- UndergroundfilmMaker Festival: It goes a little something like this, "In an era where filmmakers are called 'users' who 'generate content,' [Hey now! -- sfist] Undergroundfilm wishes to put the spotlight back where it belongs: behind the camera." So far the festival has had three rounds. The portfolio submission, filmmaker interview, and finally, new projects. Now, the filmmakers have been narrowed down to six and-- sigh. Okay, this is starting to sound a bit convoluted. We'll break it down for you the only way we know how: it's an American Idol-ish movie contest, and its season finale is tonight. Got it? The festival starts tonight at 8 p.m. at the Roxie; $10.
- Bill Haley's Original Comets: One of the first ivory outfits to bring rock to the masses -- with such boomerific covers as "Rock Around the Clock" and "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" -- they still perform today. Come catch these Wonder Bread legends of rock tonight at the Red Devil Lounge at 8 p.m.; $20.
- Season premiere of Lost: Yeah, yeah, we screwed this up yesterday. (One might say we too were a bit...lost. Har.) Anyway, the "two-hour" premiere starts at 8 p.m. on ABC. But! ABC's trying to make it sound like it's gonna be a two-hour show, but they're gigantic liars. You see, the first hour is a recap episode and the second hour is the premiere. So...there you go.
- Meat: Clubs editor at SF Weekly, John Graham, claims that DNA Lounge's night of electro-industrial derives its name from "barbecuing a Viking-sized appetite’s worth of free hide on the 11th Street sidewalk." That is awesome. Reason enough to head over to SOMA this evening, which starts at 9:30 p.m. at DNA Lounge; $5.
