Wednesdays, The New Wednesdays

Wednesday will deposit $20 million into your Nigerian bank account if you'll write SFist a $20,000 check. [before the FBI comes after us for committing fraud, we're kidding, we're kidding!] Tonight: Parlez-vous meetup? San Franciscan French speakers are meeting up at 8 p.m. at Catalyst Cocktails (312 Harriet, at Bryant and 6th) to practiquent the language, and boivent some drinks. (did we conjugate those right?)

Thursday: Now that the Basque ETA has declared a cease fire, Artists' Television Access is screening "Silent Voices," a documentary about people victimized by the movement. $5, 8 p.m., 992 Valencia.

and Friday: The Temple of Poi puts on a fire-dancing performance at 7:30 tonight at Union Square, totally free. Poi is a dance form where you move weighted things around your body on a cord -- fire, lights, glasses of water, you name it. If you fear fire and/or Union Square, go instead to the Precita Eyes benefit fundraiser at their studios on 24th and Harrison, where finalists in the Mural Appreciation Month competition will display their work, and you can watch a live mural performance too. 2981 24th St, 7-10 p.m.
