Some SF restaurant finds

I have been going into San Francisco every Friday to teach my elder art class in the mornings. I treat myself to lunch after and have been going around the City exploring for tasty delights.

The event we saw was called “The baby boomers fucked everything, a psychedelic light show.” It was described as “an epic journey of sight and sound exploring the war’s effect on the American psyche to mark Independence Day.” Performing were [...]

No charades here

The Mallory Cocktail- ask her what’s in it!
Thank you so much to Mallory and Tom and Tiana for inviting us the SF Mime Troupe 4th of July this year. We had no idea what we were in for except that we knew we usually had a blast with these guys and they usually have some [...]

Shark in the Mission

From our friend Debbie Sciales:

Women, Art, Politics show closing June 29

Judy Johnson-Williams and I went to the opening of this show back in March, and it is weird but I haven’t talk to one other woman who has seen it – SO GO IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT! It is a great show with some very provocative installations.
