OSL Nightlife

For those who live in the city's core, or one of its numerous little valleys, it's sometimes easy to forget that a big, blue, beautiful ocean lies just over yonder, past the iconic windmill and bison in Golden Gate Park. This week, there are plenty of opportunities to reconnect, first among the fishes at Cal Academy of Science's Sharktoberfest and later at the Sandcastle contest at Ocean Beach. Meanwhile, the masses will be crowded along the bayside for the Fleet Week (also the reason why the Blue Angles are buzzing by your apartment all week). Set your eyes to the stars for International Observe the Moon Night and stick your ears in the clouds at SoundCloud Meetup Day. Creatures of the night will be in good company Japanther and Brazilian bombshell Lovefoxx with CSS.
