SF: Weekend Events August 24-27

Calling all fashionistas and fashionistos (-toes?). Summer season is pretty much done, with fall styles already here for back-to-school. That means sales!

• Flight 001 is a cool travel accessories store that first grabbed my attention from the moment I stepped into their store on Greenwich Ave (at Jane St) in New York. Their summer sale (thru 9/6) has product flying out at 30-75% off.
• Flicka Sale: Flicka is a fashionable women's clothing and home decor boutique, now with prices up to 50% off thru 9/2.
• Behind the Post Office Clearance Sale: with a name that is just about as long as the eight days you have to save, it should be well worth the visit to Upper Haight. Now thru the end of Aug, save on what others might've paid full price for from the great BTPO boutique.
• Her Big Summer Sale: now thru Sunday 8/26 save up to 70% at Her on Fillmore Street.
• McCaulou's Summer Clearance. I thought McC's had long gone the way of Emporium (or Emporium-Capwell's, or Capwell's), I. Magnin, and other large department stores. Get to Oakland for savings up to 75% off (thru Aug).
• Courtoue Closing Sale:on Geary Blvd, thru the end of Aug. They've specialized in fine menswear: sportcoats, shirts, shoes, trousers, and ties.
• Feria Urbana is an urban fair with some local artists selling their wares. Where? At Canvas Gallery, 9th & Lincoln, Sat 8/26 12-5 pm, free admission.
  
• Linen Outlet Closing Sale on Polk St (at Jackson St), thru end of Aug: this location was vacant for a long time before Linen Outlet took it just over a year ago. An "outlet" "closeout", gee isn't that redundant?

Now, onto SF Events.

Revenge of the Book Eaters: A benefit for (local author Dave Egger's) 826 Valencia (writer's workshop) with feature musical appearances by some well known artists like Aimee Mann. Mon 8/28 8 pm, tix are $35.

Skye at the Independent Sat 8/26. Skye was originally the voice of Morcheeba, now an independent musical artist with her own material. Ethereal, sweet, and unique.

Def Leppard and Journey are at the Concord Pavillion tomorrow, Fri 8/25 at 7 pm. I blogged this before with other upcoming SF Bay Area concerts. So c'mon 'mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love; sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up.' You know.

Da Vinci Code is playing tonite (8/24) at the Red Vic on Haight. Fri & Sat District 13 (Banlieue 13) is screening. I've blogged these before, but there you go.

Oh, if you can plan ahead enough... The Castro Theatre is having it's First Annual Canine Film Festival October 7th & 8th. Cheers.
