The Good, The Bad and The Down Right Ugly
A Walking Tour of Downtown SF Architecture, Saturday, May 5
A three hour walking to tour of Downtown SF architecture with Rooftop’s very own architect dads Greg Mottola and Tom Sprinkle. Let Greg and Tom school you on the finer points of SF architecture. Together our dynamic duo has TK (Tom has almost 25) years experience in the business, designing high-end buildings and retail stores from the Bay Area, to Shanghai, to Istanbul. Best of all they have A LOT of opinions about the cityscape of our beloved San Francisco. This is not a historical tour, but a survey of buildings and structures they fine the most interesting–and the most awful. After they’ve exhausted all of their knowledge, the group will relax at the TK bar near Market Street for post-tour drinks and snacks. Time:10am – 2:00pm. Price $40/person – 8 tickets available

Blacksmithing Workshop by Jefferson Mack
You think that the craft of blacksmithing died around the time we traded horses for automobiles? Think again. Blacksmithing is alive and cool as ever.

Here’s a video of Rooftop dad Jefferson at work on Youtube. Date to be agreed upon by the winners. $ 90/person – 8 tickets available
