| AC/DC Oracle Arena | Tue., December 2, 8:00pm | East Oakland | |
Reliability. Its underrated. Who even thinks about a car that starts every time? Until the one time it doesnt. AC/DC is like that. The band rocks. And thats all it does. The music isnt complicated. Its Phil Rudds simple drumming. Its Cliff... More >> |

| "Baghdad by the Bay December Showcase" Red Devil Lounge | Tue., December 2, 8:00pm | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
Pirate Cat Radio must be the most visible underground radio station in the country. Transmitting unlicensed from its bright, shiny corner cafe in the Mission, the studio is observable to all who pass by, and cheeky DJs entice their audiences to come down and join the live studio landscape. In... More >> |

| Bio-Debatable: Busting Through the Clutter of Conflicting Eco-Messages Commonwealth Club | Tue., December 2, 6:30pm | Union Square/Financial District | |
After eating a pizza, many of us go through an eco dance: Where do we put the fucking box? In San Francisco, use the green bin. Throw your half-full Chinese takeout in there as well. But your carton of soy milk? Poison like that belongs in the black bin, along with your potato-chip bag and your... More >> |

| 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 >> |

| Ibtisam Barakat Jewish Community Center of San Francisco | Tue., December 2, 6:30pm | Richmond (Inner) | |
We haven't heard this one before: "I consider the occupation a dehumanizing fact of Palestinian as well as Israeli lives." Tasting the Sky: a Palestinian Childhood is Ibtisam Barakat's novel, and she discusses it with Peter Waldman, Condé Naste Portfolio senior writer. In the book,... 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 >> |

| 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 moviestudded with outsized performances and drenched in cinematic brio. The concoction is over-rich, yet irresistible. The narrative... More >> |

| "Carol Selter: The Personal Hiking Project" Gallery 16 | Daily from Fri., November 14 until Wed., December 31 | Potrero Hill | |
As a society, we don't take enough walks. Carol Selter will take one for you. The artist asks people where they like to walk, takes their walk, arrives home refreshed, then packages that refreshment into a full-color book of photographs she snapped along the way, allowing faux-hikers to enjoy...

| 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 wouldnt 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 >> |
