Hmm. Oakland resident John Barsamian, a chief warrant officer way back during the Second World War, is putting up for auction a globe he found at the Führer's bombed out home. "The globe [is] to expected to attract bids from $15,000 to $20,000 when it is auctioned Nov. 13 in San Francisco," so start saving your pennies, folks.

Venerable contemporary art institution, Southern Exposure hosts a big fundraiser tonight - its 7th Annual Monster Drawing Rally, where an impressively large number of local artists take turns drawing things on paper, which are then sold for a measley $50 with all proceeds benefiting Southern Exposure's exhibition and educational programs. Some draw monsters, some draw abstract patterns and shapes, though maybe one can be convinced to do caricatures of Bill and Hilary Clinton like the sidewalk guys on Fisherman's Wharf. Rally up at the Verdi Club (2424 Mariposa St between Hampshire and Potrero). (6 - 10:30pm)
