SF this Weekend!
Besides AES, what else is going on? I'm gonna be in SF friday through monday. Plan on Seeing Oxbow and Kayo Dot at the Hemlock, anything else happening?
Although it's in the Eastbay (but VERY close to 19th street bart) I HIGHLY recommend you check out the Oakland art murmur. A bunch of galleries in one area all host art openings on the first friday of every month. Galleries sometimes have music, and the stork club (in the middle of it all) usually has a free show on the night of the art murmur and the festivities tend to spill out into the street for an all around good time vibe (wash any connotation of hippies that might have given you away); all very cool and worth checking out, and then that night, just down the street at the ghost town gallery The trashies (from your seattle) are playing with the bananas and fleshies, which should be a good show if you're into that sort of thing. here's more info on the murmur http://www.oaklandartmurmur.com/pages/about.php

Holy crap man! What isn't going on in town this weekend! In addition to AES there is:
The not strictly Bluegrass Festival (http://www.strictlybluegrass.com/) where Elvis Costello, Steve Earl, Earl Scruggs and many more will be playing. In Golden Gate Park! Free!
My friends These Arms are Snakes are playing Slim's with Thrice and Planes Mistaken for Stars on both the 7th and 8th.
I dunno- there's a zillion other things- those are just two that I am (or wish I was) doing. I'm getting called away, but look online, there's a lot going on, and if the entertainment isn't your cup of tea, just visit as many restaurants as you can squeeze in. Have fun!

That Oakland Art Murmur thing seems really cool as well. Seems Kinda like our "first thursdays" we have up here, but i bet more fun, people seem to know how to have more fun down in SF/Berk/Oak than up here in C-attle.
Least it seems we have more fans down there than anywhere..
I wouldn't count on it... When was the last time you were in the Mission? It's been changing a lot over the last 10 - 15 years, so there are a lot of new restaurants catering to yuppies and hipsters in the mission, you shouldn't go hungry for fear of lard.trodden wrote: Any taco/burrito shops in the mission where the beans are guaranteed lard/animal free?

You're right, but damn a real burrito in the mission is so much better than yuppie food. I've had food from that Taqueria Cancun a few times, people told me it was lard free and it was fucking good, but i always feel a bit "funny" afterwords... maybe cause i eat too much and suck down a few negra modelos as well.tguncle wrote:I wouldn't count on it...

Forgot to add: http://www.burritoeater.com/. Not super helpful with the lard question, but a great resource overall.

Phiz, you rule.
I didn't know there was a third Cancun on market. I've only been to the two mission spots. from the reviews, it seems that the market st one is not nearly as good. My favorite is the one that is kinda across the way from where Mission Records was. straight up sketchy and feeling a bit dangerous but so freaking good.

What does the Amoeba look like? The last time I was on Haight St (the only time I've been to SF in the past) I went to an awesome record shop and bought a few CDs. There was so much there I couldn't take it all. I've heard they've done some cleaning/remodelling to the area since I was there several years ago.
