Hallelujah, it's Friday. If you're looking for something to do this weekend, you've got plenty to choose from right here in our neck of the woods. Here are some highlights.

Tonight, Push The Feeling returns to Underground SF (424 Haight) from 9pm to 2am. It'll be a disco-heavy night featuring a DJ set by The Beat Broker and a live performance by Plaza, both of whom have new records to celebrate. As usual, YR SKULL and epicsauce DJs will be taking their turns at the turntables as well. It's free before 10pm, $5 thereafter, and 21+. Also tonight, American Tripps ping-pong takes over DSF (520 Haight). Grab a paddle and mosey around the table as you enjoy the night's Beastie Boys theme, courtesy of DJ Jamie Jams, and drinks from guest bartender Jay Beaman of Dear Mom and Thieves Tavern. It starts at 8pm, and entry will run you $5 at the door. Or, if jazz is your thing, head up to the African American Arts and Cultural Center (762 Fulton) tonight for the 7th annual Jazz on the 'Mo event. There'll be live music, beer, wine, appetizers, and a silent auction, with proceeds benefiting the Buchanan YMCA. The 21+ event runs from 8pm to 11pm, and tickets are $45 in advance or $55 at the door. Tomorrow, head on over to NoPa (the neighborhood, not the restaurant) for the annual NoPa Block Party. On Lyon Street between Grove and Hayes, there'll be food, folks, and fun. We're talking live music, a BBQ, family activities like bouncy houses and face painting, a yoga demo, and a presentation by Supervisor London Breed in honor of NOPNA creator David Habash, who passed away in March. The event runs from 10am to 6pm, and you can get more details here. Finally, if you've got a green thumb, swing by Hayes Valley Farm on Sunday, where they'll be having a plant sale. The farm, as you've probably heard, needs to vacate its location at 450 Laguna by the end of this month, so everything must go! From kale to broccoli to things we've never heard of, there are plenty of items up for grabs from noon to 5pm. Anything else going on this weekend that we should know about (besides Mother's Day, that is)? Let us know in the comments, or send us an email -- tips [at] haighteration {{dot}} com.
