Amnesia! The Hardest Working Band in La Misión

Every time theres some kind of festival or event going on in the Mission you can be sure that the super Latino trio Amnesia is rockin' the casa. These muchachos have been a favorite at MISBA sponsored events. Their new album Anhelos is a great mix of community-inspired rolas, power rockin' riffs, and Mana-flavored ballads that make you wanna get cheek-to-cheek with your ruca or your viejo.

AMNESIA: SUENOS

Hey Loco Buy Local

This past weekend on the 24th & Capp parking lot (known as the MacDonalds lot, but better known as the site of one of the dopest murals depicting peoples in the struggle for a better mundo) local mom & pop merchants were out selling t-shirts, native crafts, mexican silver jewelry and all this other fresh stuff from throughout the americas. Up & coming merchants group MISBA (Mission Small Business Association)led by immigrant & indigenous merchants have been doing it real nice holding monthly events highlighting the one of a kind artisenias, crafts, jewelry and clothing offered in La Mision.

Be sure to drop some monedas this weekend (Feb 16 & 17) cause the MISBA crew will be out on the 24th & 16th Street BART plazas.

Cant Stop Wont Stop! MISBA members, with the support of Mission Economic Development Association, have also been working on legislation and gathering hundreds of signatures to limit the number of chain stores that can impact the Mission District. There was a hearing today at the much hated on Planning Commission- no friend to community- we'll be sure to get some updates over the next few days.
