Our weekend involved cheese, ropes and Andy Warhol. In that order:
Saturday afternoon's Grilled Cheese Invitational at Dolores Park was well attended - all 500 tasting wristbands sold out in minutes, a good hour before the event began! Tamara Palmer
has the skinny at SFoodie.
Saturday evening was quite literally tied up in knots at Femina Potens, where some lovely submissive types helped demonstrate "The Art of Restraint." See Gretchen Robinette's somewhat
NSFW photo set here.
Also on
Saturday: Music Editor Jennifer Maerz attended the de Young's fancy Warhol Live Pop Party:
The main floor of the museum was packed mostly with well-heeled women
in fancy vintage, their male counterparts in boring black suits, and a
couple flamboyant artist types who took the theme to heart and really
tried to make a visual impression. The hall was also stocked with open
bars (featuring signature cocktails like the "Nico-tini") and kitschy
food like Pop Tarts, pizza, and donut holes. It was difficult to spend
much time there, though, unless you were really excited about the way
the Unauthorized Rolling Stones "jazzed up" the Stones catalog by
camping it up like a bad wedding band.
