- Fifty24SF Opens “Over Normal”
Radiohead’s interactions with San Francisco have been overwhelmingly positive (if you discount sound interruptions at the first Outside Lands fest, of course). I’m excited to see that their artist collaborator Stanley Donwood is having his first stateside show, “Over Normal,” at Fifty24SF on Fillmore starting tonight. Following a reception tonight, the work that plays on [...]
- Welcome September + Architecture & The City Festival
Hearing about “Investigating Urban Metabolisms” so soon after lunch may have you reeling, but program details for the seventh Architecture and the City Festival may get you ready to digest (tours, films and lectures, that is). For the month of September, the American Institute of Architects’ local chapter has planned events that consider how information, [...]
- Building by the Block
My first question upon seeing creator Patrick Chirico’s “Build Your Block” pillow set based on Brooklyn brownstones was when SF renditions might be made. The answer? When you’re ready. For $75, your favorite corner store/Victorian/vertical park image can grace your couch. Why not go for a full set of Painted Ladies?
- SFMADE on Branding Local Products
You may hear “California public benefit corporation,” but what local group SFMADE actually advocates for is local manufacturing that makes good economic sense. Enter an event series that includes manufacturing best practices and marketing tips for companies with local roots. This Thursday, Rickshaw Bags founder and former Timbuk2 head Mark Dwight will speak in the [...]
- Digital Goings On for End of August
Lest you think the return of summer weather has people flocking only to Zeitgeist, there are two meetups worth mentioning on the social web front this week that may make being inside (temporarily, of course) worthwhile. Tonight’s Chomp Tastemaker Party at Sloane on Mission sold on quickly, for which you can thank a Rose/Scoble duo. [...]
- Starting the Week the Haberdash Way
I just returned to SF from an East Coast/Midwest holiday to find that temperatures in the City by the Bay have risen to near-summer levels, and I’m hopeful that they’ll have us turning to new closet items over the parkas we’ve become accustomed to. Enter The Haberdash, a local fashion show and party taking place [...]
- ArtHaus Hosts Schiavo’s “Backyard”
After making SF Gate’s Best of the Bay List for local galleries, SOMA shop ArtHaus isn’t resting on its laurels. Co-founders and gallerists James Bacchi and Annette Schutz are currently hosting a fantastic (if head-scratching) set of images with “The Backyard,” chromeogenic prints by Chris Schiavo. I was most excited for works compiled for the [...]
- To North Carolina with Love
Graphic designer extraordinaire Jamie Panzarella passed along Raleigh Denim: Handcrafted in North Carolina from David Huppert, and I loved it after a) researching small batch denim crafting in SF for The Bold Italic, and b) taking a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains last weekend. And not to fear: you’ll see more from the Ladywood [...]
- Urban Flow on Video and In Person
After practicing at its beautiful space in the Mission, I wanted to share the first part of a video series introducing Rusty Wells’ Urban Flow Yoga studio. In this short clip about one of the city’s first donation-based yoga communities, Rusty describes the studio’s intention to serve all by removing cost prohibitions that deter people [...]
- MacNaughton Gets Sneakerific
When Women 2.0 co-founder Shaherose Charania told me that she received a pair of Asics as a thank you gift for speaking at a conference recently, it made me want to get back on the speaker circuit. In the meantime, I loved local illustrator Wendy MacNaughton’s poster below promoting a party Thursday at Shoebiz on [...]
