012

Oh good! It sounds like there will have to be another meetup soon! For now I'll just drink an extra Toña for all y'all

I am also a flaking flaker who flakes! Just got home from work and walked the (not-at-all-pleased) dogcow, and now I'm dogcow-tired! Hope you people are having fun!

[Removed the dogcow tag. Sigh.]

Whee! Met someone who went to the high school that my brother taught at back in the day, talked about beer brewing, heard about how much Prometheus sucked, and just general good-natured yapping!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to the schism (splitters!) on the other side of the banquette!

And kudos to Afroblanco for arranging this!

Big fun everyone! Next time at Frjtz!
posted by jasper411 at 12:16 PM on July 13, 2012

Wow, that was fun! Good seeing everybody. Weird that it's been more than a year since my last meetup.

I suppose rtha will just have to wait another year!
