San Francisco's Ballpark Breaks Out The Free Opera
If you’re in the Bay Area and are looking for something classy to do on a Friday night, then have we got the perfect event for you. The San Francisco Opera is putting on a free simulcast performance of Puccini’s Tosca at AT&T Park. Sure, it’s just a live stream of the performance, but we’re pretty sure this is one of only a few opportunities to have opera glasses in one hand and a hot dog in the other.
Things get underway this evening starting at 8:00 pm, but you’re welcome to spread out your blanket and get a good spot from 6:30 pm. Just remember to pre-register your group online, or else you won’t get early access to the festivities. For the best seats, head straight to the front of the stadium’s 103-feet wide high-definition screen.
Leave your Two-Buck Chuck at home, because the ballpark rules are still in effect. Also, no unsealed bottles of any kind, and no picnic baskets. You can bring in picnic-type foods; they just have to be in a soft-sided container. Squished sandwiches don’t sound like a great accompaniment to a night at the opera, so swing by the concession stands for garlic fries instead.

To Do in San Francisco: Valentine's Day Show
After there was the Loved Ones of the '60s, and before there was the Loved Ones with the dude from Kid Dynamite, there was the Loved Ones from the Bay Area. Fans of the Bay Area band of Hightone Records fame should be pissed at the latest name hijacking, because the superior Loved Ones have gotten lost in the shuffle. But the band is fighting back tonight in San Francisco, at a special VD event.
The Loved Ones you should care about play their annual reunion show at Annie's Social Club tonight. The group includes pop genius Bart Davenport on lead vocals, and Mike Therieau, also a Bay Area wonder, on bass and background vocals. If we were in San Francisco on this special day, this is where our $10 would go. Though broken up, the Loved Ones are still apparently big in Spain, which we guess is better than being big in Japan.
