Fecal face.com I know it has a lousy name but its probably the most in depth guide you'll find on the san fran art scene it lists all the gallery shows in the Bay area (which I think is the focal point of the artistic community).



I'm not from san fran but I badly want to visit.

awesome thanks stub! I suppose I should have posted this when people in SF are actually awake... not at 5 in the morning

good morning SF bump!

you should talk to marblecargirl

see marblecargirl and iRocko! i think they're both up that ways

it's expensive! on par with NYC.



I live here. Jackanapes does too.



lots of cool stuff:



Parks! (esp. Dolores Park, Golden Gate Park)

A nice grassy place to go on the weekends and drink beer.



Cal. Academy of Sciences

Awesome natural history museum. Every thursday is Nightlife, where it's just like the daytime museum only there's booze, no kids, and DJ music.



Some neighborhoods are very warm and sunny. Others are almost constantly foggy. The Mission, Bernal Heights, Noe Valley, and Castro districts are pretty sunny year round, while the closer you get to the ocean (Haight, Sunset, Outer Richmond) can get pretty bleak. like, this morning it looked like a blizzard of fog.



The upper Mission is a fun neighborhood, esp. Valencia St. Cool bars, neat shops.



Fun Cheap SF is full of cheap, fun things. in SF.



If you're vegetarian/vegan, Herbivore is a good place to eat. or even if you're not, it's a good place to eat.



If you like pizza, Little Star has great pizza.



Shows Shows Shows!

peeps

Stay out of East Oakland.

ooh ooh! i'm an hour away. sf meet up!

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass!

(3 days of free music in Golden Gate Park. BYOB)



Treasure Island Music Festival!

(2 days of not free music, on an island)

Bourbon and Branch! Omfg.

Damn! Thats a lot to digest everybody! Thanks so much! I'll start looking into all ya'lls insights! Thanks!

lol @ you guys posting things to do not places to live!



AUBREY! let me know when I can come up! :{D

there's a cool spot on my street where bums like to sleep. and/or urinate. if you have your own sleeping bag, it's a plus. there are already flattened boxes to sleep on!

I went there when I was like 12





I remember the EXPLORATORIUM

The Mission is pretty artsy, young, and happening. you know, where there are a lot of young men and women who probably would roll their eyes if you called them hipsters, but come on.

marblecargirl on Jul 17 '09 at 12:05pm Stay out of East Oakland.

funny stuff but true, that's not where you want start your bay area experience. if you do look in the east bay try alameda, lake merrit area, el cerrrito, emeryville, north oakland, berkeley. then if you don't mind serious commuting there's always fremont, walnut creek, antioch, san leandro, or hayward

Alameda is effing awesome. That's where I live. I highly recommend hanging out on the island sometimes.

Awesome! Thanks everybody!



As It turns out the stars did align and I got a job in ol SF!



so I'm coming to look for places to live!!! Any neighborhood/living tips would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks yall!

Andy

congratulations!

oo congrats!

I m jealous of you moving to sf.. i love that city !!!!

:-)

yay!

This link should help about moving to sf

I hope to live there real bad.

Visited back in 05. Museum of Modern Art was grand, and if you like seafood---- Swan Oysters Depot is the shit.

And don't forget Bushman at Fisherman's Wharf! And tip him!

If you can't afford the city you should consider somewhere on the BART line. I personally love the East Bay cuz I grew up here. I live in Walnut Creek and commute to SF. Only takes 35 min on BART.

oh and stay out of Richmond. I lived there for many years and barely made it out alive.

i'm nearby too! but hopefully i'll be somewhere else soon.



BUT tomorrow is SF renegade fair! who's going?

aw man I just went to renegade fair in brooklyn... good times!

cali bumpers!

blumpers

Just got back from SF apartment hunting and it looks like I've got a spot in SOMA on harrison and 4th... anybody in the hood? give a shout!

Welcome to the City, dude! i live near the 16th st Bart Station. I'm gonna be out of town this weekend, but a Bay Area Thread meetup is way overdue. I didnt know Erica or Jublin were in the Bay Area. lets do something cool one of these days, doodz!

I went to SF once. Its cool and beautiful. And bands always go there. Luckyyyyy. I don't know anything much else about the place.



But I'd like to ask where that spot is, where you took that pi for your avatar. So rad.
