activspace.jpgIt’s the eve of SF Open Studios (see great guides to this weekend’s artsy fun from the Weekly, SFist, and a Very Special Gay Guide from those fun new kids, Homoholic), but you can start your artwalking a little early, tonight, at ActivSpace, the building in which we work.

Ha! You thought we worked at home surrounded by cats! This is also true, at times. But more often than not, we are clacking on the TV with the typewriter from a real live office. Our building is also home to a bunch of artists and artisans, many of whom will be opening their studios tonight for you to walk into, look thoughtful, and walk back out.

According to the postcard they put under our door, in addition to the whole art thing, tonight’s festivities include: “Meet the people of ActivSpace,” “Music and Live Entertainment” (including, apparently, belly dancing), “Drinks and Hors d’oeuvres” (classy!), and “A raffle to win prizes!” (prizes not specified)

Seriously, this place is bustling today, and somebody downstairs hung Christmas lights, so this is gonna be a RAGER. And we’re totally going to be here, doing our best to consume at least a month’s worth of rent in food and drinks, more than likely hanging out in or around our office (#405). Stop by and say hello! We will give you stickers. And, perhaps, a pin!

What: ActivSpace building anniversary party with studio visits, free food and booze, and a chance to mock how janky our office is
When: Tonight (Friday Oct 9) from 7-10:30
Where: 3150 18th Street at Treat. Our office is #405
Cost: Free as hell
