| Jolie Holland, Herman Dune Bimbo's 365 Club | Wed., October 15, 8:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
Say you wandered into the Rite Spot at 17th and Mission streets sometime in 1999. Theres a crowd of dot-com cubicle monkeys unwinding at the bar, and a few couples lit by candlelight at a handful of tables. In front of the beat-up piano in the corner is a pretty gal strumming an old... More >> |

| Richie Unterberger's Rare Rock 'n' Roll Film Clips Park Branch Library | Wed., October 15, 7:00pm | Haight/Fillmore | |
Once upon a time, folk and folk-rock were played on mainstream radio. Try to imagine Live 105 playing Joni Mitchell. Yeah right! That could never happen now, because it would be very threatening to someone's penis. But back in the 1960s and '70s, obviously, radio station executives had larger... More >> |

| Seinfeld Campus Tour USF Campus McLaren Complex | Wed., October 15 | Haight/Fillmore | |

| Wire The Fillmore | Wed., October 15, 8:00pm | Japantown/Pacific Heights | |
In a decade saturated with bloated rock songs, its easy to appreciate the concise methods of Wire in 1976, when the bands tense, polished angularity helped define the postpunk approach. Wire has since veered in and out of hiatus, dropping stripped-down, experimental-electronic bombs... More >> |

| Refugee Camp in the Heart of San Francisco Marina Green | Daily from Wed., October 15 until Sun., October 19 | Marina/Cow Hollow | |
It doesnt' sound fun, exactly. It isn't meant to be entertaining. But still, the Refugee Camp in the Heart of San Francisco seems kind of ... cool?
