SFist Jessie takes the 1960s to ancient times at the East Bay theater. If you've ever wondered what the Weather Underground and The Book of Jeremiah could have in common, then check out the innovative new production I Have Loved Strangers from Berkeley-based theater company, Just Theater. We don't claim to know a whole lot about theater (although, yes, we did have a solo line in the Pirates of Penzance in the 7th grade), but......

When we're not poring over voter information to make sure we're the best informed voter we can be, we're hanging out at our local bookstores. And if the other guy wins (you know who we're talking about) we'll be reserving books from the San Francisco Public Library so we can mentally escape from it all. (That is, if he doesn't just get rid of all the libraries! Darn that other guy!) SFist Jon just......
