FREE Victoire Show at Smack Mellon Gallery Tonight
At first, I was going to highlight all of the cool things going on tonight in Dumbo as part of the First Thursday Gallery Walk. But then I realized that there are, like, A LOT, and decided to pick just one that’s sure to be awesome and leave the rest

The Fun Things To Do On Alameda Island
We got to the East Bay in 20 minutes & never worried about traffic, a bridge toll, parking…or any other hassle. Our only concern was drinking in the beautiful views on the SF Bay Ferry.
