ART: Artist Aaron Terry has transformed Ever Gold Gallery into a cave-like installation in an exhibition entitled, Resistance to the Indignities of Modern Life, in which the viewer becomes part of a massive common story that 
will evolve during the duration of the exhibition. The exhibition will feature appearances byTerry’s alter ego, the 
Urban Yetti, a mythical character borne from Terry’s childhood uprooting 
from a childhood on remote land to an adolescence in urban Philly. (6 to 10 p.m., Ever Gold Gallery, 441 O'Farrell Street)

MUSIC: SF Indie's Another Hole in the Head Film Festival, which features all the best in horror, fantasy, and sci-fi, kicks off tonight with a hard core launch party and death rock/punk/garage rockabilly show to get your blood pumping. The line-up includes legendary Bay Area bands, Plan 9, Los Shimmy Shakers, and the Yes Gos. (9 p.m., Cellspace, 2050 Bryant Street)

SALON: In conjunction with the new Gertrude Stein exhibit at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, poet and editor Jesse Nathan and composer and painter Chris Janzen present Dinner, a series of epic poem songs that narrate — with words, jazz, rock and roll, and electronica — a fantastical, salon-like dinner party populated by Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, Bobby Fischer, Michael Jackson, Billie Holiday, Glenn Gould, and other dead eccentrics. (7 to 9 p.m., Contemporary Jewish Museum, 736 Mission Street)
