While the first signs of All Star Game fever arrive at Moscone tonight for MLB’s Fan Fest. Apparently more than 100,000 tickets were sold to the baseball themed event, and hopefully they all don’t arrive at once. I hear there will be free Pepsi even for anyone thirsty and corn syrup deprived walking around near 4th & Howard Street. (photo from MLB.com)

What? Not a sugar saturated sports nut? Then try something completely different, like Oakland’s First Friday Art Walk which is tonight…

Already a pretty cool event, with multiple galleries hosting exhibitions on the first Friday night each month, they’ve now added a shuttle service so you can cover more ground…
