"For a weekly email blast of the best in San Francisco culture, sign up for our Fogcutter newsletter . It's been a busy week in the Bay Area. On Thursday, the East Bay was hit with a small quake on the same day as California's annual earthquake drill. In Solano County, bakers made a 7-foot Labubu out of bread, and in San Francisco, neighbors are complaining about "screaming" Waymos on their dead-end street. Dreamforce packed SoMa with thousands of lanyarded visitors,"
"It's not just the seismic activity. If you put your ear to the ground, you can hear the Bay Area humming with life. To track the region's (cultural) vibrations, we started Fogcutter, SFGATE's weekly column of events and encounters. Every Sunday, our reporters fire off dispatches from concerts, coffee shops and cabarets. Our hope is to capture the texture of the region's cultural life."
"You don't have to look hard to find old heads proclaiming that "real punk" vanished after the Dead Kennedys broke up or that Bay Area rap peaked with the hyphy movement. White Crate, an outfit dedicated to curating and promoting local music, highlights the fact that the Bay Area music scene is still thriving, contrary to what you might've heard."
San Francisco and the wider Bay Area experienced a busy week of cultural and civic moments, including a small East Bay earthquake coinciding with California's earthquake drill, bakers in Solano County crafting a 7-foot Labubu from bread, and neighborhood complaints about 'screaming' Waymo vehicles on a dead-end street. Dreamforce drew thousands to SoMa, among them notable visitors. Fogcutter serves as a weekly column capturing regional cultural vibrations with Sunday dispatches from concerts, coffee shops and cabarets. The edition marks anniversaries for a 60-year bait-and-tackle shop and a five-year concert promoter, and spotlights a century-old Bay Area mansion. Local music collective White Crate celebrated its fifth anniversary with a packed dream show.
