Needles & Grooves

@tvham what say you?

Oh shit! Where are you staying? And do you want food recs or bars or hikes, etc?

We are staying at Hotel Cartwright on Sutter. Our flights been delayed due to a storm.

We are originally from the Midwest so the only hiking we do is from bars to restaurants.

That's my kind of hiking. Have fun!

Been a hot minute since I've been down to the Bay, but City Lights Books is always a must for me.

there's a fantastic exhibit at SFMOMA closing tomorrow called Art of Noise, I've heard nothing but rave reviews about it

Also, Giants vs A's in Oakland tomorrow at 1pm!

This is a fun speakeasy bar not far from you Felix San Francisco

I am a White Sox fan and it looks like the Giants are hosting them during the beginning of the week. We might try and catch a game at Oracle Monday or Tuesday depending on the weather.

The true purpose of this community in action - bonding thru music then guiding each other to booze, food and sports.

I've got kids, so most of our little trips to the Bay involve things like the Exporatorium and Academy of Sciences...

Let me add, that as an adult, I LOVE going to the Exporatorium.

I don't know if there's a showing of the beach Blanket Babylon musical review while you're there, but it was an absolute blast when I saw that with my SO 15-ish years ago. It's been on at the same place for ages from what I gather. Show is updated with the times.

Damn it I guess the show ended it's run, but got replaced by something else that seems well reviewed.
