Free First Tuesdays = The Opportunity for a Cheap Date

For some reason, being smart and cultured is considered sexy. Whether you actually are these things doesn’t really matter as long as you pretend to be, or at least pretend to want to be. And that’s where museum free days come in. Pretty much all of the best museums in

Christmas Comes Early to SF with Saturday's SantaCon 2010!

Magic Show and City Opera SF at 2010 Finale of Friday Nights at the de Young

If you’re like me, you have been to exactly zero editions of Friday Night at the de Young this year, despite the events being FREE and really cool.  And if, like me, you regret this fact, Friday is the last opportunity in 2010 to experience some low-key museum fun after
