When Light in the Attic label head Matt Sullivan picked up the crate-digging David Holmesmixed compilation Come Get It, I Got It in 2002, he had no idea he was embarking on a six-year journey to resurrect a folk-psych masterpiece. The remixes of underground gems included Sixto Diaz... More >> |

| Language of the Birds Columbus & Broadway | Sun., November 23, 4:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
We were just over in North Beach (to see Beach Blanket Babylon, which embarrassed us in front of a bunch of tourists more on that later) and we didn't see any space at Columbus and Broadway that looked like a "new public plaza." The intersection seemed as crowded as usual, complete with... More >> |

| Run and Walk for the Hungry 5K and Mile Conservatory of Flowers | Sun., November 23, 8:30am | Sunset (Outer) | |
It sounds so upstanding: San Francisco's Run and Walk for the Hungry 5K and Mile benefits the San Francisco Food Bank. 'Tis the season to help people out even more than usual, it's true. So, nominally, the event is "for a good cause." But maybe you know some runners personally? If so, you have... More >> |

| A Christmas Tale Bridge Theatre | Daily from Fri., November 21 until Thu., December 25 | Richmond (Inner) | |
A Christmas Tale feels like all 12 days of seasonal merriment, and then some. This comic, ultimately touching family melodrama is a heady plum pudding of a moviestudded with outsized performances and drenched in cinematic brio. The concoction is over-rich, yet irresistible. The narrative... More >> |

| "Assembly Instructions" Jack Hanley Gallery | Daily from Wed., November 19 until Sat., November 29 | South of Market | |
Like Amanda Eicher's art constellation of names which enlivens the ceiling at Adobe Bookshop, "Assembly Instructions" is a flow chart of an exhibition, and very pretty. Artist Alexandre Singh's show was a "mid-month pick" by artbusiness.com's Alan Bamberger, but it's only up for another few... More >> |

| The 1000 Journals Project San Francisco Museum of Modern Art | Daily from Thu., November 20 until Sun., April 5 | South of Market | |
A few years ago, Someguy (he's an artist) sent out 1,000 blank journals into the world with a humble request: Hey, you holding the blank journal, fill it up! People did. Some people did.
