*Obo Martin, Sonya Cotton, & Shake Your Peace. 7pm. secret caves by the sea, under the Cliff House. (follow Geary to the Ocean until you're swimming) FREE. bring firewood. dress warm. rain, fog, or starshine, moonshine, or darkness.
from gabe: If you're like me, then one of the main reasons you put up with the stress of city life is to be around when crazy concerts like this one come bobbing into the harbor, pirate pennant waving, folk-filled middle finger extended, freedom as far as the eye can see... A san francisco show that reminds you why you wanted to leave Utah (or your hometown equivalent) and be an urban bohemian adventurer in the first place!
It's all happening in the caves beneath the Cliff House, where the mythical Obo Martin (the greatest folk songwriter around - on a tour of the NW - and former resident of the caves - seriously), SHAKE YOUR PEACE!, and perhaps the Sonya Cotton Band, will play by campfire light, the pleasant glow of chaos, and the sound of starfish fractalizing.
12-17 wednesday
*Conspiracy of Beards, Sand Witches, & Three Leafs at Cafe Du Nord, 8 PM. $10.
12-19 friday
*scrap-soup: multi-media dance performance with evolving installation, live painting, 3D video, and an electronic and acoustic soundscape. It features dancers Erika Tsimbrovsky (director/choreographer), Kira Kirsch, Suzanne Lappas, Andrew Ward, and Daniel Bear Davis, in collaboration with visual artist Vadim Puyandaev, video artist Ruslan Belorusets, and musicians Sean Feit and Albert Mathias. Scrap-Soup investigates how technology has changed what is important to us in conveying information, generating a live audio-visual-kinetic text on stage. (from kira)

*trainwreck riders @ the music store in west portal. free!
*Antonio's birthday show w/ People People, Apache Thunderbolt, and special guests (Thrips? Extra Action Marching Band). 9pm-late, with People People performing on the latter end of that (midnight?). It takes place at 110 Capp St @ 16th, 5th floor. ArtSF is a community arts organization that is losing its space due to a large rent increase (in an economic downturn???).
Besides Antonio's birthday, this show will be a celebration of ART SF and a fundraiser for its continuation in another space. As such, the party-throwers will be asking a donation of $3 to $10, but no one will be turned down for lack of funds. (from antonio, obviously)
