Brian Eno's visual imagescape 77 million paintings premiers tonight at Yerba Buena with a 45-foot wall of projections of changing images set to an evolving soundscape. Tickets are $25 unless you're a student or senior. No word on whether Eno will be there...but it seems worth it all the same. 701 Mission St., SF. Other haps: Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, Debbie Harry plus host Margaret Cho at the Greek Theater in Berkeley at 7pm. Feel......

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. Tim Redmond says the progressives need something to do (so why not run a mayoral candidate?). Too many skyscrapers. Wi-fi and sunshine laws, Ruby Rippey-Tourk, cars in Golden Gate Park, and SF is totally unprepared for global warming. The gay porn Oscars! Cover articles: Noise Pop! SFist Elaine says to check out Scissors for Lefty. Dude, there's like a review for every band playing! Yay Noise Pop! L.E. Leone......

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. And ... whoa! Pictures of Margaret Cho's burlesque performance online (probably NSFW, but not really hardcore or anything). Make Gavin Newsom tell us what he does all day. Aaron Peskin on some kind of shenanigans with a City College building in North Beach. And -- this is weird -- so the Guardian is sort of mad at (or at least puzzled by) Chris Daly on Sophie Maxwell's housing plan,......

We're back from our two-day vacation from the site with your Day Around The Bay, as SFist Jon continues to struggle with his DSL. --Children meet cows. --After a mysterious price rise last week that was unsupported by the economic fundamentals, gas prices have now dropped again. Did something happen last week? --The club Mingles in Jack London Square is closing down permanently after the death of a pregnant woman in a shooting last......

If you're an aspiring filmmaker who has always dreamed of having your work judged by the likes of Melissa Etheridge, Edward Norton, and Margaret Cho, then have we got the contest for you. Current TV is looking for short films that address issues of "tolerance and understanding diversity" to be featured on their network. The grand prize is $100,000.00. A few of the rules, as presented in their press release, after the jump.......

Sure, we love IndieFest, but it's hardly the only Fest going on this week. This year's Korean American Film Festival opened last night, and continues through February 12. We know, we know, the website is damn near impossible to navigate and just plain confusing. We promise the time you devote to wading through it will be worth your while, as there are many, many cinematic gems buried within. We'll be seeing some of the......

Let's get the tech out of the way first: John Hoar finds an article discussing the potential legal liabilities of Tech Connect. Could Susan Mernit and Chris Lopez be talking about the same thing -- namely, a Knight Ridder-Google merger? And if you needed any more evidence that Apple is selling sex more than tech, see what you come up with analyzing Jessie Johnson's dream. Kevin Cheng can finally talk about his latest project......

"Everyone who comes to a Margaret Cho show is either gay or Asian," one of our companions said as we fought our way into Symphony Hall on Friday night among the oceans of Banana Republic pants, leather jackets, and nicely-pressed colorful tops, for the first of Ms. Cho's SF shows on her new Assassin tour. "Or both!", responded our gay Asian-American companion. Margaret Cho is, of course, San Francisco's no-holds-barred Korean-American comedienne, and a proud dropout of Lowell High who then went on to star in the first-ever Asian-American TV comedy, All American Girl -- which then became the first-cancelled Asian-American TV comedy. And then the subject of Margaret's real breakout one-woman show and book, I'm the One That I Want. She brought her latest stand-up show back home, to an ecstatic, cat-calling crowd. Hit the expand-o-tron below for more Bush jokes than you can shake a stick at, and an update on Margaret's mom's health....

If you aren't checking out Frameline, seeing some music (Stern Grove on Sunday!) or peeing your pants at the Purple Onion, how about... Tonight, SF Homegirl Margaret Cho (who our sources say has been using some of the same material since high school) performs two shows tonight at Davies Symphony Hall as part of her Assasin tour. Tickets start at a whopping $25. But hey, support a blogger, will ya? Tomorrow at 11:30, revellers......

Long-time readers of this site may remember a certain, um, "fixation" we had on a certain picture of our mayor and his then-wife, in happier times. Well, it looks like Niners PR man Kirk Reynolds was similarly inclined! No one's laughing about the mea culpa hat-in-hand tours that the Niners' owners are making around the various offended groups in town. Last week, John York and Reynolds met with members of the gay community in the LGBTQ headquarters in the Castro to apologize for mocking gay marriage in the infamous training video, and yesterday, they went to Chinatown to apologize to Asian-Americans for depicting a buck-toothed accented Asian character in the video too. One 18-year-old Asian-American Niners fan told York, "You guys are like our heroes. So when I saw that video, I don't know how to describe it -- it was heartbreaking." And sitting sternly in attendance too -- the Asian-American who paid for the renaming of Monster Park, Noel Lee. Lee told the Examiner that the video reminded him of "ridicule" he faced growing up in the Richmond and that "I thought that was behind me until I saw this video." Quite a lot of damage to do for a lame joke about l's and r's, huh? Hey, here's an idea: Lee and the gay community should get together and rename Candlestick B.D. Wong and Margaret Cho Field! Lee paid all that money, didn't he? ...

SFist is proud to presnt you YET another San Francisco native. We could have asked Rain probing questions about going to high school with Margaret Cho, Sam Rockwell, and Aisha Tyler--YES!! THAT Aisha Tyler, but we chose instead to ask more meaningful questions about the best burrito and best deal in San Francisco. If you don't own a TV set, Rain might not have much to say to you, but to those who do,......
