DETAILS

THURSDAY - Flag Alley  Little Boxes Theater 6-9:30

The hour before Flag Alley this year will be devoted to an exciting new flagging lesson from the talented and amazing George Jagatic - details to come!  Immediately after George's lesson, we will turn off the overhead lights, bring up the blacklights, and our live DJ will start spinning for over 3 hours of flagging!

Wear whatever will get you in the spirit of the evening - leather, burner outfits, tie-dye, or flagger-wear are encouraged.
There is a $5+ suggested donation.

We are able to keep the suggested donation low this year due to generous donations from William Barros, Dave Eckert, Jack Gerard and Craig Arnold, anonymous flaggers, as well as an extremely generous donation from Larry Krobath. On behalf of everyone, thank you, thank you for your support of the community!! You are simply amazing!

The location is the Little Boxes Theater (https://littleboxestheater.com/). It is at 1661 Tennessee (Suite 2s) in San Francisco – near 3rd St. and Cesar Chavez.

ACCESS: Look up "Little Boxes Theater" on the outside keypad and ring to be let in. Take the elevator or stairs to the second floor. Follow the hallway to the end, where there is an option to go left or right. Go right almost to the end to Suite 2s on the right. There will be signs to direct you on each step of the way.
PARKING: There is ample on-street parking. Parking across the street is an option. The spots are for the businesses, and are marked "No Parking", but no one has ever had a problem. Use at your own risk . Do not block any of the loading docks or doors.
TRANSIT: From the Powell Muni/Bart station, take the 15 Express Muni to 3rd and Marin. Little Boxes Theater is two short blocks away.
