Viracocha’s proper shop hours might indicate that they open at high-noon, but the truth of the matter is the the specialty store’s owners—a group of Mission District neighborhood friends—roll into the front doors and open for business when they damn well please. Their laissez faire approach might be inconvenient to some (perhaps those of a early-rising variety), but the abiding ethos at this curios-and-antiques shop by-day and romp-stomping night club by-night is distinctively San Francisco—where people appreciate fine things, odd events, and a lifestyle of pleasure and leisure.
