The more I live in San Francisco, the more I go to bars. It constantly astounds me to see how many there are in the city. Every neighborhood has their main drag, and lots of the bigger neighborhoods have a lot more than one. This city has more bars than asian ladies over a hundred years old, and that’s saying somethings.

Shooting for the stars

Going out and getting drunk at a bar is great—don’t get me wrong—but this is such an attainable goal for evening plans. I have been trying to open my eyes up to a less predictable and more interesting nightlife.

Last week I saw Fleet Foxes at the Fillmore on Tuesday, and then Born Ruffians/ Franz Ferdinand (they put on a great show!) at the Fox Theater in Oakland on Wednesday. I’m going to see the SF premier of Objectified on Wednesday with friends Connor (expert filmmaker and documentary connoisure) and Corinna, and I think this is going in the right direction, but where do I go from here? Here’s what I’m thinking: bars, to concerts, to documentary premiers, to art openings/ exibitions, to rap battles, to cock fights, to street races, and finally drum circles.

A little more about Objectified

I follow the Objectified Blog, and there was recently a post about how they need volunteers to help out at the screening of the premier which I already had tickets to. They said they’d buy back any tickets for volunteers, and we’d also get a free poster! If there is one thing I love, it’s free, high-quality printed ephemera. If there is another, it’s documentaries.

So I emailed the address the post told me to, and got a response from Gary Hustwit himself!

I can’t wait for Wednesday, and I’ll be sure and write about it on Jamilo Pitts.
