Game Night Blows Up, Tomorrow Night At California Academy of Sciences

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Vintage Nintendo in a rainforest?

We love Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences. Not only are the tickets half the price of regular museum admission (only $12!), but it’s 21+ so there are never any snot-nosed kids kicking the back of your chair in the planetarium (which boasts the most accurate rendering of the universe ever created). Every week, on top of the usual exhibits they also bring in additional shows, exhibitors or DJs to keep things from feeling too museum-like, and this week they’re bringing the game night experts from homefrys so you can make some new friends over a couple of rounds of Jenga, Catchphrase and everyone’s favorite: Apples to Apples.

MORE IMPORTANTLY: They’ll be bringing along Wii sports and Old School Nintendo, hopefully on some sort of unnecessarily large screen, so you can relive that childhood you wasted in your friend’s basement pounding the PowerPad in Track & Field. Although, you might not want to let the penguins see you playing Duck Hunt, that just seems cruel.

And don’t forget, if you’re birthday is within 7 days of any Nightlife event, you can get FREE admission.

Andrew is an East Coast transplant from Virginia hamming it up in San Francisco without any intention of leaving. Having worked every typical job from Bike Shop Employee to Bartender to Ad Agency Hotshot, to Dotcom Layoff he now busts his ass covering the "weird things to do" beat for gracious local audiences at SFAppeal.com and rallies the Western Addy/Lower Haight/Panhandle neighborhoods into action at AggressivePanhandler.com. His work was published in a real, paper magazine one time. One day he might even figure out how to make money from it.
