| “When Holy Were the Haunted Forest Boughs” Triple Base Gallery | Daily from Fri., August 29 until Sun., September 28 | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Phantasms of all persuasions drift into the artwork of Christine Shields. The San Francisco painter is a collector of lonely ghosts: witchy little girls, glowing fire goddesses, owl-bodied crybabies. Even her portraits of real people have a strange otherworldly quality, as if the old saying... More >> |

| Joe Nick Patoski Booksmith | Tue., September 2, 7:30pm | Haight/Fillmore | |
 Texas hippie icon Willie Nelson has everything we wish we had: He wrote "Crazy"; Muhammad Ali visits his tour bus; he recorded "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other" after Brokeback Mountain came out; and as everyone knows, he sings like an intoxicated demigod. That last one... More >> |

| 10th Annual Power to the Peaceful Festival Golden Gate Park, Speedway Meadow | Sat., September 6, 9:00am | Richmond (Outer) | |
 True, the thought of a day-long “yoga jam” gives me chills — I mean, the very phrase “yoga jam” sounds like something you’d need a prescription cream to treat — but a free, all-ages music fest in Golden Gate Park is hard to oppose on any grounds. If... More >> |

| Family Day Golden Gate Park's East Picnic Area | Sat., September 6, 10:00am | Richmond (Outer) | |
 The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is here to let everyone know that life on two wheels really can be better. Sure, city cyclophobes are swelling their ranks faster than you can say "Mission hipster," but think of all the benefits of owning a bike: You don't have to worry about parking spaces... More >> |

| Grind for the Green Yerba Buena Gardens | Sun., September 7, 12:00pm | South of Market | |
 On the Grind for the Green MySpace page, a song called "Women's Movement" goes: "This is my url, ain't never been a typo/Big like a rhino, ain't never gettin’ lipo/Twenty-eight days I complete a cycle/My head on straight but I'm still a little psycho!" The song (by Queen Deelah — who... More >> |

| “A Delicious Obsession: The Work of M.F.K. Fisher” Book Club of California | Mon., September 8, 5:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
| John Updike called her “the poet of the appetites.” W.H. Auden said, “I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose.” And yet Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher, who published more than 20 books from 1937 on, remained largely on the periphery of American... More >> | |||
| "Mini Market" Silverman Gallery | Daily from Fri., August 22 until Sat., August 30 | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
 Last year, artist Takashi Murakami erected a Louis Vuitton shop in the middle of Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art. It caused something of an uproar. Art critic Lee Rosenbaum said that the shop “co-opts museums as shameless corporate marketing tools.” The New Yorker’s... More >> |

| Sunday Streets San Francisco Multiple San Francisco locations |
Sun., August 31, 9:00am more dates/times |
Union Square/Financial District | |
 We city folks like to think we’re fitter than our dilatory suburban counterparts, but we rarely get the chance to take a bit of cardio without having to wait for a traffic light. In places like Hong Kong and Colombia, al fresco exercise seekers have organized in whatever space they can eke... More >> |

| "Patricia Stroud, Michael Ashcraft, Judy Krasnick" SF Museum of Modern Art Artists Gallery | Daily from Wed., September 3 until Fri., September 26 | Marina/Cow Hollow | |
 Patrica Stroud has been a Bay Area artist since the 1970s, and values natural forms in her abstract sculptures. Her use of natural materials like wax and sand, on top of all that, makes us think of Stroud as sort of a visual-arts version of Judy Collins: a classic and an enduring "type" whose... More >> |

| "Tomando Medida (Taking Measure)" Andrea Schwartz Gallery | Daily from Wed., September 3 until Fri., October 3 | Potrero Hill | |
 "My newest paintings are heavily influenced by early Hispano and Native American textiles. I have spent much time thinking about the work of my two great-grandfathers who were both weavers. I think often about their choice of colors and arrangements. I am interested in the mathematical as well... More >> |

| "Experimental Studio" Frey Norris Gallery | Daily from Thu., September 4 until Sun., September 28 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 Chinese-born artist Shen Shaomin is something of a contemporary shaman. Instead of regurgitating a bunch of art school sleights of hand or investing in gallery world pother, the self-taught Shaomin creates massive installations that act as portals into transcendent realms. His new exhibition,... More >> |

| Pericles Presidio Parade Grounds | Every week Saturday, Sunday from Sat., August 30 until Sun., September 21, 7:30pm | The Presidio | |
 Pericles is not one of the oft-produced plays in the Shakespeare canon. It has a dingy reputation compared to some of his other works, and scholars argue that parts of it weren’t even written by the Bard. Whoever did write Pericles took a kitchen-sink approach to the plot: there’s... More >> |
|||
| “When Doilies Go Bad” Soap Gallery | Daily from Fri., September 5 until Sat., September 27 | South of Market | |
 Doilies are synonymous with fussiness. Gaining popularity during the Victorian era, the frothy decorations protected armchairs from icky, greasy men and kept crockery from violating tabletops. Crocheting doilies was considered a genteel hobby reserved for the wealthy. Upper-crust single ladies... More >> |
