-- Greg Behrendt: SF-native, author of He's Just Not That into You (comfortingly known to many a confused single gal as a symptom of Peter-Pan Syndrome), and comedian takes a break from his talk show to make you snicker/slap your knee. The sheer hilarity starts at 8 p.m. at Cobb’s Comedy Club, 915 Columbus; tickets are $25. more ›

Don't forget it's still Carnaval! But you can check out the following events today too. more ›

The Iranian New Year is traditionally celebrated on the vernal equinox, which was this Monday. San Francisco, though, always fashionably late, is throwing its Norooz party tonight at City Hall. Iranian-American Ross Mirkarimi is hosting the city's first annual Norooz party, along with Gavin Newsom and the local Iranian-American community. In honor of the day, performers from the Nejad World Music Center and Ballet Afsaneh will perform. The festivities kick off at 6:15 in the City Hall Rotunda. Civic Center, we can't wait to see the pictures you'll get of the event! more ›

Clap your hands say Wednesday! Tonight: Have a mellow hump day in that interregnum between Christmas and New Year's and check out the Mission-area Community Music Center's jazz clinic performance at the Savanna Jazz Club on Mission between 25th and 26th Streets at 7:30. Thursday: After trying and failing to return to Virgin that horrendous joke CD you won in the office Christmas pool ("come on! It's still shrink-wrapped!"), stop by Union Square and watch the Bill Graham menorah get the fifth candle lit at 5 p.m. Friday: Well, no one's going to try and swallow an alligator here or anything, but the Academy of Sciences will be conducting its weekly snake feedings at the Steinhart Aquarium today. Most of the snakes will be fed humanely-euthanized mice and rats, but the Burmese whipsnakes will be fed fish. Feedings start at 2, and we're guessing no, they will not allow you to wear a python like Britney Spears either. Don't forget the Academy of Sciences has temporarily moved to SoMA.
