  • LitP on Superbowl Sunday? Yes!

    A number of you have asked whether we’ll have Lindy in the Park tomorrow, and the answer is yes (weather permitting, of course).

    Kick off for the big game is at 3:30, so plenty of time to get your own (Charleston) kicks in first!

    Go, ‘Niners!

    Hi Everyone,

    Sorry, but Lindy in the Park is canceled today (12/23/2012) due to rain.  It’s currently raining here in San Francisco (9:40 AM) and the forecasts predict rain throughout the day.  We hope to be back next week, weather permitting.
