| "27th Annual Encuentro del Canto Popular" Brava Theater Center | Fri., December 5, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 With an impressive roster of local and internationally recognized musicians and performers, the Encuentro del Canto Popular began during a period marked by revolutionary uprisings and CIA-backed armies fighting in Central America. Almost three decades later, the U.S. is still at war with brown... More >> |

| "Club Six 10-Year Anniversary" Club Six | Fri., December 5, 9:00pm | South of Market | |
 In its 10 years, Club Six has given a platform to international artists as well as budding locals in a number of genres ranging from reggae and hip-hop to house and techno. It has helped to clean up Sixth Street, and even had its silver screen debut in 2005 as a set for the movie Rent. Owner... More >> |

| "First Annual International Body Music Festival" Project Artaud Theater | Fri., December 5, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Upon finding delight in the corporeal world, most infants express it by slapping, clapping, stomping, thumping, and vocalizing. This same combination has been cultivated and refined in every culture around the world. Yet, there has never been an international gathering of body musicians. This... More >> |

| Love Is Chemicals, Mist & Mast, We Is Shore Dedicated Hemlock Tavern | Fri., December 5, 9:30pm | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
 Love Is Chemicals makes us think of teenagers trapped in suburban bedrooms, lying on beds and wearing headphones and dreaming of getting the fuck out of there. Or dreaming of their desperate loves. Or dreaming of total world domination via shiny pants. A fanciful adolescent brain could find all... More >> |

| Meat Beat Manifesto, Dub Gabriel The Independent | Fri., December 5, 9:00pm | Haight/Fillmore | |
 British-born producer and longtime Bay Area resident Jack Dangers has had a productive musical year. He released a limited-edition CD, Music for Planetarium, for a science center in Hungary as well as the tenth studio album for his brainchild, Meat Beat Manifesto. The latter, Autoimmune,...

| Mike Relm, Peanut Butter Wolf, Party Ben Mezzanine | Fri., December 5, 9:00pm | South of Market | |
 Bay Area natives Mike Relm and Peanut Butter Wolf (the latter lives in L.A., but he grew up here so we can still claim him) have taken their DJing into new dimensions over the last several years by mixing videos with vinyl. Relm tends to weave together swathes of film and television samples,... More >> |

| Aries Spears Cobb's Comedy Club |
Fri., December 5, 8:00pm more dates/times |
North Beach/Chinatown | |
 Here’s how you save network sketch comedy: You kill it. We’re halfway there. MadTV, after 13 years of surprising viewers by remaining on the air, is down to its last episodes. Perhaps it will reinvent itself on some cable channel and never be heard from again, like the Whitest Kids... More >> |

| Von Iva, Run Run Run, The Bruises Café Du Nord | Fri., December 5, 9:30pm | Castro/Noe Valley | |
 If you’re Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails, you can throw a new record up on the Web without major label support and fans will come running (or, as it were, clicking). But for indie artists who aren’t even household names in their own hometowns, freedom from corporate contracts can be a... More >> |

| "Vehicles of Emancipation" Varnish Fine Art | Daily from Thu., December 4 until Sat., January 10 | Union Square/Financial District | |
 The only thing more fun to fantasize about than the circus is pirates, so a show that promises art inspired by both is irresistible. The San Francisco artists known as the Oyster Pirate Collective take their name from the down-and-dirty 19th-century practice of pilfering from oyster farms, back... More >> |

| "transPOP: Korea Vietnam Remix" Yerba Buena Center for the Arts | Daily from Fri., December 5 until Sun., March 22 | South of Market | |
 Either Viet Le and Yong Soon Min have a rich tapestry of obscenely talented friends, or they really curated the shit out of "transPOP: Korea Vietnam Remix." As we ticked through the list of oft-exhibited and exhaustively educated artists in the show, we didn’t see a stinker in the bunch.... More >> |

| A Christmas Tale Bridge Theatre | Daily | Richmond (Inner) | |
 A Christmas Tale feels like all 12 days of seasonal merriment, and then some. This comic, ultimately touching family melodrama is a heady plum pudding of a movie—studded with outsized performances and drenched in cinematic brio. The concoction is over-rich, yet irresistible. The narrative... More >> |

| The Culture Bus Howard and New Montgomery | Daily | South of Market | |
 We all love to bag on Muni. It's late, it's dirty, somebody peed. But the bus system appears to have done something very right this time. The Culture Bus, the 74X line, roves the city from museum to landmark to tea garden, every day. Pay the fare, ride all day, and you're set. No parking, no... More >> |

| Slumdog Millionaire Embarcadero Center Cinema | Daily | Embarcadero | |
 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Well, who wouldn’t in this economy, even if the currency in question is rupees and winning the loot means being pegged as a fraud, getting a firsthand education in “enhanced” interrogation methods? Such is the fate that greets Jamal, the 18-year-old... More >> |

| "Ecdisis" Galeria de la Raza | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Wed., November 26 until Sat., January 10 | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Somehow it's an art-school cliché that political art is bad. We're often grateful to those who ignore such horseshit; at the moment, that artist is Bay Arean Ana Teresa Fernández, aka the girl with a rocket, since she's blowing up so fast. At "Ecdisis," she shows sculptural work,... More >> |

| The Golden Girls Christmas Episodes Mama Calizo's Voice Factory |
Every week Thursday from Thu., December 4 until Thu., December 18, 9:00pm more dates/times |
South of Market | |
 Picture local drag performer Matthew Martin, one hand outstretched towards a man in a disheveled Santa suit. Martin (as Rue McClanahan) calls out to fellow thespian Pollo Del Mar (as Betty White), who's busy showing Santa the door: "Rose! I had to stand in line for an hour to sit on his lap!"... More >> |

| "The Impact Curve" Marx & Zavattero | Daily from Thu., November 6 until Wed., December 24 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
 If 2001: A Space Odyssey had a mod color scheme and had been animated by M.C. Escher ... wait, no. If Wall-E's matte painters took psychedelic mushrooms while in a very bitter mood ... no, no. The truth about William Swanson's work at "The Impact Curve" is that it is its own self, like all good... More >> |

| Eden Lumiere Theatre | Daily from Fri., December 5 until Thu., December 11 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 Eden, a portrait of an imploding marriage, is remarkable for every reason that counts in a good film: Its emotions are passionate and immediate, yet from the first frame we are trusted to understand, free of manipulation, exactly what this husband and wife of 10 years are suffering and...

| Lake City Opera Plaza Cinema | Daily | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 Troy Garity has a rangy, lonesome-stranger body and pouchy eyes. He can boot a cigarette butt to the curb like a champ and fill a frame with the handsome, so-what lure of damaged goods; in a better world, and a better movie, he’d have the ladies sighing, the gentlemen nodding, and all... More >> |

| "The Beatles in India: Creativity and Inner Peace" San Francisco Art Exchange | Daily from Sat., November 22 until Sat., December 20 | Union Square/Financial District | |
 Paul Salzman's photos of the Beatles in Hrishikesh, India in 1968 are reeeeeally interesting. At first glance, they're the snapshots of a nosy fan: Paul McCartney's practically picking his nose, everyone's squinting like regular people do in sunlight, and John Lennon looks directly at the...

| Star Wars: Live on Stage! Dark Room Theater | Every week Friday, Saturday from Fri., December 5 until Sat., December 27, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Unlike holders of certain deep-space franchises, Lucasfilm is quite encouraging of all fan-generated apocrypha set in a galaxy far, far away. Inspired, perhaps, by the 1977 short film Hardware Wars, in which a cassette player roams through space, Lucasfilm even sponsors the Official Star Wars... More >> |
