Open Art Surgery

"El Corazon de la Mission" is like Mensa meets a party bus. MacArthur 'genius grant' award-winner Guillermo Gomez-Peña and fellow Mexico City artist Violeta Luna lead the radically analytical conga line onto the infamous 'Mexican Bus,' through ritualistic tequila-drinking all the way to lowrider worship. It's different from those faux cable car rides -- both have booze, but only one features an art-informed love of the Mission District and all it has to offer. Your guides are El Mexterminator, a big handsome fella dripping with eyeliner and irony, and a "cyborg senorita," who perform witty and dramatic performance-art pieces to honor the past and celebrate the present.
