SIDEWALKS ARE FOR PEOPLE!
Saturday, March 27th
ATTENTION: PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO REGISTER YOUR EVENT AND ADD IT TO THE MAP http://www.standagainstsitlie.org/map
**NEW*** CULMINATING GATHERING: 4PM at MARKET/CASTRO PLAZA
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will soon be voting on a law that would make it illegal to sit or lie on the sidewalk anywhere in the city. We think it's a really bad idea to criminalize the act of sitting in public space and we're shocked that San Francisco may be on the verge of adopting the most draconian "sit/lie" law in the country.
We are responding by celebrating public space, San Francisco's diverse and vibrant culture, and San Francisco's history of tolerance.
On Saturday, March 27 people all over San Francisco will be doing what they love on the city's sidewalks and they will be inviting family, friends, and neighbors to join them. Multiple events have already been planned and the list is growing by the hour.
What can you do for "Sidewalks are for People?" Anything! Music, barbecue, yoga, lemonade stand, read, relax, art, talk, sun bathe, chess, meditate, tai chi, eat, knit, dance, paint, write, sit, lie down, play, chalk drawings, sing, DJ, drums, chill -- Anything!
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. Invite your friends to this event!
Coming Soon! A website where you can see planned events or where you can post your own event.

The format will be a brief question-provoking topical presentation by a seasoned burner, mixed with an open forum Q&A with a panel of experienced Burners.

THE ANXIETY SHOW – PROJECT ONE GALLERY
251 Rhode Island, San Francisco April 7 – May 9
Curated by Christine Kristen aka LadyBee
Opening 8- 12 DJ Feral on the decks www.P1SF.com
San Francisco, California April 9th, 2010 -- “Anxiety is the handmaiden of creativity.” - T.S. Eliot. The economic crisis, global warming, overpopulation, corporate globalization, terrorism and the wars have generated a free-floating anxiety, which is difficult not to internalize. The future seems uncertain at best. Will humans prevail, or have we passed the point of no return? Ten artists explore issues of anxiety from global to extremely personal. Five of the artists are sculptors and five do 2D work; of these, three are painters, one uses graphite and one mixed media. Nearly all of the artists have shown work at or attended Burning Man, where LadyBee was the art curator from 1999 - 2008. All of the work in this show is rich in emotional content, some quite dark and some using humor to address serious issues.
Project One is going to have a private opening for press and collectors on March 9th from 7pm- 8 pm and following this the artists reception will commence with DJ Feral and DJ Waterhouse on the decks.
Project One is an art gallery and DJ lounge located in the Design District at 251 Rhode Island Street, just below Potrero Hill. The gallery is 1,200 sq ft with 20 ft ceilings and the lounge is 2,000 sq ft with a decorative blend of raw, yet elegant. The bar features a carefully selected list of wines & sakes, a well-rounded beer menu and soju infused cocktails. In addition, Project One features an eclectic lineup of djs nightly. And, there’s plenty of parking.
Project One – art, music, everyone.
