| Ask a Scientist Axis Cafe | Second Wednesday of every month, 7:00pm | Potrero Hill | |
 At this month's Ask a Scientist, it's Ancient Mayans vs. White Coats, as two scientists talk Native American science.

| "Black Gold" KoKo Cocktails | Every week Monday, 10:00pm | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 You may want your retro-soul weekend parties to be packed, sweaty blasts full of vintage grinders. But on Monday nights, the smooth, sugar-melting tones of ’60s soul music work as relaxing tonics to calm party-frazzled nerves — and that’s where Black Gold comes in. Hosted by... More >> |

| "Bobby Hutton Memorial Benefit Art Show" The Luggage Store | Daily from Sat., November 29 until Sat., December 6 | South of Market | |
 Rest assured that artist Emory Douglas’ images of protest are not based on experiences glimpsed from afar -- Douglas was the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party. His graphic art has the immediacy of a lobbed brick, from the boy selling Panther All Power to the People newspapers... More >> |

| "Carol Selter: The Personal Hiking Project" Gallery 16 | Daily from Fri., November 14 until Wed., December 31 | Potrero Hill | |
 As a society, we don't take enough walks. Carol Selter will take one for you.

| "Carrara" Jenkins Johnson Gallery | Daily from Thu., November 6 until Sat., December 6 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
 The Pantheon, Michaelangelo's David, and London's Marble Arch are made of Carrara marble; it's been a precious art medium for millenia and it all comes from a single town in midwestern Italy. At "Carrara," photographer William Wylie doesn't exactly show why. He hasn't taken glamour shots of... More >> |

| "Diem Chau" Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art | Daily from Thu., November 6 until Wed., December 24 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
 Imagine carving a woman — with folded hands, a tasteful dress, and full bangs — into a pink crayon. Imagine doing the same to the top half of a Number 2 pencil. Seattle artist Diem Chau regularly pulls off both feats, and she does so exquisitely; the works are delicate and fleeting,... More >> |

| "Flor de Manila y San Francisco" Market Street | Daily from Wed., October 1 until Fri., December 19 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 Jennifer K. Wofford's drawings adorn streetside kiosks up and down Market Street; they are taken from her new graphic novel.

| "Fluke" Baer Ridgway Exhibitions | Daily from Sat., November 22 until Sat., January 3 | Union Square/Financial District | |
 Artists who trade in found items often get lucky: An old photographic slide can decompose just so, producing a beautifully decayed image when printed. Berlin-based artist Wolfgang Ganter doesn’t leave it up to the elements. As a student working with recycled materials, he often came across... More >> |

| Gaucho, Mitch Marcus Session Amnesia |
Wed., September 3, 10:00pm more dates/times |
Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 All you need to know in order to be a responsible audience member at the Mitch Marcus Session Four-Year Anniversary Show is this: Clap for the solos you like. For complete jazz innocents, let's explain: A solo is when one instrument is prominent, and slightly louder than the others. What the... More >> |

| "Jump in Golden Gate Park" Golden Gate Park | First Saturday of every month, 1:00pm | Richmond (Outer) | |
 Jumping rope is great cardio, but the art of Double Dutch brings twice the workout with far more space for individual creative expression. Or so it would seem, because the city isn’t exactly hopping with opportunities for those past schoolyard age to learn or practice the wonder twin... More >> |

| Veronica Klaus Enrico's | Every week Tuesday, 7:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
 Maybe you already know North Beach was nationally famous in the 1940s and '50s as a place to see male and female "impersonators." Maybe you don't: Ask any grandfather-aged former serviceman who was stationed on the West Coast during that time, and he'll tell you alllll about Finocchio's. Either... More >> |

| "94117" Madrone Lounge | Every week Monday, 6:00pm-12:00am | Haight/Fillmore | |
 We're bigs fans of trivia nights at bars, and this is why: While trying to figure out what city the very last Pony Express ride ended in while sober is extraordinarily annoying, doing so while buzzed is fun. Hilarious, even. So while we have not (yet) attended the new bar event "The Game Show... More >> |

| "A Road Divided" Stephen Wirtz Gallery | Daily from Fri., October 24 until Sat., December 20 | North Beach/Chinatown | |
 Todd Hido's photographs are often taken from the outside looking in. His best-known subjects are suburban houses with lit windows at night, and in these shots he combines Rene Magritte's sense of twilight, Edward Hopper's stylish desolation, and David Lynch's blood relationship to American...

| "Vehicles of Emancipation" Varnish Fine Art | Daily from Thu., December 4 until Sat., January 10 | Union Square/Financial District | |
 The only thing more fun to fantasize about than the circus is pirates, so a show that promises art inspired by both is irresistible. The San Francisco artists known as the Oyster Pirate Collective take their name from the down-and-dirty 19th-century practice of pilfering from oyster farms, back... More >> |
