It may only be Tuesday, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about fun to be had in advance of this weekend:
Thursday’s Cinema by the Bay festival kickoff at Temple is to include new Wholphin DVD shorts by Wild Things creators Spike Jonze and Lance Bangs (and if you’re looking for movement of your own, Club Bootie mashup men Adrian and the Mysterious D will be playing late).
On Friday night the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery will kick off their Passport program with a party at the Mission’s Polish Club. The idea: you buy a $25 passport at Rare Device or online and tour SF neighborhoods over the weekend to collect artist-created stamps, including those created by Clare Rojas and Andrew Schoultz. The party is free to “passport holders” and valet bike parking is available, of course.
I’ll be celebrating my new 18 Reasons membership at the Guerrero St. space on Sunday for the last of four master coffee roaster sessions. Here’s to hoping that De La Paz’s tutorial on brewing the perfect cup gets me through the impending Monday morning.
