Just about the time my celebration of the United Nations International Year of the Potato 2008 kicked in to full throttle (you were aware it was the Year of the Potato, weren't you?), the fine folks at the American Institute of Architects San Francisco (AIASF) have announced that the 5th annual Architecture and the City festival will occur throughout the month of September.
And to top it all off (and to prove that architecture is way cooler than potatoes), San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom has decreed all of September to be Architecture and the City Month!
The line up for the month includes the home tours that I mentioned in an earlier column. But wait, there's more! Besides the home tours, there are boat tours, biking tours, walking tours, lunch parties, dinner parties, cocktail parties...let's just say if you participated in the entire month of architectural fun, you would be a veritable walking encyclopedia of San Francisco architecture.
Get to the website and get registered for these events. Tours fill up and in some cases, participants have to be limited. Besides, do you really want to elbow your way past the Mayor to get into the cocktail party?
