It's ironic that residents of a city that welcomed 18 million visitors in 2014 need suggestions for ways to spend their leisure time, but we are a hard-working lot.
This week, step out of the rat race by attending one of several literary events at Green Apple Books, celebrate the innate beauty and virtue of the vegetable, or help refurbish a beloved neighborhood art project. Shrug off that nine to five, Sunset.
Green Apple Books on the Park Author Events: Tomorrow, Friday, Tuesday
Since opening on 9th Avenue in August 2014, Green Apple Books on the Park has become a lively literary hub, hosting multiple author events each week. Tonight's event with author Alexis Madrigal is happening near Union Square, but there are three other events in upcoming days:
Tomorrow night, high school students and literary editors will present Best Non-Required Reading 2016, an anthology drawn from "literary magazines, chapbooks, graphic novels, blogs, transcripts, and anything else that strikes their fancy."
On Friday, South Korean author Bae Suah and translator Deborah Smith will discuss Suah's novel, A Greater Music. Described as "a novel of memories and wandering," the book "blends riffs on music, language, and literature with a gut-punch of an emotional ending."
Finally, next Tuesday, author Emma Bland Smith will read from Journey, her picture book about the 2,000-mile trek of the first wild wolf sighted in California in nearly 100 years.
World Veg Fest: Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 6:30pm
The San Francisco Veg Society is celebrating the 17th annual World Veg Day on October 8 and 9 at the County Fair Building (9th Ave. & Lincoln Way).
The "action-packed" festival will offer cooking demonstrations, vegan lifestyle lectures, free samples, children's activities, live music, and other attractions. Since 1968, SFVS has been working to promote "a plant-based diet for healthy, ethical and sustainable living."
Here's a look at what else is going on in the Inner Sunset over the next week. For more activities around town, or to submit your own, visit hoodline.com/events.
