Raised in an artistic family, Christophe Come began making jewelry and bronze sculpture under the prestigious tutelage of French sculptor Louise Derbre. The young artist’s interest in the ornamental, however, quickly gave way to a fascination with the fundamental. He was particularly...

Have you ever seen a Gritchen in your kitchen? Or dared to dance with the One-Legged Zantz? We can’t think of a better time to start than during the final days before Christmas. Long out of print, Don’t Bump the Glump was Shel Silverstein’s first and strangest collection of...

Bottom line: Playland at the Beach is where the ice-cream-and-cookie concoction known as the It's-It came from. People love their memories of the amusement park -- San Francisco's answer to Coney Island (1926-1972) -- and that's cool, but let's be serious: the It's-It. For those of you trying...

He got his start producing icily aggressive gangsta rap beats for Harlem's Dipset crew, but AraabMuzik — the stage moniker of Rhode Island native Abraham Orellana — is pioneering a new flavor of moody electronica. As numerous online videos prove, Orellana is a virtuoso of the MPC, a...

Sometimes, we need a little bit more than just poetry and music. Sometimes we have the urge to witness a wild-eyed man with one sweater sleeve missing shove pieces of paper into a coconut and then set it on fire - all while someone yells about why bird porn is a serious issue. The 16th &...

Harvey's :
Every week Tuesday, 9:00pm
|
Comedy shows in bars can be an odd mix, especially when a birthday or bachelorette party means lots of stiff drinks and dildos strapped to the heads of the women tearing it up in their final hours before marriage. These giggling “dickheads” can be a comedian’s worst nightmare, as...

They're squat, fat, and prone to a myriad of health issues. They resemble miniature Ewoks and can be heard blocks away by their heavy snorting and grunting. Of course the people of San Francisco want to dedicate one day each month to this creature, the pug. Pug owners, enthusiasts, and friends...

In the beginning it was, of course, Ohlone Indian. Then it was Spanish-Ohlone. Were there Russians? It was Italian. Then it was Irish and German. As far as we can tell, the Mission District was never Chinese, but this is San Francisco, so why shouldn't it have been? It was Mexican, and then it...

Did you know that when the Golden Gate Bridge gets hot, it sits low in the saddle? Course you didn’t: You don’t have a Bridge Thermometer, which looks like one of those scenic coin-op binoculars crossed with a first-person shooter. Peer into it (no coin needed!) and it shows the...

We went to Rome once. One thing that blew our minds was the public art. There’s so much of it that some has been reclaimed by the needs of everyday life. You see people taking lunch on what’s left of an ancient fountain or a big sculpture that anywhere else would be surrounded by...

To our recurring surprise, many locals never get the idea to visit Alcatraz, because traveling by boat to an island to walk around cellblocks is just something they don't like do. How come? Because tourists get that idea, every day, by the shorts-wearing boatloads. Here's your solution: The...

America once had a national war. It happened about 150 years ago. It was over slavery and state sovereignty and also about land. It lasted about four years, and the nation still can’t shake it. Now consider Israel. Since its beginning in 1947 it has existed in a perpetual state of armed...

The term "gaucho" commonly refers to nomadic South American cowboys, which is pretty indicative of how the San Francisco band Gaucho plays its version of Gypsy jazz: in Gaucho's hands, le jazz manouche is left playfully unchained to the genre's European historical foundations, allowing the...

John Baldessari helped kick the conceptual art movement into high gear in the 1960s, when he started incorporating photography and text into his paintings. Later he became fond of setting himself a task (“Throw three balls in the air to get a straight line”) and documenting the...

You can blame Al Gore for the dearth of quality punk rock in the jukeboxes of America. Not because of his li'l censor-happy P.M.R.C. wife (who's done plenty of damage, no doubt), but because Al had to go and invent the internet. What a bum! Even dives with great jukes are phasing out their...

If you've spent any significant time in the punk underground, no doubt you've been forced to draw your own personal "Emo Line," i.e., the line your Superior Musical Taste™ won't allow you to cross when the music gets too pop, too pouty, or too un-punk to admit liking in public. This...
