Although it's one of our very favorite cult flicks from the 80s, we have never seen Repo Man on the big screen. It screens tonight at the Castro (429 Castro St at 17th), as part of the series, Tormented Terrestrials Tuesdays. Starring Emilio Estevez in a much more appealing role than the dopey jock from the Breakfast Club, the film also features cult actors, Harry Dean Stanton and Dick Rude, and a soundtrack of......

Tonight: Admit it, you only read the SF Weekly for Savage Love. Well, cranky Dan Savage is finishing up the Bay Area leg of his book tour tonight at Booksmith in the Haight, reading from his new memoir, The Commitment, about his partner, his family, raising his son, and gay marriage. Bring all your embarrassing questions about liaisons gone wrong; we're sure he'd be as thrilled to mock you in public as he is in print!
Thursday: Hey, need any sports equipment? Sports Basement at 16th and DeHaro is sponsoring a fundraiser for the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, which offers youth programs for low-income families. Everything in the store is 10% off, and 5% of all sales go to the Neighborhood House's afterschool programs. There's also a raffle -- win a baseball autographed by JT Snow! And hey! An emergency preparedness kit! (take chances on not taking chances -- we love it!) The reason for the benefit? To help close the $100,000 funding gap caused by city budget cuts. Thanks to SFist pal Mike for the tip!

We simply walked right past the Luggage Store Gallery placard, and would've continued right on down Market Street if it weren't for the man selling cigarettes outside, who, noting our look of bewilderment, kindly directed us to the second floor space. The dark, joyfully graffiti and sticker-encrusted staircase led us to the burst of light that is the Luggage Store Gallery, notorious for its support of young, up-and-coming (or already-arrived) artists such as local......
