The weekend who sold the world.
FROM PERKS
Tell it to your face: Perks has a selection of organic shaving creams, salves and pre-/post-shave oils from Crux Supply Co. for sale at this very moment. They’ll make everything smooth, soft and right with the world. Trust us.
SCREEN SPIRIT
Wes Anderson movies: great. Robin Williams: also great. News that there’s both a Wes Ander-thon all weekend at the Roxie and a Robin Williams fest at SoMa StrEat Food on Sunday: insert overly enthusiastic word of choice here.
LONG, STRANGE TRIPP
A fifth-birthday party might very well evoke images of cake and five-year-olds. But when it’s American Tripps’ fifth-birthday party, which happens on Friday, there’s ping-pong and DJs and delicious frothy beverages. And cake. There’s still cake.
DRAFT DAY
Here’s the part of Saturday where you stroll around drinking beers from breweries like Temescal and Evil Twin at the Oakland Beer Festival. Maybe you head into the Trappist for a sour bitter fest, or to Umami Mart for a Matsuri fest. Basically, you’re drinking beer in Oakland on Saturday.
WRESTLE MANIA
Well, looks like you’re going to a La Cocina–hosted taco festival on Pier 70 this weekend. It also looks like you’ll be watching masked Mexican wrestlers depicting good versus evil while eating tacos and drinking mezcal. We don’t make the rules.
ADULT SWIM
A pool party with a great DJ and live bands and barbecue and drinks. You get to go to one of those this weekend at the Phoenix. Just thought we’d let you know that before you carried on living your life without knowing that.
Lauren Sloss requires a climate that allows her to wear motorcycle boots daily. She likes her bourbon neat and her martinis dirty, and would like to be the lead singer of a punk rock band when she grows up.
