- Judah Gem
Blame too much fancy Texas toast at Outerlands, but by the time I walked into General Store in the Outer Sunset I wanted to hire a trailer to cart its new and vintage wares home. A carefully crafted selection of succulents, art books and letterpress cards is something to behold–but still second to the shop’s [...]
- Gems & Tees? Yes Plz.
On the way to a work date with Ladywood creator Jamie P., we took a peek at After Life, a new boutique on Valencia and 22nd with a nice combination of hardwood floors, non-ratty vintage Ts, and reconstructed jewelry. An ACDC-style font may give the wrong impression, but the shop is full of delicate leather [...]
- This is Mission Cycling
While I’ve been enamored of their aqua blue and black kits for some time–and am convinced that single folks seeking athletic eye candy of either gender should start accompanying their day-long rides–the thing that has me most excited about Mission Cycles this week is the club’s redesigned website. Web app developer Onehouse created the new [...]
- Saltwater Buddha Author Yogis Named New Face of SF Media
On a day of yoga teacher training that involves the start of a vegan cooking experiment of indeterminate length, I feel compelled to call out the work of SF surfer and spiritualist Jaimal Yogis (whose mother–I assume–frequently tells him, as mine does, that “I don’t really understand what you’re doing but I guess you’re busy”). [...]
- ODC, Spring & Strength
Friday night dance shows are disadvantaged from the beginning: chatty crowds can find it hard to focus after the work week with the second act being the only thing keeping them from a cocktail. ODC, the local company that set up shop in San Francisco after arriving with a busload of dancers from Ohio’s Oberlin [...]
- ALITE Designs for Outside-the-City Adventures
My most recent sleeping bag purchase was for a thin and inexpensive bag (the two often going hand in hand) bought early in college, and I have rarely paid them much thought since. Enter ALITE Designs, a new SF-based camping goods company whose neon backpacks and tents have me eagerly planning for this summer’s Wanderlust. [...]
- Blog It Forward >> Inspiration Edition
In celebrating San Francisco designer Victoria Smith (Ms. SFGirlByBay) and her endeavor to encourage dialogue about personal inspiration, I’m taking today mention the organizations, projects, and ideas by women I admire and am motivated by, SF or otherwise. The Blog It Forward project, which includes 300 design aficionados discussing their inspiration, is a kind of [...]
- Roller Derby Dynamism
Since moving to SF almost four years ago and after more post-run ales at Kezar Pub than I count, I’ve wondered what took place inside the stadium across the street. This weekend pals and I found out in the form of co-ed roller derby in which the SF Bay Bombers took on Brooklynites with the [...]
- In Conversation with Skimble’s Maria Ly
In advance of the most recent Skimble iPhone app update, company co-founder Maria Ly talked with Women 2.0 and VidSF about creating the activity tracking platform. She certainly didn’t sit down for the In Conversation series interview at Mission Cliffs, but she did discuss transitioning from a Fortune 500 company to selecting activities for personal [...]
- Pre-V Day Edition
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 [...]
