Drip Module Pets

THREE DOG FRIENDLY ADVENTURES
by charlotte miller

At Drip Module our pets truly are man’s best friend. We treat our sidekicks right taking them on our every adventure. Here are three dog friendly excursions man and dog will love! Tag your pet adventures #dripmodulepets!


1. Paddle Boarding in Sausalito

For the more adventurous dog, try paddle boarding at Sea Trek Kayak and Stand Up Paddling Center in Sausalito. Although it may take a bit to coax your dog on the board, once they are on, they will never want to get off!

2. Good eats at Off The Grid in the Presidio

For the more food focused pooch, have a Sunday picnic in the presidio at Off The Grid! Food trucks, music, and lots of grass for your pet to run around, Off The Grid is the perfect lazy sunday activity. Make sure to try a korean fried chicken and waffle sandwich from Bok Ssam followed by a scoop of the secret breakfast ice cream from Humphry Slocombe!

3.   Jog on the Beach at Fort Funston

For the water dog, take a jog on the beach of Fort Funston. Fort Funston is located in the 200 foot high sandy bluffs of the south end of Ocean beach and offers lots of space for your dog to run around. Never crowded, Fort Funston gives you and your sidekick time for some fun in the sun.

Proximities 1: What Time Is It There?
On view through July 21, 2013

In this exhibition, contemporary artists were asked to respond to the question: what is Asia? This three-part exhibition enables artists with varying degrees of understanding of Asian art and culture to create a dialog around individual notions about Asia. Proximities 1: What Time Is It There? focuses on the theme of landscape, imagined and real. The first installment of the exhibition will be on view through July 21, 2013.
