Savion Glover Palace of Fine Arts	Sat., November 7, 7:00pm more dates/times	Marina/ Cow Hollow	Dance
Dancers aren’t known for their smarts. Don’t shoot the messenger, it’s just a reality. Besides, who needs to be all brainy when you know how to move? The thing is, when a dancer is intelligent, society runs the risk of hosting a superbeing — we can only hope that Savion... More >>

California Dreaming Dance Sport Festival Hotel Whitcomb	Sat., November 7, 8:00pm	South of Market	Competitions Dance LGBT Events
Ballroom dancing is gay. California Dreaming Dance Sport Festival is here to make it even better, even gayer, as the biggest same-sex ballroom dancing competition in San Francisco history. It's hard to describe how good, how right, how correct it is to see two immaculate pairs of tuxedo tails... More >>

John Hodgman Herbst Theatre	Sat., November 7, 8:00pm	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Comedy Talks
If John Hodgman were an entry in one of his own Ben Franklinesque reference books, it might read like this: “An accumulation of Talents from space-time molded into one softly rounded Handsome Genius (see fig. 1), currently in possession of the Perfect Career. Roles for Moving Pictures... More >>

Luxury Items ODC Dance Commons	Daily from Sat., November 7 until Sun., November 8, 8:00pm	Mission/ Bernal Heights	Dance LGBT Events Theater
Next to living a life of luxury, there’s nothing quite like taking in a show that skewers and celebrates all the opulent superfluities that our world holds dear. Luxury Items is courtesy of Monique Jenkinson, the local performance artist and dancer who spent an important period of... More >>

"Fog Rising" Broadway Studios	Sat., November 7, 2:00pm	North Beach/ Chinatown	Music
Oakland metal juggernaut Saviours put in so much dogged road work since the release of 2008's Into Abbadon — logging time on both sides of the Atlantic with the likes of Skeletonwitch, the Sword, Clutch, and Saint Vitus — it's a small wonder the band found time to track its latest... More >>

Alternative Tentacles 30th Anniversary Incest-A-Thon Great American Music Hall	Sat., November 7, 8:00pm	Nob Hill/ Russian Hill	Music
For three decades, Alternative Tentacles has been middle-fingering the thieves, hypocrites, warmongers, and lapdogs in government, religion, the media, mainstream music, and corporate America. The indie label is still run by original Dead Kennedys visionary Jello Biafra, who now fronts the... More >>

Chali 2na, Gift of Gab, Mr. Lif, Lyrics Born The Independent	Sat., November 7, 9:00pm	Haight/ Fillmore	Music
It's been five years since Oakland rapper Gift of Gab made his solo debut with 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, but the wait for a follow-up has made the time feel much longer. Not that the man born Timothy Parker has been slouching. He has continued thriving as half of Blackalicious,... More >>

Devo, Reggie Watts The Regency Ballroom	Sat., November 7, 9:00pm	Nob Hill/ Russian Hill	Music
Vinyl is an unusually stunted medium. It hasn't grown much beyond Brian Wilson's quaint ambition nearly 45 years ago to record an entire LP — the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds — without clunkers. In 2009, with CD sales plummeting and death-of-the-album talk reaching new levels of hysteria,... More >>
