Mayor Newsom's 4th Annual Stadium to Stadium 10K tomorrow morning, at which I will eat my hat if Mayor Newsom appears.
I wouldn't call FuncheapSF and The Squid List "exhaustive" as they mostly ignore the west side of the city.
A good place with a fairly exhaustive list of events in Golden Gate Park and the Sunset is the Sunset District Events Calendar at sunsetdistrict.org
For the Richmond District, check out richmondsfblog.com
Thanks for the links. I have seen events in the Richmond and the Sunset on both those sites, so it's just a matter of whether the organizers submit them there or not. I also see a lot of East Bay events on both sites too, so it's all equal opportunity.
Nice list. 6 events? Don't you get paid to do this?
Hence the term "highlights."
There are plenty of sites that have general listings, a few of which are linked above and included here in the comments.
I do apologize. My monocle must have fallen out right before that part.
That being said, "Touché, touché, my friend. Touché. Touché."
