Well, hello. Please meet Evan Roberts, a swell chap and one of SFist's newest contributors. A most stellar documentarian, he graduated from the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies and has been heard on something called public radio. What's more, Evan will be at the helm of SFist's latest section, SF Works: audio shorts highlighting amusing and absurd occupations in the Bay Area. And if you have an occupation worth profiling, do let us know.......

As yesterday's post listed nary an East Bay event, we're making up for it today: We are going to be on 25th St. in Oakland for 21 Grand's Illuminated Corridor event, a collision of live music and media on the theme of mobility taking place in the street with projections on most available surfaces, with 50 or so artists and musicians. (SFist Sarah L will be cruising around the Oakland Art Murmur with Neighborhood......

We headed to Cafe Du Nord last Friday to catch the sold-out early show by Emily Haines and The Soft Skeleton. By the 9pm showtime, the band was still soundchecking behind closed curtains and didn't start playing to the crowd until an hour later, but it was worth the wait. Haines crouched behind the keys, bird-skinny and soft-voiced, embodying the delicate yin to her animated Metric persona's yang. Eerie old black and white film clips......

Last Friday, your East Bay Correspondent left the confines of her designated area to witness a rare spectacle - a Bay Area performance by Survival Research Labs. which took place in San Jose as part of the ISEA festival. This was the first large-scale (i.e. includes fire) public Bay Area SRL show in approximately 10 years. We did not try to utilize our newfound status as an SFist correspondent in order to wrangle a......

This morning we were lying in bed, trying to summon the will face the day as the Alice Morning Show played in the background. (In the words of SFist Jon: "Hey, they're funnier than the Live105 crew and there's only so much public radio one can take in the morning.") It's so weird, but we could have sworn we heard the CSI half of the late, great CSI: Plumpjack in an interview discussing Gavin......

Thursday night the Castro Theatre looked like a giant faculty meeting of humanities professors from some crunchy liberal arts university. But what can you expect from the West Coast premiere of a Robert Altman movie based on an old timey public radio show that originates in Minnesota of all places, don't cha know? A Prairie Home Companion closed the San Francisco International Film Festival Thursday night to a sell-out crowd. Despite the fact that......

SFist commeters pose for before and aftershocks when the mayor commemorates a 1906 earthquake...at 4:30 in the morning. A hot tip on the Chronicle vending machines comes in and the SFist war correspondent risks life and limb to post this dispatch from the frontlines. Houstonist announces their new Cops spinoff "World's Funniest Tazer Videos" and the possible cancellation of their pervs' "World's Grossest Bathroom Videos" and PBS trains cams on cows at, uhg, Mootube. Also,......

You may have already noticied the surprising tactical move to seize local public transportation, or the advance battalions who've landed on the Embarcadero, sending skirmishers down Market street. Word is that their supported by another invasion force on the North Coast, while yet another detachment is rumored to be marching from South City. BARBARians have us cornered on this damn peninsula! This is especially disconcerting considering news that the invasion is already on the......

You know we love us some pirates -- from the grog-guzzling type who sing shanties to the MPAA-headache-inducing types who post Star Wars. But especially we love pirates of the airwaves like our friends at She Said, She Said who cut through the bulls**t on your radio dial like a hot chainsaw through whipped cream. We first met LeE and Jon of Neighborhood Public Radio at a Southern Exposure show many months ago. So......

For this week's stage offerings, don't blink or you'll miss 'em!...

Based on Wonkette's early numbers, it looks like it could be party-time in the Bay Area. But things have a way of changing at the last minute, so who knows. Either way, you're going to be an a mood for inebriation and laughter - either as a salve for your psychic wounds or as a confirmation of your smug contentment. Why not drop by the Canvas Gallery and watch the returns along with comedians......
