On May 16, The Bold Italic, Asiento, and Revolights paired for an amazing evening in the MishiPot microhood (aka Mission Gulch, aka the sweet spot between the Mission and Potrero Hill, from Mariposa to 21st Street between Harrison and Hampshire). There was little sun but lots of fun; tons of people came out to the event to celebrate an up and coming neighborhood that has a lot to offer.
NoisePop hosted an open house at its headquarters with beer, music, and deals on amazing music-related merchandise. Then right around the corner at Blowfish Sushi, NoisePop and The Bay Bridged hosted DJs to celebrate the upcoming Phono del Sol party on July 13.
If guests were still hungry after filling up on sushi, they could head over to the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen for special grilled cheese sliders and a pint for just $10.
Inner Mission served complimentary libations from SPICED, as well as a DJ and a showcase of Android Jones’ curated art. The NWBLK offered snacks and CCA’s Thesis Art show. Heath Ceramics hosted a mini trunk show featuring artist Julia Turner and Mat Dick.
When it was time for dessert, Charles’ Chocolates offered samples and the Coffee Bar hosted a Home Frys game night. Adventurous Sports had free snowboard, ski, and surf lessons on an amazing outdoor sports simulator, and for those looking to relax, In-Symmetry provided free chair massages.
Asiento offered MishiPot guests $1 off beer, wine, and specialty cocktails, and neighbors KQED had a table with some very cool swag, as well as the Mishipot Passport and postcards.
Alite hosted a party with all of its awesome camping and outdoor products on display; the crew also provided snacks and refreshments.
Outside of Alite people played epic games of cornhole.
Our friends at Mosey created a guide to the Microhood so people could navigate the fun. Guests could fill out one of Mosey’s San Francisco madlibs that the company would then send out for them, stamps and all.
