The weekend will not cry in front of Barbara Walters.
The guys at Umami are rolling $4 sushi, dishing out Wagyu beef sliders and pouring bottles of wine at half price—and they're calling it sumo hour. We're not sure if any wrestling will be involved, but that's a risk we're willing to take.
We feel obligated to mention that there will be art on this art walk. But with $1 oysters at Bar Crudo, $2 PBR at Madrone, half-off pizza at Little Star (from 5 to 7pm) and two-for-one bottles of sake at Tsunami, you won't be obligated to play the role of the starving artist.
Drop by Friday and you'll look on as roughly 100 different artists take hour-long shifts sketching whatever comes to mind. With craft brews and tacos on hand, we're predicting a fair amount of carnitas still lifes.
You may have noticed that this cult scoop shop just tripled their indoor seating (to all of 10). But the action's going to be at the new sidewalk window, where they just started swirling soft-serve. For now, you'll have easy access to vanilla and chocolate, but know that salted caramel is in the works. It's history in the making, folks.
If you've never been up close to witness the pageantry, brutality and unchecked glamour of roller derby, Saturday's game pits local girls the Bay Bombers against the Brooklyn Red Devils. We have it on good word that Apple co-founder Steve "The Woz" Wozniak will be in the house. We assume that means he'll be trackside and not on skates...
