COFFEE TALK

            Breakfast Burritos and Caffeine, Right This Way

If you’ve been looking for a new little café with a mezzanine and a giant mural of an octopus, then lucky
day. Karma Café has everything you need, up to and including smoothies, breakfast burritos, sandwiches and
espresso. Definitely espresso.

Saturday

DOUBLE JEOPARDY

            Behold: The Rise of Elbo Room Jack London

With the fate of the beloved Elbo Room still a little uncertain, it’s comforting to know that their second
iteration has just opened in Jack London Square. Grab a cocktail in the bar/pub area downstairs, then head
upstairs during a live show to dance like (hopefully) no one’s watching.

CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING

            Timbuk2 is Having a Break-Up-With-Your-Bag Sale

Bring in your old, gently used bag to Timbuk2’s Hayes Valley location this weekend and magical things will
happen. Namely, you’ll get 30% off of a completely new, much more stylish and commute friendly bag by
trading in the old one. Still counts as magic.

CRAFT KINGS

            Show Up. Drink Drinks. Leave With Cool Stuff.

Just a friendly reminder that the Renegade Craft Fair is coming back this weekend, which means tons of local
makers slinging their wares—like Campfire Studio, Roxanne Designs and Meg Meyers—alongside music and
cocktails. We hope you’ve found this both friendly and a reminder.

Sunday

GREEN DAY

            It's Called Avocado Con, So...

Chances are, you like avocados. So you should probably grab tickets to Sunday’s Avocado Con, which will
feature special dishes from food trucks (Nombe’s AvoFries with housemade lime-serrano aioli, Choux’s avocado
mousse…). There’s an unlimited beer option, too. Well, “option.”

What Else Is New

Joe Starkey is the tallest person in the room 90% of the time. He enjoys liquors that aren’t smoky, dive bars that are, and has a vague dread that someone, somewhere might be having more fun than him.
