Over the weekend, everyone from the Warrior’s head coach, Steve Kerr, to Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, voiced concern about Donald Trump’s latest acts as POTUS. Stephen Curry scored an epic half-court 3-point shot to help the Warriors beat the Clippers 144-98. The Oakland A’s geared up for baseball season with their annual Fan Fest in Jack London Square, joking over Twitter that more people attended the event than the inauguration. Wondering what else went down? Here is what you may have missed.

The Bay Area cocktail community came together last night for Speed Rack, a female bartending competition that raises money for breast cancer charities. 25 of the region’s top lady mixologists took the stage at Grand Theater to make rounds of cocktails. Bloodhound and Churchill’s Helen Diaz took home the top prize and will go on to compete in the national finals in New York in May.

Lynch has been touring the world and recently went to Scotland as a brand ambassador for Skittles.
