The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is my favorite art venue in San Francisco – more often than not its exhibitions provide excellent brain food. It is a prime place to see artists that have their works shown at world-class exhibitions like the Venice Biennale. Currently, the center is holding its own major recurring [...]

Here are the people who will love Mortified: People who have re-read their journals (or, in my case, terrible poems) from junior high and thought, “How is that me?” People who involuntarily cringe in the middle of telling stories about their teen years. People who laugh out loud at photos of themselves from prom, football games, dance recitals, [...]

For what is essentially little more than a fun, tossed-off sidestep of several more high-profile projects, Monday night’s performance at The Independent nevertheless proved Mister Heavenly to be a unique and welcome addition to its members’ collective resume. Comprised of Ryan Kattner (aka Honus Honus of Man Man), Nick Thorburn (Islands, The Unicorns) and Joe [...]

The eventseekr team had some awesome interns that regularly contributed to the blog this summer, but we also had awesome interns all throughout the office working in the other departments. We asked those who didn’t get a chance to contribute to write reviews of recent albums that struck their fancy. First was indie-rock group A [...]

Last Thursday, I saw I Wayan Wija perform his Tantri shadow puppet play at the Asian Art Museum‘s Matcha event, and I’ve been thinking about a way to adequately describe it ever since. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen puppetry in general (does Sesame Street count?), but it was the first time that I’d [...]

Hipster triangles, anyone? Robin Carolan’s Tri Angle must be shiniest one around, with the #1 spot on the Billboard list of “Best Indie Labels” and a recent “Record of the Month” from London’s legendary Rough Trade record store (for Balam Acab‘s Wander / Wonder). On August 19, Tri Angle celebrated its first birthday at 103 [...]

Last week, we published album reviews by a couple of our summer interns. Janelle Gleason reviewed indie-rock group A Lull‘s Confetti, and Sharon Kim reviewed Cloud Control’s Bliss Release. After the jump is Lauren Espina’s review of Trap Gold‘s The Chooser EP. I hate to make generalizations, but the music scene in the Los Angeles [...]

This year’s big summer exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art zooms in on the collections of the writer Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) and her brothers Leo and Michael. Having spent a large chunk of their lives in France, the American-born siblings are counted among the earliest supporters of Parisian avant-garde art. At the [...]

As the biggest comedy festival in San Francisco, SF Sketchfest is an exciting time for Bay Area comedy-lovers. For about two weeks, the country’s best comedians descend upon the city and present stand-up, sketch, improv and alternative comedy. Unfortunately, due to an overly hectic summer schedule, I was only able to catch one performance at The Purple [...]

The 3rd Annual SF Street Food Festival is this weekend. If you haven’t already read up on Lucia’s Plan of Attack, I highly suggest you do. My friends and I were able to make it out to the inaugural SF Street Food Festival in 2009 and definitely used the divide and conquer technique, as outlined [...]
