A Toast to SF's DIY Spirit and the Indie Mart (happening on Sunday)
From a city built on gold dust and denim to one tenaciously rebuilt after an earthquake and fire, San Francisco has a history of saying, ‘œFuck it dude, I’ll just do this shit myself.’ DIY culture runs deep here. Whether talking about longshoremen striking in order to create their own
Fart Party Book Release Party at Needles & Pens

Tamale Lady's Birthday on Monday
I totally forgot about this until I saw it on Laughing Squid yesterday. The Tamale Lady is the godmother of San Francisco’s street food scene. She’s been slanging her wares for close to 15 years and they are as good as ever. But she’s more than just a lady selling
