MUSIC: Late '90s Santa Cruz band the Huxtables headline a night of "fun rock" tunes. Take, for example, the song their dedicated to Dungeons & Dragons, "Dungeon Master," which they had to revise after the latest edition of the game was released. Talk about staying true to your deliciously dorky roots. (For a more in-depth explanation of this adorable geek-rock song, go here.) Alt-country band the Bitter Sweets and Two If by Sea open......

We need to come up with a new word to describe the tasteless, fabulous, trashy, glamorous style of the Tenderloin. It's not just a slummy neighborhood; it's a slummy neighborhood with a can-do spirit and discerning palette. And one of its heroines is Tenderloinish drag star Juanita More, who, along with three hot Moreboys and the adorable Mike Albo, performed for an adoring crowd at The LGBT Center on Tuesday night. The evening, the......

There is a certain type of theatergoer who, upon seeing Joan Crawford turn, a sudden spotlight on her furious eyes and her dark lips snarled in melodrama, cannot help but cream themselves.

See The Lady From Shanghai tonight at the Balboa's Reel SF Festival! ladyfromshanghai.jpg A true lady from Shanghai, Julie Lee got indicted by the feds yesterday, for mail fraud and witness tampering, over her alleged money laundering for Kevin Shelley. Her attorney says he's never seen someone get busted by the city, the state, and the feds. Yahtzee! We are so sorry that SFist wasn't around at the time of the Noel-Knoller dog mauling case (RIP, Diane Whipple). The best were those line drawings! Hott! But we'll be covering the latest round of legal shenanigans: the California Court of Appeals just reinstated the second-degree murder charges against Knoller, ruling that the DA didn't need to prove that Knoller knew that the dogs would kill someone, just that she knew she couldn't control them. We've said it before, we'll say it again -- you name a dog "Bane," you probably have some kind of idea it might be a crazed killer. And we're going to cover this latest item briefly, but reluctantly, and we were really hoping not to cover it at all: the son of Oakland City Counsel president Ignacio de la Fuente was arrested on two charges of rape last week. De la Fuente, considered a leading candidate for Oakland City mayor, was understandably pretty upset about the news and has been accepting the condolences of the Oakland community. When asked how this would affect his mayoral chances, de la Fuente said, "The last thing on my mind is the mayor's race." ...
