Things are looking a lot greener lately in San Francisco, and it's not because of the beautiful spring foliage, the abundance of medicinal, or the looming 4/20 holiday. The San Francisco Green Festival returns this weekend with lots of eco-friendly ideas on how to reduce your environmental footprint, accompanied by music, organic libations, and veggie cuisine. Also, there's nothing more green than shunning cars for the day and taking back the streets with Sunday Streets, but first, do a little spring cleaning and make room in your closet. The Sassy City Chicks Supercharged Spring Fashion Bash and the Junior League 2011 Fashion Show offer plenty of shopping opportunities this week. And you can put your new threads - and your body - to work at Miss Blow Up USA, Tormenta Tropical, and the Cockblock 5 Year Anniversary Party.

Question of the Week: Complete the following quote from our interview with Ken B Jordan from The Crystal Method and send your answer to [email protected] for a chance to win VIP tix to the SF Green Festival: "We get there, get a couple drinks, and ________.".
