One glance at our calendar made one thing very clear, there's much too much happening this week to keep it all to ourselves. So put on your walking heels and get ready for some serious summer shopping:
Ramp It Up!, Wed. 6/9 from 5:30-8:30 p.m., $35: Browse locally-made apparel, food and home decor while getting a sneak peek inside Ritual's SOMA headquarters at the fundraiser/launch party for new non-profit, SFMade. Oh, and to make up for torturing you with the delicious smell of coffee for the last 3 hours, you get to take home a bag, gratis.
