Leave it to a bunch of Brazilians to bring a party vibe to the ongoing 80s music redux. A multicolored gob toward the legions of dour Cure copyists, CSS has been offering up its contagious electropop to the global dancefloor since forming in São Paulo five years ago. Filled with... More >> |

Heres how you save network sketch comedy: You kill it. Were halfway there. MadTV, after 13 years of surprising viewers by remaining on the air, is down to its last episodes. Perhaps it will reinvent itself on some cable channel and never be heard from again, like the Whitest Kids... More >> |

| "Tutu Tuesday" Vessel | Second Tuesday of every month, 9:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
Big secret about tutus: If you're wearing one, you can't rest your hands at your sides not if you're wearing a real, starched, horizontal ballerina tutu. Wear any kind of tutu you want at Tutu Tuesday, floppy or erect. If you don't own a tutu, or if you forgot yours at home, make or buy... More >> |

| "Carrara" Jenkins Johnson Gallery | Daily from Thu., November 6 until Sat., December 6 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
The Pantheon, Michaelangelo's David, and London's Marble Arch are made of Carrara marble; it's been a precious art medium for millenia and it all comes from a single town in midwestern Italy. At "Carrara," photographer William Wylie doesn't exactly show why. He hasn't taken glamour shots of... More >> |

| "Diem Chau" Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art | Daily from Thu., November 6 until Wed., December 24 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
Imagine carving a woman with folded hands, a tasteful dress, and full bangs into a pink crayon. Imagine doing the same to the top half of a Number 2 pencil. Seattle artist Diem Chau regularly pulls off both feats, and she does so exquisitely; the works are delicate and fleeting,... More >> |

| "The Impact Curve" Marx & Zavattero | Daily from Thu., November 6 until Wed., December 24 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
If 2001: A Space Odyssey had a mod color scheme and had been animated by M.C. Escher ... wait, no. If Wall-E's matte painters took psychedelic mushrooms while in a very bitter mood ... no, no. The truth about William Swanson's work at "The Impact Curve" is that it is its own self, like all good... More >> |

Maybe you already know North Beach was nationally famous in the 1940s and '50s as a place to see male and female "impersonators." Maybe you don't: Ask any grandfather-aged former serviceman who was stationed on the West Coast during that time, and he'll tell you alllll about Finocchio's. Either... More >> |

| "A Road Divided" Stephen Wirtz Gallery | Daily from Fri., October 24 until Sat., December 20 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
Todd Hido's photographs are often taken from the outside looking in. His best-known subjects are suburban houses with lit windows at night, and in these shots he combines Rene Magritte's sense of twilight, Edward Hopper's stylish desolation, and David Lynch's blood relationship to American...

| Stand-Up Paddleboarding Lessons Boardsports | Daily | North Beach/Chinatown | |
When the ancient Polynesians invented surfing, they often used a paddle to help them navigate. Fast-forward a few millennia, and Stand-Up Paddleboarding, or SUP, finds itself trendy again.
