Happy Friday!

Are you ready for the weekend? For some reason I am not. The temp thing has been slow the last two weeks, and when I am not working the weekend just doesn’t seem as magical. Here’s to hoping that changes by tomorrow.

Some things going on in the Bay Area this weekend…

Do you have little ones that love books, or perhaps little ones that you wish loved books? Why not take them to the 9th Annual Dia de los Ninos, Dia de los libros, music dance and book festival in Delores Park this Sunday? There will be music, multicultural dance, story time, and each kidlet will walk away with his or her own book. Yay! :: SFfuncheap, Mission Learning Center

Speaking of dancing, in celebration of Bay Area National Dance Week the Dancing in the Park & Young Choreographers Festival will be happening on Saturday in Golden Gate Park. Why not go out and see some ballet or modern dance for free, and enjoy Golden Gate Park while you’re at it? :: SFfuncheap

If Samurais, blood and brunch are more your thing than Samurai Brunch at the Dark Room on Sunday should be right up your alley! They provide the gory martial arts flick, Riki-Oh: the Story of Ricky, and brunch snacks, your BYOB or Mimosas or Sake, or whatever strikes your fancy. It’s 5 bucks to get in, free if you happen to bring a gong (or so I read). :: SFfuncheap, the Dark Room

There are plenty of fine art galleries in San Francisco, and on Saturday you can explore and take a gander at 9 of them for free in the Yerba Buena area of the Soma. All galleries are within a 3 block radius and refreshments will be served along the way. ::SFfuncheap, Yerba Buena

And something I am hoping will be as awesome as it sounds is the Bus Obscura tours and Pinhole Camera Festival going on in the Soma on Sunday. I mean come on, a bus turned into a giant animated pinhole camera has to be awesome doesn’t it? Happening in honor of Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, there will also be two pinhole camera galleries, demos and a lot of fun. I will most definitely be at this, not that that’s another reason to come out or anything. :: SFfuncheap, Rayko Photo Center

Have an amazing weekend everyone!
