| “Rob Nilsson’s 9@Night” Roxie Theater | Daily from Fri., August 29 until Thu., September 4 | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Raise a tall glass as another bombastic Hollywood summer comes to an end, not with a bang but with a bomb: After four months of crassness and carnage, the movie listings at last herald the return of substance and sanity. Leading the charge is veteran East Bay filmmaker Rob Nilsson, a one-man... More >> |

| Slow Food Nation Multiple San Francisco locations | Daily from Fri., August 29 until Mon., September 1 | Union Square/Financial District | |
 We all know about fast food, but what about its opposite? Slow Food began where so many delicious things do: Italy. The movement got its start in the 1980s, when Carlo Petrini opposed a McDonald’s slated to open near the Spanish Steps in. Philosophically averse to the tyranny of... More >> |

| “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 >> |

| Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Thee Oh Sees, Second Cousins Great American Music Hall | Sat., August 30, 9:00pm | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
 God knows what toxins they put in the water supply of Denver, Colo., but there’s no denying the city’s status as the capital of weird gothic Americana. Case in point: Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, a 15-year veteran of the genre that sets tales of damnation (and demon liquor) to... More >> |

| I Served the King of England Embarcadero Center Cinema | Daily from Fri., August 29 until Thu., September 4 | Embarcadero | |
 Septuagenarian Czech filmmaker Jirí Menzel's latest boasts the same darkly sarcastic and lyrically absurdist trademarks that fellow Czech New Wavers Milos Forman and Vera Chytilová were known for in the '60s. But I Served the King of England is hardly past its prime, and perhaps... More >> |

| "Women Impressionists: Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Marie Bracquemond" Legion of Honor | Daily from Sat., June 21 until Sun., September 21 | Richmond (Outer) | |
 When we were 19, we wanted to be Berthe Morisot. After having accepted that we had little (although not no) talent for visual art, we learned that Morisot was a very famous and beloved enabler. In our neutered art books at school, she was merely "kind" and "wealthy," leaving food and paint... 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 >> |

| 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 >> |

| Riot on Sunset Strip Film Festival Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Thu., August 28 until Sun., August 31 | Haight/Fillmore | |
 For some, the Sixties were all about the politics. For others, they were all about the sex. For Hollywood historian Dominic Priore, the decade was about the music, and the throbbing center of the scene, at least for a short time, was the Sunset Strip. From 1965-66, this mile-and-a-half section... More >> |

| 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. Part of its increasing popularity is that standing upright allows surfers to spot waves more easily and... More >> |

 There are eight million stories in the naked city, as the saying goes, but only 765,000 people live in Fog City.
