Venetian Snares, Wisp, Nero’s Day at Disneyland, DJ Crackwhore, DJ Intoner DNA Lounge	Fri., November 6, 9:00pm	South of Market	Music Nightlife
Perhaps the last thing one would have expected from Canada's Aaron Funk — better known as Venetian Snares, one of the most chaotic, prolific, and rhythmically vicious breakcore producers of the past 10 years — would be to release an album of gorgeous gossamer beauty. And yet in 2005... More >>

California Dreaming Dance Sport Festival Hotel Whitcomb	Sat., November 7, 8:00pm	South of Market	Competitions Dance LGBT Events

Exene Cervenka Slim's	Sun., November 8, 8:00pm	South of Market	Music
Someone, please make a movie based on Exene Cervenka’s life.

the Drums 330 Ritch	Thu., November 12, 10:00pm	South of Market	Music
The idea of mournful lyrics buoyed by joyous music is an old one, going back in time to when Oog beat frantically on a rock while yelling about his pet mastodon running away.

Drinking and Dancing Competition The Lab	Fri., November 6, 8:00pm	South of Market	Dance Food & Drink Free Events Games
Championship dancing usually takes place in a ballroom sprinkled with glitter and applause. Championship drinking usually happens at 2 a.m. in a sweaty apartment on a godforsaken couch lit by the deadening glare of late-night infomercials. When you merge them, they become the Drinking and... More >>

To Be Straight with You Yerba Buena Center for the Arts	Daily from Thu., November 12 until Sat., November 14, 8:00pm	South of Market	Dance
The beauty of dancers floating across the stage, making exquisite patterns for the sake of exquisite patterns — snooze. Or so thinks DV8 Physical Theatre artistic director Lloyd Newson, who used to refer to dance as "the Prozac of the art forms." He pulled off a quote like that because the... More >>

“In What Era Will You Get Stuck?” Electric Works	Daily from Fri., November 13 until Sat., January 9	South of Market	Art Art - Galleries
Paul Madonna is known for drawings of the city and sometimes maddening text. His new venture concerns toys from his childhood and sometimes maddening text. What’s the connection … with the art? We don’t know. Both are irresistible, and that’s progression enough for us. The... More >>
