Fri Oct 13th Weekend Events

If you consider yourself even a mild fashionista then Hayes Valley is beckoning to you this Sunday (10/22)! From the RAGS Sidewalk Sale (Residents Apparel Gallery) to the Capsule Street Fair. The Capsule Street Fair (from 11 am- 6 pm) will utilize the new Hayes Valley Park and contain offerings from over 100 different designers. Yes, that is no typo: over one-hundred dee-zein-urs.

Daily Candy SF has a post for a new Cheese School . The Cheese School of San Francisco continuously offers events; next Thurs 10/19: For the Love of Chocolate andFri 10/20: Drop-In Night.

ODC Theater has the Savage Jazz Dance Company thru the weekend. Explosive, lyrical, and athletic jazz dance to the World Premiere of The Miles David Suite.

Of course, there is Oktoberfest 2006 at Fort Mason (Thurs-Sun). I'm personally not sure if this a genuinely interesting event with authentic food and celebrations, or whether it's just a commercialzed event unworthy of the $15 entrance fee.

The SF Jazz season starts next weekend, with Sonny Rollins kickin' things off (Fri 10/20), Alice Coltrane, Mary Stallings, and others getting top billing. Since I've lost the SFJazz org as a client, I won't go too much further into promoting them.

This Fri/Sat (10/13-14) the Red Vic Moviehouse is showing A Scanner Darkly. Next Fri (10/20) is the very moving film Waking Life. This film is stirring and thought-provoking, and I am impressed by how many know of it or have even seen it.

Apparently Howard Street will be CLOSED TO TRAFFIC FOR NINE DAYS between 3rd Street and 4th Street in SOMA. The software mogul Oracle will have a tent set-up between their two major convention halls outside the Moscone Center for OpenWorld. Howard Street will be closed from next Thursday 10/19 and will re-open on Sat, Oct. 28th.

Enjoy your weekend. Cheers.
