| Blitzen Trapper, The Parson Red Heads, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band The Independent | Tue., December 2, 8:00pm | Haight/Fillmore | |
Lets set the record straight. Despite a long list of rock writers claiming the contrary, Blitzen Trapper is not an Americana band. Sure, the band tinkers with roots rock: a little Creedence twang here, some Crazy Horse crunch there. But beyond the pedal-steelled ballad Stolen... More >> |

| "94117" Madrone Lounge | Every week Monday, 6:00pm-12:00am | Haight/Fillmore | |
We're bigs fans of trivia nights at bars, and this is why: While trying to figure out what city the very last Pony Express ride ended in while sober is extraordinarily annoying, doing so while buzzed is fun. Hilarious, even. So while we have not (yet) attended the new bar event "The Game Show... More >> |

| Battle in Seattle Red Vic Movie House |
Daily from Tue., December 2 until Wed., December 3, 7:15pm more dates/times |
Haight/Fillmore | |
Stuart Townsend may have been overly ambitious in making Battle in Seattle. He may have muddled his messages, trod on the feelings of others, and gotten his history wrong in places. His romance may be boring, his characters predictable. Maybe he never fully explained, or even understood, what... More >> |

| Dream of Life Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Thu., December 4 until Sat., December 6 | Haight/Fillmore | |
If Patti Smith's narration to Dream of Life was simplified into a stanza, it might go something like this: As long as I can remember I sought to be free/Bob Dylan once tuned this guitar for me/My mission is to give people my energy/Fred, Jesse, and Jackson are my family tree/New generations,...

| The Exiles Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Sat., December 6 until Sun., December 7 | Haight/Fillmore | |
For the length of Kent MacKenzie's rediscovered 1961 feature, the past is not distant: It's vital, concrete, immediate—a record of vanished sites and vanquished dreams suspended in an eternally looped present. An account of 14 dusk-to-dawn hours in a community of relocated Native... More >> |

| Choke Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Tue., December 9 until Wed., December 10 | Haight/Fillmore | |
There's a whole lotta fucking going on in Choke, Clark Gregg's adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's first-person novel about a sex addict named Victor Mancini with severe Mommy issues—fucking in a cramped airplane bathroom, on a
barnyard's itchy haystack, in a grimy toilet stall, in a... More >> |

| "Sucker-Punch" Underground SF | Every week Monday, 10:00pm | Haight/Fillmore | |
There is a world in which Mondays mean putting your best foot forward — waking up with a brisk jog around Twin Peaks, correctly buttoning your crispy-collared Brooks Brothers shirts down to the last hole. However, precious few of us inhabit this planet of stable weekday starts. For those... More >> |
