Saturday: We're celebrating Chinese New Year by hitting the Chinese New Year Carnival, which runs from January 27 - February 2, daily, 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Admission is free to Walter U. Lum Place, Washington & Clay Street.

Sunday: Consumating, "a site that helps geeks, nerds, hipsters, and bloggers find dates" (and, incidentally, is run by Ben Brown, former editor of our sister site Austinist) is throwing a big party this Sunday night, the 29th, at the all-new Annie's Social Club (now at 917 Folsom). Doors are at 8, drinks are free. Ghostland Observatory, the hottest band out of Austin, Texas is making a special stop on their tour to play a show.

Monday: If you're not already a member of the funcheap SF Yahoo group, join! And then download the Lowes $5 pass, which you can use Monday or Tuesday at the Metreon to see any movie you want for $5. Fun and Cheap indeed! (Thanks to Friend of SFist Amy for the tip on this!)

Tuesday: Friend of SFist Kyeann Sayer will be speaking on a panel at the Commonwealth Club on behalf of her site TreeHugger, "a web magazine dedicated to everything that has a modern aesthetic yet is environmentally responsible". The reception begins at 5:30, and at 6:00 they'll start chatting about environmental blogging. It's gonna be fun.
