Block Stays Hot – Fillmore x Haight benefit tee

October 12th, 2011

Block Stay Hot Image 550x507 Block Stays Hot   Fillmore x Haight benefit tee tee t shirt haight fire fillmore

As a lot of you know, there was a 4-alarm fire a couple weeks back in an apartment building on the corner of our block at Fillmore x Haight. It resulted in three businesses losing their space indefinitely, Fecal Face having to move their gallery, and 30 residents losing their apartments along with most of their belongings. The amazing thing has been the out pour of support from the neighborhood for the situation, something we’ve been proud to be part of by donating packs of clothes to each of the residents (just because you lose your stuff, shouldn’t mean you no longer get to look good, right?).

But a lot of people still want to help, so at our Fillmore location we have released this tee and all the proceeds will go to the Haight and Fillmore Fire Fund (it’s set up by the neighborhood association and all the fund are going to be divvied between the people who were effected by the fire, tee is available only at the SF Fillmore location). If you’re not in the area and still want to support, the tee is available through the Fire Fund’s website for anyone who donates $100 or above.



Footage of Haight / Fillmore going up in flames yesterday

September 28th, 2011

Jason and James from our Fillmore store put together some footage of the building next door to us going up in a 3-alarm fire yesterday. All of you that live in SF know that it doesn’t take much for a whole block to burn up in a matter of minutes in this area, so big-ups to SFFD for making sure the Fillmore/Haight block was still standing today.

Spend some Money this Christmas

We braved the shopping malls today (and by shopping malls we mean Fillmore Street in San Francisco, and by braved we ate organic food and tried on James Perse sweats) and did some Christmas shopping for our moms. And then we were feeling so proud of our thoughtful gifts we bought ourselves a little something as well.

Don’t let people fool you, Christmas is a time for spending money. You can fight it and feel stressed out making people gifts that actually aren’t really that thoughtful at all, or you can think about the people you like and buy them cool shit. Go forth and stimulate the economy. Feel good about creating holiday jobs. This IS what Christmas is all about. Before we settle in for the night and watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and drink a little Bedtime tea we wanted to give you some holiday gift giving tips.

1. We prefer things made in the USA. We get that it doesn’t always happen but we like it. The following keywords also get us every time: organic, local, cozy, one of a kinds, artisan, hand made, americana, american made, anything made in Portland or Maine, Brooklyn or San Francisco anything that can be worn at a nice dinner out or fishing.

2. The Resort Line: This is debated in our office but some of us believe that once christmas day comes along the last thing people want to receive are ski sweaters and pom pom hats. This is were a very narrow but exciting market comes in to play call the Winter Resort Line. Think of it like you are vacationing in the Canary Islands. Who doesn’t want a bikini and LeLabo Neroli perfume in their Christmas stocking?

3. Alcohol as a gift is over. Instead give olive oil, local honey, local weed, salted chocolate, or egg laying chickens.

Where to spend your Thanksgiving Dinner

We’ve found that hotel restaurants are usually a good place to spend festive meals. Pull up a chair with a forced family fun group on their way back to reform school drop off and make new friends. Why not try the Holiday Inn in Fountain Hills, AZ? They probably have a pool you can enjoy after your meal.

Black Angus Steakhouse in Dublin, CA

This cozy steakhouse provides a complete Thanksgiving meal with all the fixings for $16.99 for adults and $7.99  for kids. If you can’t get to Dublin don’t worry, Black Angus is also in Milpitas, Pleasant Hill and San Lorenzo, just to name a few locations.

Thai Stick on Fillmore Street

We’ve spent a lot of Holiday Dinner’s at this Fillmore Restaurant. It’s delicious but the bar area turns a little too wild for our taste after 8 pm.

Tommy’s Joint is open every day of the year except for Christmas.

And finally, a way to give back and get dinner at the same time. The Rest Home Thanksgiving Dinner. We like Atria Tinton Fall in Jersey or Bellmont Village in Hollywood. Have a bite, stay for a program or two and feel good about yourself for making your new nonnie’s day.

In Alex’s words:

Since we opened up the latest Zerofriends Pop-Up Retail store in San Francisco, I keep getting the same 2 questions:
1. Alex, you’re getting fat again, what bra size are you?
2. Why did you open a retail store?? Retail is dead!
Answer to #1: I know, and 38 B.
Answer to #2: SO I CAN WATCH HORROR MOVIES WITH AWESOME STRANGERS!!!
