Stuff To Do If You're Bored
Saturday: We're heading over to the Pacific Film Archive for the Women of Color Film Festival. We're especially interested in the documentary feature Who Killed Vincent Chin?, A documentary about a Chinese American man mistaken for Japanese and beaten to death by unemployed white auto workers, who were convicted with the lightest possible sentences. See the complete schedule here.
Sunday: It's the Oscars, bitches! You want to know how seriously we take the Academy Awards? The only brother of our long time significant other is getting married today, and our SO will be going to the ceremony stag. Congratulations, Pat and Beth -- this SFist will be thinking fondly of y'all as we root against Crash. Some channels are running stuff all day, the ceremony begins at 5 Pacific time on NBC.
Monday: Reader's choice! We can't find a damn thing to do on Monday. What are you doing? Tell us in the comments!
Tuesday: We're going to church! Ha, not like that. Grace Cathedral is hosting a free screening of Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price . It's all happening in the Cathedral's Wilsey Conference Center, with a reception at 6, film at 7, and a discussion after the screening.

Old? You're telling me. I remember the 1977 Oscars, when I was bummed "Star Wars" didn't win Best Picture!
Monday is Drinking Liberally night in San Francisco.... See you at Dalva at 7pm

I always find drinking a convenient escape to forget our society is becoming more and more retrograde in terms of civil liberties and women's rights.
That said, I've been drinking a lot lately.
Heavily, even.
But if you're truly bored on Monday night (early evening), or maybe not even that bored, and you wanna do something different or maybe not so different or maybe just wanna make up for cheating that Bloodbath and Beyond clerk out of 60 dollars on your new Le Crueset, then head on down to 111 Pine Street, Suite 1500, SF and volunteer to help a pro-choice (actually, I'm pretty pro-abortion) group wrap up a petition drive.
They need help desperately to finalize the drive that will attempt to push back against the current (well, old/current/forever) assault on women's, and men's, right to plan their families.

I'll be there volunteering and if you come along, I'll share with you more than you probably will care to know. But don't worry.
I have a gauge for when things get weird.

Monday night? Why, it's the Ask Dr. Hal show at 12 Galaxies. A super-genius answers any and all questions. The best ones earn a shot of Fernet.
that's easy:
Free show with Minus the Bear, Crystal Skulls, Rocky Votolato, The Appleseed Cast

Lower Sproul on the Berkeley campus

Monday is the Edinburgh Castle's film night at 9:30 with shorts by local filmmakers. It's also the first of a four-night stand of Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief at the Castro Theatre, and a brief run of Oscar-nominated documentary shorts at the Balboa.
