In this day and age, it's hard for any small business to stay afloat, but single-screen, worker-owned-and-operated neighborhood moviehouses are fewer and far between. Show your support to 20-year-old SF gem, the Red Vic Moviehouse, at the Surfpulse Sunday Surf Benefit this weekend. more ›

This week's giveaway comes from The Finches, a local duo who play endearing folk pop. The songs are refreshingly gentle and Carolyn's voice rings with a true sincerity. See them Saturday afternoon at 2pm when they play a free in-store at Amoeba, or celebrate their CD release at Cafe Du Nord on Wednesday night with The Moore Brothers, Colossal Yes and The Mantles. We're giving away a copy of their brand new CD Human Like A House to one lucky winner. (Contest ends 1/30. Winner will be notified via email.) more ›

We're starting to think that the Haight's Red Vic Movie House, a worker-owned theater with comfy couches and yummy popcorn, is hitting that age (you know that age) when they think about sex like, all the time.

As in hardcore, 100-year-old porn and two weekends of unintentionally hilarious 3D porn classics. more ›
