Weekend Photos: Let the Sun Shine In

Photo by Bhautik Joshi

This is how you know you’ve lived in temperate San Francisco for too long: you complained about the rain at least once this week.

Well, how about three fun things to do this weekend, instead of complaining?

• Johnnie Walker Whisky Tasting Party. My friend once took me to one of Johnnie Walker’s fine tastings for my birthday: we cleansed our palates with strawberries dipped in black pepper and drank whisky served by Johnnie Walker girls. Let’s hope this year the organizers heard my somewhat loud complaint and hired some Johnnie Walker dudes. The whiskies, especially Johnnie Walker Blue, are mighty fine. Oct. 5-8. Dogpatch Studios, 991 Tennessee St. Take Muni there: T, 22, 48.
• Writers with Drinks. The always-inspiring reading series led by Charlie Anders returns with five of your favorite authors, this time including Rebecca Solnit (Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas). Saturday, Oct. 8., from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., doors at 6:30 p.m. Make-Out Room. 3225 22nd St. between Mission and Valencia. Take Muni there: 12, 14, 22, 33, 48, 49, 67
• Oh, and we’re not getting bombed. It’s just Fleet Week.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!
