Congratulations team North Beach for your valiant victory in the world’s first Bus Stop Derby. Well played. Your 363,650 points and over 150,000 game plays got you first place, with the Tenderloin in close second with 329,625 points. We don’t know how many buses you missed, but the sacrifice was worth it: in addition to citywide bragging rights you get to host the rock block party with OK Go!

The entire city is invited to rock out on the rooftop at the SF Art Institute, from the toughest competition (Mission and Tenderloin—so close!) to the slightly less tough (Noe Valley, thanks for playing). The block party is on February 5, doors open at 3:30pm with a variety of street food, games, and other surprise! But remember to come early to make sure you get one of the 800 wristbands to enter.

P.S. Take the bus. Parking at the block party is very limited so hop on the Muni (nearby lines: 45 Union/Stockton, 30 Stockton, and 41 Union) or ride your bike.

North Beach and Tenderloin still neck and neck!

It’s not over yet. With over 100,000 games played, over 2,500,000 points scored, with less than a week to go, North Beach and Tenderloin are still battling it out over the championship of the world’s first Bus Stop Derby. And Mission, close behind in third, can still pull a last minute wonder by Friday.

Whoever wins is anyone’s guess. We have some really cool venues picked out for the top five neighborhoods, and OK Go is ready to rock. So get out there and play to bring the best block party in the city to you. Rally your friends, get your neighbors playing, and get OK Go to play for you.

We can’t wait to see some of the epic battles of this final week.
See you at the winners’ block party—where that party is, is up to you!
