- Alternative Film Showcase Opens at Roxie
After sadly missing The Disposable Film Festival’s first bike-in movie screening, the promise of a full three days of programming seems like a perfect way to kick off the weekend before South by Southwest Film. The festival, which premieres annually in SF before heading to Brussels, Beijing and other host cities and is art directed [...]
- Ignite Bay Area >> Watch it Live
If you’re not among the technologists, writers, engineers, designers, bicycle mechanics, urban astronomers, and violin instructors to take part in the Bay Area celebration of Global Ignite Week on Tuesday night, you can join via Livestream, follow the presentations via @IgniteBayArea and access them later on the newly launched IgniteShow.com. This week, 15 local talks [...]
- Gyllenhaal Promoting Independent Docs on PBS
As though I needed another reason to wonk out on documentaries, Maggie Gyllenhaal assuming hosting duties on the PBS series Independent Lens is enough to make the months between Sundance and South By Southwest likable. Twenty-seven independent films being broadcast this season include dramas, comic shorts, and experimental pieces shot in locations as diverse as [...]
- Pre-V Day Edition
I’ll keep the pink links to a minimum, but there are quite a few Valentine’s Week events in SF that deserve consideration. We can get the worst named out of the way first–that being “Singles & Sprinkles” at food community space 18 Reasons on Thursday. The Little Lane art studio will be helping with cookie [...]
- Speak During Global Ignite Week >> Bay Area Edition
The second Ignite Bay Area program on March 2 at Automattic will be a co-ed event to celebrate Global Ignite Week, and partner Carmel Hagen and I are sharing a final call for technical, artistic and otherwise entertaining presentation ideas. Do join (and be quick with your creativity–the program will be announced next week once [...]
- LA Has the Goods
When I moved to the Bay Area I was fascinated by the news that Berkeley had a tool lending library. So people could steal the city’s hammers and hurt their neighbors with public property? (It’s worth noting that I grew up close to Detroit.) But the model has its fans–so much so that it’s entered [...]
- Off the Mat Benefit
Chalk it up to spending the past week in yogi Rusty Wells’ Bhakti Flow teacher training, but I’m most excited about the Off the Mat, Into the World benefit that Yoga Tree Castro is hosting this Saturday night. I first heard about the organization that looks to mobilize yoga devotees to act at the Wanderlust [...]
- Supermarkets, Public Interest & Other Events of Note
There are two local events on December 5 that I regrettably won’t be able to attend but would encourage you to (and would love to hear how they go): Supermarket Street Sweep: Friends who have participated in past citizen cyclist scavenger hunts (“alleycats”) have had a blast riding around SF with strangers, especially when it’s [...]
- Thread + Art in Storefronts
I apologize for being a bit delayed on the culture coverage this week; planning for the Women Innovators event in early December is ramping up and we’re excited about the interest in the first @IgniteBayArea to date. That said, November events of note this week include: Art in Storefronts: The final edition of temporary art [...]
- “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 [...]
