mission freak!

Don’t forget that amidst your last weekend of pre-finals revelry, this Sunday is Mother’s Day, one of our most important holidays. Make sure you take time to remember your mom, or grandmother, or wife/girlfriend, or whatever. You totally should already have a card in the mail. If not, you can totally snag a sarcastic and hilarious card like the one here at Some Ecards (thanks!). Your mom probably won’t get it, but she’ll appreciate that you thought of her at the last minute and sent her a digital card to say, “See, after all this time I forgot about you until the last minute.” Just kidding. But really, you can make somebody’s day this Sunday and it doesn’t even have to be your mom. Just be nice to moms. Now without further ado, all the things you can do in the days leading up to it so that you totally forget that shit.

Thursday
Film School w. Airiel, Foul Tip, Birth Rites / Picador / 9pm / $7
‘Nuff said. Did you really need more?

Friday
The Mayflies w. Highway Shelter / The Industry / 9pm / $6 / 21+
Friday night, Mission Creek vets the Mayflies rock the newest venue in town, The Industry, which also happens to be the most awfully named venue in town. Rumor has it that the once-Q Bar has undergone a totally sick makeover and is going to become a legitimately hot venue. If you haven’t seen it yet, this would be a good chance to check it out.

Saturday
What a Load of Craft! 4 / Picador / Noon-6pm / FREE
Your very own DIY local craft fair and record swap, all day at the Picador free of charge. What more can you ask for?

Dead Meadow w. The Black Hollies, Mondo Drag, Brutus and the Psychedelic Explosions / Picador / 9pm / $8
…oh yeah, you could get Matador Records’ Dead Meadow in town for an evening of totally spaced out stoner indie rock. Kind of like a slowed down, fried up Pavement. Their new record, Old Growth, came out in February to positive reviews.
