This Sunday (8.5): Argentine Tango in Union Square

I love this tradition. Every first Sunday of the month, BATango (Bay Area Argentine Tango Association) hosts free afternoons in Union Square. There's usually performaces and maybe a class from 2pm-3pm, then they open up the stage for dancing. It's free! I'll definitely be there, give me a ring on my mobile if you want to meet up.

We're going with the Sommers to Stern Grove this Sunday!  Love the idea of spreading out on a mat with a picnic, enjoying wine, and listening to music with friends. 

Details: Os Mutantes and Los Amigos Invisibles are playing at Stern Grove this Sunday, July 15.  Check out link to hear their music.

So as I mentioned before, AIGA and the Apple Store have joined force and presented a series of lecture called "Pro Sessions: Design Remixed." Each month, on a Wednesday night, at the Apple Store, a designer will share their thoughts and insights "how design has evolved and how creativity has diversified beyond any single discipline."

So this coming Wednesday, July 18, at 6:00 p.m. in the Apple Store at downtown San Francisco, Christian Haas, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, will be giving his lecture.

Christian Haas is an award-winning Group Creative Director with over fifteen years of multidisciplinary advertising experience. In February 2006, he joined Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco and has since worked for clients like Adobe and Netflix.
