Well, since we've already given you bars in which to see tonight's debate -- all of them, in fact -- and a place to binge eat on fattening food, we're going to recommend a cool new art studio in downtown/SOMA. (Really, it's the only civilized place left in this City.)

ART: New York City artist Tim Roda comes to the better coast for a solo exhibition called "Family Album," a photo blitz that continues his "investigation and reconstruction of his family history." Roda will exhibit photographs from 2003 through 2008 along with five super 8mm films. (Psst, there will be free food and wine available. Pass it on.)
