The weekend was wonderfully whimsical for us here at All Shook Down. On Saturday, reporter Ashley Harrell met a crowd of 50 outside Dalva's in the Mission and followed them on their pants-less trek through the streets, BART and MUNI. Much gawking ensued. Read Ashley's dispatch and see her fun photos here.
It's that time again. While we all hold our breaths waiting for some of that economic stimulus package to end up in our personal bank accounts (yeah right), it's all about being cheap...or, ahem, price conscious. We refuse to let you stay home this weekend to cry into your little brother's broken piggy bank. So, below, ten options for getting out of the house that'll set you back less than a ten-spot.1.

Anna CondaWe're back! Ten Things was on vacation for the last two weeks and we've returned, well, broke.

Slideluck Potshow (Friday)So there's this photographer named Casey Kelbaugh, and when he lived in Seattle, he used to throw these really cool get-togethers called Slideluck Potshows.

Surface of the Moon (Duo)A little bit of news about a little side project: San Francisco's Wooden Shjips announced the arrival of a new Velvet Underground-ish offshoot. Moon Duo keeps the three D's (drone, distortion, dissonance) going but adds a little more melody in the two excerpts offered on the band's MySpace page. The songs "Love on the Sea" and "E-Z Street Ext" are off the debut Moon Duo 12" from Sick Thirst. The Shjips sail over to Bottom of the Hill July 11 for a show with Oneida and Jo
Windsurf @ Amnesia on FridayNot all summer music fests require sizable chunks of your paycheck. This weekend, two budget music shindigs blanket San Francisco, championing alternatives to both mainstream music and mainstream admission prices. San Francisco's Doomed and Homo a Go Go are just two of 10 recommendations we have for running around the city without running down your bank account.San Francisco's Doomed (Fri-Sun)"'San Francisco's doomed,' O.G. proto-punks Crime sang, 'I need me some k
Who in this city doesn't love Donuts? We're talking, of course, about both the sugary fried dough confections and the name of the club night where those breakfast treats become party favors. DJ Pickpocket is one of the DJs/hostesses behind the popular dance collective that pulls all kinds of cool stuff into its orbit--everything from designers to underground disco and live music. Pickpocket has a ton of unusual events on her calendar coming up. You could hit a different Donut event practicall

Now Donuts celebrates three years of presenting obscure '60s to '80s DJ dance beats; innovative live music; and visual art and fashion with a lineup of the West Coast's shiniest live electronic
