ART: Check out Circular Time, "a live reading of artist Packard Jenning's project, Longshot: Dining Labor and Ponies on view now at the SFAC Gallery as part of the exhibition Now & When. For the project, Jennings "invited eight conceptual artists to meet in the private dining room of an upscale restaurant to discuss what project to make with their project budget provided by the gallery. The brainstorming for a time capsule took place over the course of a three-hour meal. After the bill was paid there was not enough stipend left to produce the project. All that remained was the conversation." And that conversation? Will be performed by hired reading a transcription of the Longshot dinner conversation. Think of it as A Chorus Line (a show also based on transcripts) minus the music, the dancing, and Miss Donna McKechnie's groundbreaking performance.

MUSIC: Gram Rabbit ("Dry and tough as mule jerky, sexy as a swayed hip, the music weaves elements of electro-dance, Byrd’s-era country rock, inner-space jazz, and gnomic meditations in the manner of Spiritualized and Pink Floyd into a sound that’s unaffectedly homey, profoundly ambitious, and frankly revolutionary," beams LA CityBeat), Chambers ("combine multiple genres, ranging all the way from trashy math-rock to dreamy ambient pop and retro-futuristic disco, while keeping a heavy rhythmic and melodic core to ground them in a unified direction," coos SF Weekly), and Part Time (", like Roxy Music scoring Liquid Sky," exclaims Dan Strachota) will perform in Hayes Valley. And, when was the last time you were in Hayes Valley? It's been too long, really.
