Two years ago SF partied hard with the World Series Parade, which ended up in our neighborhood. We had quite a view, with revelers on our door steps. We’re looking forward to celebrating again this Wednesday. Cheers, San Francisco.

Happy Pride, y’all. The celebration is right outside our doors, did you know? Come out tomorrow and Sunday and say hi. We’ll be near the bright red lotus flower in Civic Center, wearing or lotus flower t-shirts. Say hi, show us some love, and get a discounted ticket to see Phantoms of Asia. And of course, all weekend you can get into the museum for JUST $5. Happy Pride, y’all. The celebration is right outside our doors, did you know? Come out tomorrow and Sunday and say hi.
