Okay, but seriously...

For those of you who have heard about my love affair with San Francisco, well, too bad, you are going to hear some more. As a testament to all the things I love about this place, here’s a sampling of activities just in this past weekend alone. This is in addition to the usual parties, concerts and shows, etc. I heart this place.

Mission Indie Mart: it started as a design fair of sorts in a backyard with beers and music and has evolved into a lil event with 45 local vendors (vintage gear, sock monkeys, letterpress, cupcakes, belts made from tires, etc.) “Good stuff, fun clothes, stuff for the ladies and the fellas. Lots of eye candy, some rock and roll, shopping and good times!”

Illegal Soap Box Derby: Decked out, makeshift soap box races down beautiful Bernal Hill. Last one of the season. Go!

Cardboard Tube Fighting League Tournament: Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like.

Chomp! A Carnivorous Plant Exhibit: At the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. Flesh-eating plants. Gotta love ‘em.
