The Mission is known for it’s thriving latino culture, amazing food, and even more amazing murals. But let’s take a journey and appreciate the beautiful and historical signage that the Mission has to offer. read more »
Blast from the Past: Rewind to 1994
My cousin Natasha and me on the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, 1994
It was April of 1994. I had just turned 10 a whole month earlier. DOUBLE DIGITS! And yes, I was clearly going through my ugly stage. Haha. My Uncle flew my cousin and I up to visit him and my Aunt in San Jose and we took a day trip up to San Francisco. The only things I knew about San Francisco at this point in my life was that the Tanner family lived there and that Rice-A-Roni was allegedly the city’s favorite food. Little did I know that 15 years later, I would call this crazy place home.
What’s Goin On: December 2009
Ahhhh, tis the season for “gaudy decorations” as my friend Bri mentioned last week when we were decorating her house. Also, tis the season for busy schedules made even busier by cool things going on around town. Here are a few things to pencil into your day-planner. (Does anyone use those anymore?)
Not Your Granny’s Craft Fair!
I don’t think I can adequately express how excited I am about Bazaar Bizarre. I’ve been dying to go for YEARS, and finally, the stars have lined up and I will be able to be surrounded by handmade goodness and the awesome people who make it all happen.
I know it’s a little difficult to buy exclusively handmade items during the holidays… but it’s good to try! This is where Bazaar Bizarre comes in handy. Support those who are trying to create goods in ethical and sustainable ways. Also, handmade gifts are extra special because they’re often one-of-a-kind… and they’re made with love. “It’s all for love. L-O-V-E.” – Michael Jackson (Did anyone else see This Is It?)
Here’s the info:
What: Over 120 Vendors, Free Craft Workshops, Food, Music <– I love all of those things.
When: Saturday December 12th & Sunday December 13th 2009
Where: San Francisco County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
Admission: $2.00 for adults, Children under 12 FREE (half of admission is being donated to art education organizations)
ALSO for $5 and a bag of your own old clothes that you no longer wear, you can pick up some new rags and upcycle the crap out of them.
How excited am I? VERY. I live for this shit.
