The Green Door


The search for a perfect event venue continued last week and I checked out a handful including hotels (boring but functionally work well) and rental spaces. One great space is Dogpatch over in Potrero Hill nestled in a mix residential/commercial area.


As with most old buildings in the city, Dogpatch comes with interesting stories/history. The venue is now used for photographers and filmmakers to shoot as well as launch parties and user conferences. That's a long way from it's origin - when the building first started being used as a commercial rental, it was for porn movies to film; one of the most notable being "Behind the Green Door." (I was going to hyperlink this, but I kept getting horribly embarrassing popups on my laptop - poor Matt is getting confused).


Random bits of history.
