- SF Indie Film Fest >> To Another Dozen
Now that the Winter Music Fest is wrapping, the 12th Independent Film Fest opens Thursday at The Roxie, and not without its share of good-looking features (including Beyond the Pole and Wah Do Dem) and mark-the-calendar-worthy events (a roller disco party at Cellspace on Saturday and a filmmaker coffee date at Four Barrel next weekend, [...]
- SF Ballet Kicks Off 2010 Season
Tonight’s San Francisco Ballet opening night gala to honor Helgi Tommason’s 25 years as artistic director for the company was a contradiction for me. I wonder if I was alone in finding it simultaneously glamorous and unstreamlined with performances that were lovingly presented while being manipulative. This isn’t to say it wasn’t arresting–the intriguing costumes [...]
- “The Indie Spirit” with Issues, Objet D’Art, et al
I’m bummed that I’ll miss tonight’s “Indie Spirit” soiree at Moe’s Books (but I can’t think of a better reason than Blog Out Loud). Local independent creators including Liz Lisle of Watchword Press, Nicole Neditch of Objet D’Art, and Noella Teele of KUSF (and the West’s best magazine shop, ISSUES) will be discussing the evolution [...]
- Street Art SF: Mission Muralismo
Simone Nelson of Bay Area Women in Film & Media turned me onto the publication and party for “Street Art San Francisco: Mission Muralismo,” a visual retrospective of local outdoor art. Editor Annice Jacoby captures the work of Precita Eyes Muralists and includes essays from Shepard Fairey and Spain Rodriguez, the author of “Che: A [...]
- Kiva Turning Four
Microcredit organizations’ efforts, GOOD Magazine and the Berkeley co-working center HUB Bay Area are no strangers to TheSanFranista posts, so I’ll get right to the point–international (and now domestic) lender Kiva.org is celebrating their fourth anniversary on November 3. The $20 tickets for the party at the Brower Center will get you organic treats and [...]
- Make a Joyful Noise: Music National Service
I have a massive amount of respect for a new nonprofit, Music National Service, that currently has its first class of MusicanCorps fellows in public schools, hospitals and community spaces around the US. (And not just because I’m tone deaf–the work that the fellows are doing to introduce digital arts instruction and music therapy is [...]
- Like Cake for the Ears
I like seeing pals you believe to be absurdely creative show it to the world; in this case, I’m cracking up over burgeoinging SF band My First Earthquake’s Antoinette-esque video for “Sweet Frown.” In October you can see the foursome (possibly sans wigs, but it’s hard to say with this group) at Hemlock Tavern, the [...]
- Bone Marrow and Music
I’ll be en route to Austin today for my first Austin City Limits music fest, and I was glad to see that there’s a large international charitable component (beyond Bon Iver being there, of course). While musicians including Robin Wilson (Gin Blossoms, remember?) are hiking to raise funds for cancer research in East Africa as [...]
- Pop-Up Magazine, Vol. 2
Pop-Up Magazine, the local visual and auditory extravaganza, will feature its second live event on September 25. Radio, newspaper and online magazine contributors will present highlights of their work for this installment to be hosted by the women-run theater Brava on 24th.
I’m bummed to miss what should be another story re-telling-worthy evening, but it’s for [...]
- Pre-Weekend Rundown
Writing about fun things for an upcoming sunny weekend on a cold summer night in SF may be similar to planning Christmas in July, but few can fault you. I’ll keep it quick and dirty in thinking about to do’s this Sat/Sun, but there are some lovingly promoted events to plan for:
SaturdayWhile it’s better known [...]
