[VA] Martyna Szczesna: Skarbczyk Curated by Brianna Toth, with a zine by Karl Dotter at the Tartine Bakery, SF
(in San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 9pm / 21:10 .
DATE(S): March, Thursday 18 and Friday 19, 2010 .
DESCRIPTION:
“Centering her collages around images of landscapes, Polish-born artist Martyna Szczesna draws on the aesthetic clichés of scenic calendars and postcards in order to mine their manufactured sense of nostalgia and longing. Fascinated by the simultaneous power and disposability of the photographic image, Szczesna uses the collage process to dismantle that which she finds beautiful, thereby turning one into hundreds of precious objects.
In conjunction with the show, a zine of Szczesna's smaller collage pieces will be available. Cartoonist Karl Dotter worked with the artist to to design a handmade typeface containing 26 glyph shapes inspired by the show. As a function of the zine, the font will be available for reuse under a creative commons license.

DESCRIPTION:
The Switchboard Music Festival is an 8-hour music festival bringing together composers and musicians who are all pushing the boundaries of their respective genres - and, whether they're aware of it or not, are pushing towards each other. No other Bay Area music festival or concert series is dedicated to the idea of bringing together such an eclectic, genre-crossing/-breaking/-bastardizing group of experimentalists, innovators, and musical omnivores. This is a concert designed for an audience grown accustomed to the boundary-less world of the internet and the iPod, where all music is equal and must meet only one criterion: It must sound good.

[M] KZSU 90.1FM presents: The Big Love Show at KZSU 90.1FM
[ LISTEN ONLINE, LIVE! ]
(in Stanford, Santa Clara County, San Francisco Bay Area, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 3pm / 15:00 to 6pm / 18:00 .
DATE(S): MONDAYS .
DESCRIPTION:
The Big Love Show hosted by Jack and Princess D ... Slammin' Beats mixed by live in-studio DJs from the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond!
In 1992 I met KZSU's DJ Unknown, and we teamed up to invite some of the top acid-house / deep-house DJs from San Francisco and San Jose to come down to KZSU to play. Our crew organized the first 24-hour on-air marathon of continuous house music mixed by some of the best in the business: Jenö, Markie, Garth, Tony, Rick Preston, Josh, Spun, Harry Who?, and more. A few of these epic marathons under our belts, the show Acid 88 moved on, and so did I. In 1997 I re-joined KZSU and started the Big Love Show in its current form. I discovered a whole generation of house DJs who were also inspired by the dance-music scene of the early '90s. And the "old schoolers" were still around. Since then, the Big Love Show has been bumpin' it every Monday afternoon. Long Live House Music!

[MM] Curry Without Worry at The Square, Market Street and Hyde Street
(in San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 5:45pm / 17:45 to 7pm / 19:00 .
DATE(S): TUESDAYS.
DESCRIPTION:
Curry Without Worry was founded in 2006 to provide healthy, soul pleasing Nepalese food to hungry people in San Francisco, CA.
Curry Without Worry serves a warm meal (free of charge) accompanied by a dignified and rich Nepalese cultural experience to hundreds of people in San Francisco’s Civic Center every Tuesday.
Meals are accompanied by drumming, signing, learning, and leisure.
Namaste, originally from Sanskrit, loosely means to pay homage to the inner light in all living things. This represents the purpose of Curry Without Worry: feeding hungry people; doing so in a dignified manner; and encouraging peaceful coexistence.
Today, Curry Without Worry is self-funded. Each meal costs $2.00, and is generally made up of 5 courses. We are able to accept donations, every $2.00 donated equals one meal served!
Food is prepared at The Taste of The Himmalays, and served every Tuesday from 5:45 -7 p.m. at Hyde and Market at the Civic Center.
While we desire to feed those people most in need of a hot meal, it is also our philosophy that hunger is not defined by an empty stomach. For this reason, Curry Without Worry is open to whomever hungers to join us. We hope that you soon join us as well. Namaste!

[M] Cheb I Sabbah, Spins 1002 Nights at Bollyhood Cafe
(in San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 10pm / 22:00 to 2am / 02:00 .
DATE(S): THURSDAYS .
DESCRIPTION:
Cheb-i-Sabbah (also known as dj Cheb i Sabbah), a Jew of Berber (Amazigh) descent in Constantine, Algeria.
Cheb-i-Sabbah moved to Paris in the 1960s, and, more or less by accident, became a DJ. His complex cultural background may have prompted him to mix musical styles. By the late 1980s, he was pushing boundaries on the dance floor, seeking ways to work African, Asian, and Arabic music into the mix; using instruments such as the doumbek, sarangi, harmonium, oud, violin, and mrindangam. Then, as the world music movement unfolded, Cheb-i-Sabbah began recording traditional and classical musicians himself and used those tracks to create new works — effectively, music "composed" by a DJ. Sabbah's music has been remixed by Karsh Kale, Transglobal Underground, Loop Guru, and Bassnectar.

[D] Tango Salon and Milonguero with Andrea Fuchilieri at La Pista
(in San Francisco, San Francisco Bay Area, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 8pm / 20:00 to 9:30pm / 21:30 .
DATE(S): FRIDAYS .
DESCRIPTION:
This class features a first half-hour section of individual technique exercises, building a routine for you to practice on your own, when you are at home or at the gym.
In the second one-hour section we apply the movements to actual dance with a partner. The class focuses on technique, lead-and-follow connection, musicality and steps for the social dance floor, providing a strong foundation on fundamental tango elements such as walking, pivots, turns, rhythm and cadencia, embellishments, enrosques, voleos, planeos, etc.
The material is adapted to your level, so that the class is productive for advanced students as well as beginners. This is a relatively small class so students receive significant individual attention.
You can bring a partner or come alone.
Andrea Fuchilieri was born in the beautiful city of Rosario, Argentina. She began her dance studies in 1983 at age six, and has explored many different genres from ballet, classical Spanish dances, Flamenco, modern dance, contact improvisation, Argentine folklore, Afro-Haitian, and many other ethnic dance forms.
