On Saturday there is the 20th Street party that will run from 12 to 6 p.m. between Bryant and Harrison streets. Here’s the news on that day-long bash.

Pie After

Also, not to be missed, the pie baking contest at Mission Pie. It looks like you may still be able to enter your favorite pie. This runs from 1:30 to 3 p.m. I’m partial to the octopus, blueberry pie baked by Lola, but she ate it.

Breasts break free, reports SFist, on Sunday at Dolores Park.

You could always sign up for the Armory’s BSMD intensive courses. More on that from SFist.

Venturing out?  Not too far out is the Indie Mart on Sunday from noon till 9 p.m.  at 1600 17th Street, SF.  A couple of years ago I paid $100 for an amazing leather purse that got so many compliments that I must return to find the vendor.

Further out.  The Richard Diebenkorn exhibit at  the DeYoung Museum. That is where I will be.

Enjoy the day. If you want any of your events or garage sales posted, send them in or add them to the comment section.

Founder/Executive Editor. I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019 when I retired. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still there.

As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.

Right now I'm trying to figure out how you make that long-held interest in local news sustainable. The answer continues to elude me.
