I’ll keep the pink links to a minimum, but there are quite a few Valentine’s Week events in SF that deserve consideration. We can get the worst named out of the way first–that being “Singles & Sprinkles” at food community space 18 Reasons on Thursday. The Little Lane art studio will be helping with cookie decoration over Domaine de Montrieux “G-Spot” Vin de Table 2006 (“g” being for grapes, goofball).
Jesse Hawthorne Ficks is planning a two-day tribute to filmmaker John Hughes with three for $10 screenings as part of his “Midnight for Maniacs” series at The Castro Theatre. Non-ironic late ’80s film lovers may find back-to-back “Pretty in Pink” and “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” on Saturday perfectly Cupid-esque.
My neighborhood dance spot Rickshaw Spot will host the SF Bike Coalition’s annual “Love on Wheels” fundraiser on Friday evening (after which sitting in a dark theater may be ideal). Free valet parking will be available for the ’70s-style dating game. Participating cyclists will be quizzed on local destinations and paired for sponsor-covered dates. Bike bachelorettes, fear not: in response to the question “are cyclists better lovers?,” the invitation states:
“Clearly, yes! Cycling women are known to be low-maintenance, more independent, and more fun-loving than women who wear makeup to the gym.” (See the full invite for endurance details.)
