Bold Italic | A celebration of microhoods, round 2

[Burlesque performer Bombshell Betty will entertain]

Gannett's experimental San Francisco entertainment site, The Bold Italic, appears to be gaining traction, based on the turnout for a recent special event. The site spotted what it dubbed, microhoods: "little pocket neighborhoods sprouting up throughout the city." More than 400 residents turned out to celebrate a small block in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood in March, the site says.

Now, in round 2, it's picked a stretch of occasionally infamous Folsom Street: "From leather to lattes and bike repair to beer, it’s become a destination for neighbors and city folk alike." Bold Italic is asking readers and residents to turn out a week from today, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., for free beer, late-night specials at new cafe emporium Sightglass Coffee, plus other entertainment.
