EXHIBITION: Ancient Chinese secret, huh? Well, figure out what said secret is at the opening ceremony of the "Chinese Puzzles Exhibition," an exhibition of brain benders (e.g., tangrams, etc.) that will coincide with the Beijing Olympic Games. (Obligatory political aside: Free Tibet! Save Darfur!) The show, it seems, will "give visitors a unique opportunity to learn about these traditional 'intelligence games' and challenge their hands and mind by playing with them." Also, drinks and other assorted refreshments will be served.

el Rio isn't in the Outer Mission, it's in the outer part of the just the regular Mission. Don't be afraid to cross 24th Street, but do refrain from skinny jeans with flat butts. Thanks!
