Icer Air Takes Off

Watch extreme snowboarders and skiers ride rails onto a snow-packed Mason Street tonight in preparation for Saturday's Icer Air event, where you'll see athletes catapult, do tricks thirty feet in the air and generally freak you out with their ballsiness.

Free, 8pm, Oct 16, in front of Ruby Skye, 420 Mason St (at Geary), 415-693-0777, event schedule here

Saturday
Solage Double Your Leisure Package

Butchery Class at Avedano's
SLICING

Butchery Class at Avedano's

The butchery classes at Avedano's are back, which means you can become the expert knife-wielding home butcher you've always wanted to be. Break down a lamb and pig carcass, then leave with new skills...and lots of meat.

Jack Falstaff's New Sunday Night Supper

Casa Munras' Playing Hooky Package
HOOKY

Casa Munras' Playing Hooky Package

Instead of spending Sunday night dreading work and Monday working, gun it to Monterey, where you can grab a massage, relax with a free bottle of wine and share some QT with your woman. You'll be ready for reality on Tuesday, promise.

$329 per night (Sunday and Monday only) through December, Casa Munras Hotel, 700 Munras Ave, Monterey, 800-222-2446

Fox Force 5 at Elixir
MIXING

Fox Force 5 at Elixir

Like Pulp Fiction meets Coyote Ugly, this mixology contest features plenty of Square One vodka samples and—more important—five sultry female bartenders mixing and mashing to see who comes out on top. We think we're all winners here.

Free, 6:30-8:30pm, Oct 20, Elixir, 3200 16th St (at Guerrero), 415-552-1633, RSVP here
