Swing, Fashion & Haunted Houses 4/15

We're only 3 away from the 100 post mark. I'm looking at my calendar and it's almost hard to believe all the events I've found and posted in the last 3 1/2 months. So far this blog isn't exactly where I want it to be, but it's a start. There will be changes for the better coming soon, but you have to start somewhere. I think for once I'm actually going to enjoy my weekend. After such a tiresome week, I know I'm not the only one that deserves it.

FRIDAY

Disaster Preparedness Fair
Union Square
Powell St. &  Geary, San Francisco
11am - 12pm

We haven't had a major earthquake since '89, and with all the craziness happening in Japan, there's a good chance we could be next. So to prepare for that next big earthquake, the Red Cross is throwing a public rally in Union Square. Play some games, get free first-aid training, and win a disaster preparedness kits. Lots of things to do all to help you gear up for that day. Better safe than sorry.


Spring Swing Concert
Oakland City Center
1414 Clay St., Oakland
12pm - 1pm

Big band music is the best. I wish I could have been born during that time, but I'll have to settle for listening to mp3 and watching old movies. The Oakland city center is having a spring swing concert today at noon featuring Larent Fourgo and His Ensemble. Stop by for some old fashioned sounds for this free concert.


F3 Fashion & Art Show
