Lots of weekend parties, buzz for some local hotspots, and an orphaned chinchilla? It’s gotta be leftovers.
Let’s get into it.
*************
Tonight, Vinyl (359 Divis) hosts “Fuzztastique,” a new semi-monthly dance party event. From 7pm to midnight, dance along to soul, garage and psychedelic funk music. Plus, $2 craft draft beer, and all wine $7 a glass, all night long.
*************
Also tonight, D-Structure presents the opening of “On the Wall“, a collection of poster works and canvas art from Whatpaste Art Collective. Peruse the latest creations from more than a dozen artists while sipping on adult beverages and listening to DJ-spun tunes. That’s 8pm to 11:30pm at D-Structure, 520 Haight.

Then, head to Nickies for First Fridays with DJs Dion Decibels and The Whooligan. 10pm to 2am, no cover.
*************
On Sunday, don’t forget it’s the Second Sundays block party on the 400 block of Haight Street. There’ll be art, local vendors, ice cream, and more. Noon to 4pm.
*************
And definitely don’t forget that all weekend long, the N and J Muni lines will be shut down. Church Street between Duboce and Market will be a pretty messy scene. If you’re driving, try to avoid it.
*************
This week, the Chronicle released its list of the Bay Area’s Top 100 Bars. Locals making the list include Churchill, Nopa, Toronado, and Uva Enoteca.
*************
Also this week, Eater updated its compilation of the 38 Essential San Francisco Restaurants. Congrats to the Lower Haight’s own Maven for making the cut.
*************
Finally, did you lose a chinchilla? Apparently one of the little South American critters has made itself at home in a Page Street backyard between Pierce and Steiner. Check the lowerhaight.org Google Group for details.

That’s all we’ve got. Surely we missed something though. tips [at] haighteration {{dot}} com.
