"For a weekly email blast of the best in San Francisco culture, sign up for our Fogcutter newsletter . San Francisco is on a hot streak. The past three weekends of concerts in Golden Gate Park pumped a reported $150 million into the city, and San Francisco has climbed out of last place in a ranking of office foot traffic. Plus, Treasure Island is getting a Meat Carnival in October."
"Literally, too, things are heating up. Fogust, the Peninsula's most reviled season, died an unmourned death on Thursday when the National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for a broad swath of the Bay Area. (San Francisco didn't receive the advisory, but residents are still swapping out jeans for shorts.) To track both the hot and the cool happenings in the Bay Area, SFGATE presents Fogcutter, our regular column of cultural events."
"Every week, our reporters put away their notebooks and pop into movie theaters, museums and music festivals. Our hope is to celebrate the scene-y, local cultural moments that don't always make the news. In this edition, we catch the Stern Grove Festival finale, and watch an indie star officiate 11 weddings at the Greek Theatre. Read on for more highlights."
San Francisco experienced an economic and cultural upswing as three weekends of Golden Gate Park concerts injected a reported $150 million into the city. Office foot traffic rankings improved as San Francisco climbed out of last place. Treasure Island will host a Meat Carnival in October. A Bay Area heat advisory signaled the end of Fogust, prompting residents to swap jeans for shorts even where advisories weren't issued. Fogcutter highlights local cultural events with reporters attending movie theaters, museums and music festivals. Recent highlights include the Stern Grove Festival finale, an indie star officiating 11 Greek Theatre weddings, and a subterranean magic show where a performer guessed audience cards and personal details, nailing one spectator's card (six of diamonds).
