It’s just about time to roll out the red carpet (and your popcorn-making machine). The 2009-2010 LUNAFEST Film Festival season kicks off in San Francisco next Thursday, October 1st. We’re coming up on our 9th annual year of award-winning films by, for and about women.

Inspiring stories, quirky animation and touching documentaries, the program even includes a film directed by Courteney Cox.

We’ll be running from Mt.…

The Clif Family Farm’s first Annual Harvest Party's coming up in September (September 19th; it’s closer than you think!). We’re inviting 100 of our friends to join owners Gary and Kit and our winemaker Sarah Gott for a night celebrating local food and the start of the Northern California harvest.

Wouldn’t be the same without them. And in the spirit of local foods, fresh produce from the…

Aliy and her crew lost contact with the interwebs while finishing up their journey from the Missouri River to the Mississippi. Read on for their story from the roads of Iowa. Days 3-7 of RAGBRAI, a bit delayed. Day 3: Everyday is a Spandex Party Day If you aren’t a fan of spandex, maybe RGBRAI isn’t for you. Lucky for us, we LOVE spandex and all the fun it brings out…or keeps in. Whether you’re in red, green, black, or yellow, on RAGBRAI, less is more and tube socks are NOT allowed. The all-day bicycle fest plus the Iowa heat…
