Thursday, May 17th, 2012Eliminate Regifting: Patron Tequila Sponsors Live Art Creation Show on Market Street for the Artist Guild of San Francisco
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011Here’s the news of the day, from 581 Market Street (between 1st Street & 2nd Street):
“Patrón has partnered with emerging artists to create a unique holiday window in San Francisco to raise money for the Artist Guild of San Francisco.
From now through the end of the year, up-and-coming artists from San Francisco will occupy a formerly vacant storefront window that has been transformed into a space of creativity and imagination. Each artist has one week to create an original painting, sculpture or other work based on their personal interpretation of Patrón tequila’s “Simply Perfect” mantra.
People will have an opportunity to bid on the works created by these artists online at EliminateRegifting.com with all the proceeds benefiting AGSF. It’s also a contest for the artists, with the artist whose work receives the highest bid receiving national exposure in a print advertisement for Patrón in 2012.”
OK then, here’s what it looks like in the day:

But so is the Quickly. See?
Can we call this one a tie and then move on?
Let’s!
“Bubble tea, also known as foam tea, is a sweetly flavored tea beverage invented in Taiwan in the 1980s. Drink recipes may vary, but most bubble teas contain a tea base mixed with fruit (or fruit syrup) and/or milk. Ice blended versions of the drink are also available, usually in fruit flavors.
One of famous categories of bubble teas is “pearl milk tea” (also known as “boba milk tea” and “tapioca (ball) milk tea”) contains small chewy balls made of starch like tapioca (cassava), potato or sweet potato called “pearls”, “fenyuan” or “boba”. Pearls made of jelly are also available in many places. These teas are shaken to mix the ingredients, creating a foam on the top of some varieties, hence the name.
Bubble tea originated in Taiwan in the 1980s, first spread to nearby East Asian countries, migrated to Canada before spreading to Chinatowns throughout the United States, and then to various college towns along the West Coast.”
*So they might not actually be in West Bay Proper, which is anything west of 19th Avenue / Park Presidio…
