There's a lot going on this weekend, plus your building might collapse. Don't panic -- we're just talking about Lower Haight Leftovers.
Tonight, from 5pm to 7pm, new D5 Supervisor London Breed is hosting an open house at her City Hall office. It's a reception to both celebrate the opening of the office as well as a new art exhibit featuring several local artists. The reception is free and open to the public, at City Hall room 256.
If you're looking for another reason to leave the neighborhood tonight, consider venturing to the Mission, where Rosamunde will be celebrating the third anniversary of its second location. They'll have $5 Racer 5 beers, and live music by artist Nikki Borodi. It all happens tonight from 5pm to 10pm at 2832 Mission Street (between 24th and 25th).
Here's a reason to stay in the Lower Haight -- it's another edition of Berlin-Style Ping Pong, courtesy of American Tripps. From 8pm to 1am, DSF (520 Haight) will be filled with furious paddling and merriment, plus "chill '90s hip-hop" courtesy of DJ LASER TAD. $5 cover.
Tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon, just a reminder that it's the opening of the "Black Power, Flower Power" exhibit at the Harvey Milk Photo Center. Enjoy some never-before-seen photos from the late 1960s, listen to guest speakers, and maybe take home a book or poster from the event. That's 1pm to 4pm at 50 Scott Street.
On Sunday, Glass Key Photo (442 Haight) will host a sidewalk sale and camera swap. If you have gear you want to sell, contact matt [at] glasskeyphoto {{dot}} com. Otherwise, swing by 442 Haight on Sunday from 11am to 4pm for all your film and camera needs.
Of course, at noon on Sunday, it's the 49ers vs the Falcons. Expect the neighborhood's bars to be just a little bit crowded.
Not to be alarmist, but there's a good chance the building you're in right now is not earthquake-safe. That's the general takeaway from a report published by the SF Public Press this week. It's based on a 2007 study that involved a rough survey of wood-framed apartment buildings around the city that had been built before 1973 and hadn't been reinforced. Our neck of the woods has lots of such buildings, which also happen to sit on a swath of terrain that faces "high liquefaction susceptibility" in the event of an earthquake. Click on through to see if your building is one of those included in the study. And try not to panic.
Finally, a local photographer has been snapping pics of his feet in different settings for the past year or so, and many of those settings are in the Lower Haight. See if you can spot 'em.
