Happy Easter (and Other Non-denominational Good Tidings)

Have a fun, festive, and frivolous Sunday on this, the day of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Or not.
Be sure to hit up the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's Easter Party in Dolores Park. Those wacky gals are hosting a Best Bonnet Contest (1 p.m.); a Hunky Jesus Competition (3:20 p.m.); music from the B-Cups, the Ex-Boyfriends, SFBoylesque, and Charm School Dropouts; mayhem, mirth, and much more. A spring-y, sun-drenched San Francisco tradition not to be missed. free
Don't forget the 8th Annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race, where you plunge downhill at dangerous speeds on nothing but a flimsy, plastic child's toy. Starts at 5 p.m. at Vermont and 20th Street (curvier than too touristy Lombard Street, by God!) free
Or you can check out Easter's Dead: an evening with film artist, Charles Chadwick. The local and wildly acclaimed film maker's interests of the now include "the existential potentials of non-narrative cinema and experimental music." Heavy, indeed. Some of his bite-sized features will include The Unseen Hand, "an educational, phenomenological film about your local waterworks;" Mirror Reflected, about a "man [who ]enters a dark warehouse [and then] subsequently discovers that he is unable to escape;" Here Lie Serpents about "a depiction of what could be called ordinary gods: masters of their own interpretations, but without other worldly deities to define them;" and many more.
Head over to Laughing Squid's comprehensive Squid List for a full schedule and summary of tonight's movies. The screen lights up at 7 p.m. at the Climate Theater, 285 - 9th Street (at Folsom). $5

brock, i really want to know where that photo is from. i am so intrigued by that easter egg!
dude!
it's a Cadbury's creme egg. Try walgreens. They're probably half price at this point. BLECH.
oh wow that thing is real? i thought it was an art piece!
No, it's a real piece of candy. They come wrapped in colorful aluminum foil, outside chocolate, inside resides a big disgusting mess of HFCS, lard, dyes, and god knows what else.
They look cool, but even as an 8 year old candy addict, I refused to ever taste one.
i couldn't agree with you more, bluecanary. Cadbury Eggs are the Bugles of the sweet snack world.
They are getting smaller. The today show had a segment this morning that showed Hershey's are making creme eggs smaller now to save money. They had two of them side by side, an old one and the new one, they are much smaller. Cadburys licenses its product in the us to Hershey's who decided to make it smaller. It is still the larger size in the UK and Ireland. Jeez,
if you click on the photo credit, you not only learn it is a cadbury egg, but you have an article discussing how hershey's is now making them smaller. ;)
