HAYES VALLEY—On Saturday, June 7, Basic Training SF is launching its highly-anticipated outdoor activity space at Proxy with an all-day party co-sponsored by Fitbit. The group raised 40K+ through crowd-funding back in October, and now they're ready to kick everything off with a bang. The day starts with free Basic Training classes every hour, on the hour, from 8am until 12pm. After that, it's time for refueling with food, music and and open bar (holla) from 12 until 4pm (21+ and Eventbrite RSVP required). They're giving away 250 Basic Training tees courtesy of Alternative Apparel and Ape Do Good Printing, plus there will be gifts from Aether Apparel, Basic Training, and more. [Racked Inbox]

COW HOLLOW—There's a new style blogger in town, and she's hosting a launch party on Thursday, June 5 at My Roommate's Closet at 3044 Fillmore Street from 6 to 7:30pm. Caroline Curran's new site, Perfect 10 SF, catalogues all things "perfect," and for the party, that translates to a perfect 10% discount at the boutique and treats from American Cupcake.
