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.
Read the rest here. And do check out Hanna Quevedo's colorful photo set.
Photographer Tim Wagner spent Saturday and Sunday nights at the newly reopened Fox Theater in Oakland. See his shots of the venue (and well, Cake and Modest Mouse) here.
