The Live Local Card: Support Local Business While Getting Discounts

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Have you heard about the Live Local Mission card yet?  It’s pretty fucking badass and probably the perfect stocking stuffer for your favorite Missionite.  Basically it’s a card that allows you to get awesome discounts at local businesses in the Mission.  And the businesses range everywhere from a Tae Kwon Do gym to bars to cooking classes.

I remember in high school we had a similar card and one of the deals was four FREE tokens at the local arcade.  Fuck man, we were there everyday after school and I still never got any better at Street Fighter 2.  But I digress…

If carrying around a plastic card seems ungainly and bad for the environment, the Live Local folks got your solution: an iPhone app!  The app is actually FREE to download and gives you access to a map and list of participating Live Local businesses.  Then if you wanna get the discounts you just have to buy a code.  Therefore you’re being thrifty and eco-conscious.  Good on you!

You can learn more and purchase the card or app here.

PLEASE NOTE: If you’d like to cop the card or the app please do so directly after clicking one of the links on this page.  That way BAS.com gets a little taste of revenue thus helping keep the site running.  Keeping this site up is expensive yo!

Enjoy your discounts!
