TRIBUTE: Youth Speaks presents its 15th Annual Bringing the Noise for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, a showcase of work by young writers throughout the Bay Area paying tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a real activist and real man, not a martyr or legend. (7 p.m., Herbst Theatre, 401 Van Ness Avenue)
MUSIC: Deep Sea Diver, featuring Jessica Dobson of the Shins, headlines tonight's show at the Elbo Room. Also in the line-up are Seattle's Bryan John Appleby and Northern Calfiornia's Wesley Jensen and Matt Dorrien. (9 p.m., 647 Valencia Street)
STORYTELLING: [Update: Woops, this event is actually taking place on Tuesday, 1/17. Sorry for the confusion.] The LitUp storytelling series returns with “Will It Hurt? Tales of the First Time,” featuring six writers telling their humorous stories about various first times -- "from first kisses, to first apartments, to first marriages resulting in first divorces." (7 p.m., Intersection for the Arts, 925 Mission Street)
