SFist Tonight

SFist Jenna sez....:

Get your learn, dessert, dance and drink on at these Tuesday haps around the city:

Reading & Book Signing: A.M Homes, (author of Safety of Objects, Music for Torching and The End of Alice) reading from and signing her latest book, The Mistress's Daughter, about her horrible biological parents, tonight at 7 pm. Booksmith,1644 Haight St. Get there a bit early to take advantage of the free cone day at Ben & Jerry's at 1480 Haight Street.

Battle of the Bands: Four Bay Area bands (Squaretape, Heathrow, Smith Point, Unlikely Hero) compete for the chance to open at the 2007 summer festival, ING Footstock Festival. Show starts at 8 pm, $12 gets you in the door. The Independent, 628 Divisadero.

Industry Night: Work in the industry? Have Tuesday off? Why not unload some of the cash you made over the weekend and lounge in style with at XYZ bar at the W hotel downtown. Offering free snacks (mini-burgers and gourmet pizzas) and cheap glasses of Veuve, $6 Martinis and $4 beers and background music by resident DJs, it's a great way to head into the
work week. XYZ Bar, 6pm-10pm, 181 3rd St.
