Más Música, Por Favor
If that’s not enough, how about the free tickets to an April 16 show by Bad Lieutenant, consisting of bandmates formerly of New Order, formerly of Joy Division and (yes, he’s taking it there!) formerly of Warsaw? While SF Weekly may have already given the tix away, the band sounds good enough (ie, enough like New Order) to go ahead and pay for the tickets.
On Sunday, the SF Mixtape Society is also hosting it’s second mix-tape mixer from 4-6 p.m. at the Make Out Room. The first one, waaaay back in January was a great time, and it’s good to see they’re getting together for a second round.

Andrew Sarkarati of Mission Mission gets adventurous and checks out taquerias in Tijuana and discovers that, like Indian food in India, it’s waaaaaay better (and cheaper) there.
And in good news for locavores, local salmon fishermen and pescatarians, Eater SF points out that local salmon fishing starts this Sunday for the first time since 2007.

Julie Michelle of CALIBER catches this gem of a street stamp, and also goes on to explain why we have street names engraved into sidewalks in San Francisco.
