Streetsblog San Francisco

Just a reminder: Tonight is Streetsblog happy hour, now a monthly occurrence at Virgil's Sea Room.

Due to popular demand, Streetsblog happy hour has become a monthly institution. The sustainable transportation hootenanny happens at Virgil's Sea Room the third Thursday of every month at 6 p.m.

After last year's smashing success, Streetsblog happy hour returns to Virgil's Sea Room bar on Thursday evening. Virgil's has again generously offered to donate 10 percent of bar proceeds from 6 to 9 p.m. to Streetsblog SF, so be sure to stop by and raise a glass.

Streetsblog San Francisco is seeking an intern who wants to get involved in online media covering the local livable streets movement. The intern will perform tasks like posting daily headlines, updating the events calendar, maintaining the appearance of the site, and potentially writing content for the blog.

Streetsblog founding editor Aaron Naparstek will be in SF to serve as the keynote speaker at the SF Bicycle Coalition's Golden Wheel Awards on Tuesday evening. We thought it'd be a good opportunity to look back on how Streetsblog San Francisco came to be, and get Naparstek's take on what's changed in the city since we launched at the start of 2009.

Streetsblog's spring pledge drive ends on Sunday, and we’re two-thirds of the way to our goal of 400 donors. Every contribution makes a difference — please give what you can and support our coverage.

I think we can declare last night's Streetsblog happy hour to be a huge success. It was awesome to get to meet so many of you. Several dozen of you came out for some great chats, and the show of support was heartwarming.

Join me, fellow readers and advocates for a Streetsblog happy hour tonight at Virgil’s Sea Room. Virgil's has generously offered to donate 10 percent of bar proceeds from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. to Streetsblog. (You can also follow their lead and make your own generous donation, of course!)
