We love our neighborhood! From the wonderful Hayes Valley retail shops and art galleries to the endless block parties to the Top Chef dominating restaurants... oh, Hayes Valley, could we adore you more? This week the staff is celebrating the latest temporary art installation at Hayes Green, Tony Labat's "Big Peace IV" (we also really loved this one and this one, hope you saw them while they were around!)

In honor of the upcoming new series launch of pure psychotronic phantasmagoria Mysterius: The Unfathomable... the Isotope's first event of 2009. And look at Parker glow... glow, baby, glow!
Our mad cocktail slinging scientist has secluded herself in her haunted lab for several moons concocting some of the most unusual alchemical elixirs and tastebud hypnotizing potions ever invented. The natives are growing restless and local villagers have been whispering about things quite unnatural. Quite Mysterious and unfathomable!
Join us for an event that will truly never to be repeated anywhere ever again. This is going to be a good one!Labels: events, Jeff Parker
