WeekendBuzz Aug 21-23
Our crack event research team has culled the most cool and happenin' events from all the goings on this weekend. All killa, no filla! So go have some fun!
Friday – Sunday Sausalito Film Festival
Admit it, we can all use some more culture. And isn't it cool party conversation to drop that you just saw a screening of a hot new short or documentary? Well, here's your chance, so head on over to sunny…OK beautiful at least…Cavallo Point at the foot of the GG Bridge this weekend for some. Culture, that is. Hit a 'Special Secret Screening Party' (some tickets still remain) that so secret even we at VdV don't have full details!
What: Sausalito Film Festival
Where: Cavallo Point, 601 Murray Circle Fort Baker
When: Friday – Sunday
Cost: $12 per film at the door; special events cost more

Saturday SF Street Food Festival
This is the 'other' street fair that occurs on Folsom Street. Meaning, no (or at least fewer) Prince Alberts than the one coming up in September. This Street Fest is all about good street food, and there's also a beer & cocktail garden, as well as music and street art to be had as well. And the kicker – proceeds benefit La Cocina, which supports 'food entrepreneurs' mainly women from culturally diverse and immigrant communities. So go make a pig out of yourself and get a warm and fuzzy for supporting a good cause. It's a win-win.God I hate myself for using that phrase…
What: SF Street Food Festival
Where: La Cocina (Folsom betw. 25th & 26th)
When: Saturday, 11a-7p
Cost: Free admission; $20-150 depending on your hunger

Sunday – Perry's 40th Anniversary Block Party
My how time flies. Perry, ya don't look a day over 60. So help celebrate the success of a very cool guy and an SF Institution. Head to the original Perry's location on Union Street for all the festivities – celebrity bartenders, live music, good food and drink, and it being Union Street at least 1/2 a chance for a random hookup. If that's what you're into, that is. So dodge the d-bags and go!
What: Perry's 40th Anniversary Block Party
Where: Perry's on Union, 1944 Union St @ Buchannan
When: Sunday, 11a-5p
Cost: Free admission (no that doesn't mean the drinks are free, fool)
