TONIGHT: "JUXTAPOZ" PRESENTS "WRENCHED" RELEASE @ 111 MINNA

PHOTOS FROM "BAY AREA GRAFFITI" BOOK RELEASE PARTY & ART OPENING

The "Bay Area Graffiti" book release party and art opening at 111 Minna was a cool art event, with great work by artists featured in the book, a DJ spinning old-school Bay Area jams, and a nice, chill vibe. (See more pics here.) Sharing the space was art from the equally cool "Pin Up Babycakes" exhibit, which runs until the 28th.

BIG BOOK SALE STARTS TODAY FROM 10-6 @ FORT MASON CENTER

Friends of the San Francisco Public Library is throwing their 44th Annual Big Book Sale, starting today, September 25 until the 28th, at the Fort Mason Festival Pavilion. Touted as "the biggest book sale on the west coast," this free event promises "50,000 more books than last year,"with each book priced at only $1-$5. There will also be "DVDs, CDs, books on tape, cassette tapes, vinyl, VHS, and other forms of media" for sale.

Added bonus??? "All proceeds from the Big Book Sale are given to the San Francisco Public Library to fund education programs that promote literacy for children, teens and adults. Last year, over $250,000 was raised for San Francisco’s libraries." So, by buying something for yourself to read, you'll be helping someone else learn to have the pleasure of reading. How nice.
