ArtSpan’s SF Open Studios 2011
Starting this Saturday, every weekend in October you’ll have the chance to visit 800 SF artist studios from the Mission to the Marina — all for free.
Literary Arts: John Lithgow, Augusten Burroughs & More
This week the Literary Arts scene jumps from one big memoir to a city read-out and on to another big memoir (with an even bigger star).
Galleries: Ferris Plock, Mask-Making & More
This weekend’s gallery rounds start with new shows at Satellite 66 and the Shooting Gallery, and finish with a craftastic workshop at the Exploratorium.
Theater: SORYA!, Night School & Stripped Stories
This week dinner is served with dance at YBCA, a new play takes the stage at NOHspace, and the gloves (and everything else!) come off at Punchline.
“Fast Forward” Opening Reception
Into spray can art? This evening at the 1am Gallery you can catch an awesome group show that aims to capture the evolution of this style of visual art.
Brad Pitt is Money in Moneyball
Moneyball isn’t so much about baseball as it is about the underdog. It’s about thinking outside the box and pushing the boundaries for the ultimate goal: winning. Whether or not Billy Beane’s overhaul of the Oakland A’s ball club is ultimately a success depends on how you view success, but that doesn’t mean this film won’t try its hardest to prove it.
Chicken John’s Book Release and Street Party
Did you miss Burning Man this year? Don’t be discouraged, there are still remnants of the playa floating around the city. Get ready to get knocked over the head with lots and lots of zany awesomeness brought to you by Chicken John Rinaldi.
Bicycle Film Fest
The annual Bicycle Film Festival rolls through town tomorrow with a kickoff party at The Knockout and continues through Sunday with music, art and (of course) film events celebrating that two-wheeled miracle that gets us to work faster than you can say N-Judah.
Literary Arts: Annual Big Book Sale, Banned Books & Jane Lynch
This week, the literary scene zig-zags from Fort Mason, down to the SF Library and then all the way up to San Rafael. Trust us, it’s worth the trip.
Madonna Flash Mob Dance Class
Admit it. If you hear the right Madonna song, all your cool goes out of the window and the dancing shoes come out of the closet. This week you have two chances to take all that enthusiasm and latent star power out of the house and learn some Madonna choreography with other folks.
Galleries: The Brothers, the Dump & Tetris
This week, hungry walls will be filled with photos of charming Norwegian brothers, reworked artwork from the SF dump, and a giant, interactive game of Tetris.
