Super Bowl: What To Do If You Don't Watch The Game

With much of the East Bay distracted, it's a great opportunity for activities that normally would be overcrowded on a Sunday.

If you don't care whether the San Francisco 49ers or Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl on Sunday, the East Bay offers plenty to do that afternoon that has nothing to do with football.

If you're planning a non-sports outing or know of such events, let us and your fellow Patch readers know about them in the comments section.

Here are few suggestions:

  • Get to know the neighbors! There's a neighborhood meet & greet at 600 Susana St., Martinez, with neighborhood police Officer Rodney Brisner at 2 p.m.
  • Meet and greet the artist b JAXON showing his Jazz Collection Series at the Agave Restaurant and Grill, Concord, at 5 p.m.
  • Register for Sugi Yoga training (the training starts Saturday, March 2) at the Windbell Wellness Center, Pleasant Hill.
  • 'Old Wicked Songs' is a play about a piano prodigy showing at 2:30 p.m. at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek.
  • The Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day. One of their ongoing exhibits now is Science on a Sphere, which features an animated globe where you can watch hurricanes form and tsunamis roar.
  • If ghosts are more your thing, there is a paranormal conference being held all day Saturday and Sunday. The highlight of the Grey Ghost Paracon is an investigation of the supposedly haunted U.S.S. Hornet docked in Alameda.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

Do City Council members still get free parking passes as perk?

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More
