ISS Kick-Off and Fundraiser: Friday June 27th, 6-10pm

Public Man — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 01:56:44 +0000

The Inner Sunset Sundays team is pleased to announce our Kick-Off and Fundraiser event on Friday June 27th. This event will give attendees a deeper insight into what ideas are going into this year’s four events. What makes a good gathering space, what are the philosophies behind the events? As well as a presentation on these questions and asking you for donations and commitment to volunteering and participation, we’ll also have potluck food, games, live music, and good old socializing. Come join us!

Benches #2-12: Lots of new public seating!

Public Man — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:04:50 +0000

Welcome back to the Public Bench Project blog. As you may have noticed, a healthy number of benches have been popping up around the Inner Sunset recently. Although we haven’t slacked on that front, we certainly have been slacking on posting updates on this blog. So today, we’ll have a posting run and get most of them recorded below. Some benches don’t have photos of them yet.

Bench #2: Outside residential house at 6th & Lincoln

Haven’t seen much action on this one yet…

Bench #3: Cloud bench outside Surreal You Hair Design, 538 Irving st @ 7th

Pictured here in the workshop. This bench gets a bit of use.

Bench #4: Hearts bench, 6th & Irving

This one gets good use. No photo yet – watch this space.

Bench #5: Outside Paresh Martial Arts, 447 Irving st @ 6th

This bench is used when parents wait to pick up their children from martial arts practice. Not much use otherwise. Photo – watch this space.

Bench #6: Midas Touch, Irving between 6th and 7th

See the golden strip down the middle. This is located along the white “Yes We Can” fence on Irving between 6th and 7th Avenues.

Bench #7: Above Garden for the Environment, Locksley @ Lawton St

This is located behind and above GFE’s plot. Photo waiting…

Bench #8: Outside residential building, 6th between Irving and Hugo

This one has ginko leaf touches and will be updated with a more comprehensive design. Photo waiting…

Bench #9: Le Video, 1231 9th Avenue

Photo waiting. It looks like this one outside Le Video rental store is getting a good amount of use.

Bench #10: Urban Bazaar, 1371 9th Avenue @ judah

Photo waiting. Urban Bazaar is a fair trade and locally handmade gift store. This bench has slightly shorter legs on one side to accommodate for the slight slope.

Bench #11: Dance With Life Chiropractic, 1475 9th Avenue @ kirkham

This bench is further up the hill than most, meaning a good rest for weary legs.

Bench #12: Everybody Bikes, 1352 Irving St

This is much more westerly than the rest of the benches. More in this area please!

…And that’s about it for now. If you want your own bench, contact us. It’s easy and you’ll love what a bench does for you, your neighbors and friends.
