MUSIC: "Power-pop wunderkind" Ben Kweller hits The Great American tonight in support of his new record, Go Fly A Kite, which is "filled with catchy piano riffs, lush harmonies, big guitar lines, and genre-blending pop arrangements." Also featuring guests, Sleeper Agents and Noah Gundersen. (8 p.m., The Great American Music Hall, 859 O'Farrell Street)
ART: It's another installment of the hugely popular So You Think You Can Paint tonight, in which the organizers "provide the space, paint, brushes, tunes, cheap drinks and a ton of wall space for all to paint. The idea is to complete as many 8 foot pieces as possible by 11 p.m." (6 to 11 p.m., Club Six, 60 Sixth Street)
FOOD: VegNews and Vegansaurus present the monthly San Francisco Vegan Drinks event, featuring vegan drink specials and an all-vegan bar menu, such as Sweet Potato Tots, Beer-Battered Onion Rings, and Veggie Sliders. Yum! (6 to 8 p.m., Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, 2323 Mission Street)
