SFist Tonight

It's never just me, myself, and I when you've got SFist Jenna on your side!

Ask the Cube Expat!: Are you plotting ways to escape yet another dreary staff meeting right this minute? Dragging out your coffee breaks? Itching to ditch your day job but don't know where to start? Then you should make the trek over to Sausalito tonight and check out freelance writer and editor Michelle Goodman as she lays down a blueprint for breaking beyond the cube. Goodman dishes out advice on how to transition into part-time, flextime, at-home, outdoor, overseas, nonprofit, or self-employed work -- tonight at Habitat Books. If you can't make it across the bridge in time (the event kicks off at 7 pm), catch her again in the city proper, tomorrow at the Borders in Union Square, or pick up a copy of her book online here. Habitat Books, 205 Second Street, Sausalito.

De La Soul is Not Dead!: Still haven't gotten your tickets to Rock the Bells? Get a preview of the summer festival with De La Soul Live at Ruby Skye tonight at 8pm. Part of their Impossible Mission Tour, De La returns to the stage with their NYC brand of quirky lyrics and eclectic samples. Tickets are a hefty $25 but if 3 Feet High and Rising registers anywhere on your top 10 albums lists then you won't want to miss this show. Expect to hear classics ("Me, Myself and I," anyone?) as well as new material off their latest album. Before there was Black Eyed Peas and Digable Planets there was De La Soul -- Ruby Skye, 420 Mason Street, SF.
