Found Magazine's inexhaustible founders, Davy and Peter Rothbart, will be at Berkeley's Pegasus Books tonight and at SF's The Dark Room on Thursday night for Found's "There Goes the Neighborhood Tour 2007." We're excited to see what's in Davy's trunk of "sparkling, brand-new finds" and be privy to Peter's songs based on notes from Found #5, aka "The Crime Issue." The Bay Area marks the halfway point in the bros.' "65-city, 36-state, 3-month rampage!" Found......

It's Bad Movie Night at the Dark Room SF! Every Sunday night, they screen some terrible-sounding movie with some wisecracking hosts and free popcorn. May is Razzies Month, where they'll screen the 2006 worst-movie nominees, and tonight's featured movie is Little Man, where Shawn Wayans plays a midget criminal pretending to be a baby. That looks awful. 2263 Mission (x 18th), 8 p.m., $5. Other events: --Belly dancers, including local troupe Fat Chance Belly Dance,......

Free food and drink; sale goes from 6-10 on the 2nd floor of CCA, at 1111 8th Street (at 16th Street and Wisconsin. Isn't it weird that 8th Street and 16th Street cross?) ...

Okay, five words: "Princess Bride, The Play." Sure, that's only four words, but we think the fifth word, OMFG, is implied. (So, nine words total. Whatever.) At The Dark Room Theatre, Impossible Productions (the group that brought us stage versions of Reservoir Dogs, Dr. Strangelove, and Clue) seems to be attempting to live up to its name: you can't deny that you're curious about how they'll pull it off. The Fire Swamp...Andre The Giant...The Cliffs......
