"I'm Bear Grylls, and I'm in a land overrun by the most passive aggressive creatures on the planet. Even city dwellers fear to tread here. But I'm going straight into the heart of this strange and archaic part of the world... Berkeley, California." Following quickly on their popular third-wave coffee mockumentary, Killing My Lobster brings us this mildly funny video about our friends across the Bay. Who deserves mockery more than Berkeley? Well, sadly there was probably much more to mock than they covered here -- the City Council meetings alone! Alice Waters! -- but this will have to do. more ›

This gem has been all over the place this week. Local comedy group Killing My Lobster poke some major fun at our fair city's artisan coffee craze with this brilliant spoof on a Ken Burns-style documentary.

As part of the National Queer Arts Festival, graphic artist and memoirist Alison Bechdel is speaking at Michelle Tea's Radar Reading Series at the SF Public Library tonight! We've been huge fans of Bechdel's , about her relationship with her closeted gay father totally blew our mind with its psychoanalytical depth.

We've had a pretty good time these past couple of years going to the San Francisco Sketchfest and we're pretty excited it's coming around again. This year, Sketchfest starts up January 11th and promises to be just as good as the previous years. more ›

We went to go see Killing My Lobster's new sketch comedy musical, KML Faces the Music and all we can say is go see it. Now. It's worth it just for the absolutely brilliant gospel number about the healing power of the burrito and the mc battle between a Marina and Mission girl. more ›

This week we go a little mental. more ›

Music-loving good samaritans, this is your lucky week. If you like to enjoy a little partying and live performance in exchange for your charitable contributions, you have no less than six different tsunami relief benefits to choose from. On Friday, The Independent is having their second benefit, featuring members of New Monsoon, ALO, Samantha and the Ritual for a donation of $10-50. Great American's benefit that night with indie kings Gibbard, Kozelek, Richman and Bachman is sold out, but buying a ticket from a scalper would be even more wrong than usual. Bottom of the Hill's "Wave of Relief" benefit is on Sunday, with Blind Justice, The MoFonics, OM&M, et al. Monday night Erase Errata, Murder Murder, Curse of the Birthmark and So So Many White White Tigers rock the Elbo Room. Wednesday night brings another benefit at Bottom of the Hill, with Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Jason Quever from the Papercuts and several others, for $7 and up. Also that night is a benefit presented by A Show of Hands at Rickshaw Stop with comedy, film, dance, theatre and music from the likes of Hard Nox and Killing My Lobster, for a donation of $5-20. Look at you, San Francisco, doin' so good! For those about to rock for a good cause, we salute you. more ›
