REFRACTION EXPOSITION AT THE GRAY AREA FESTIVAL: The Gray Area Festival, which lasts from Thursday through Sunday, is the second annual occurrence of this technology and culture festival in the Mission, which asks again the question "How can designers, artists, and technologists work together to articulate a vision for a world beneficial for 100% of humanity?" There are four components of the festival, and tickets are available here for all or each. First, there are conferences, with keynote speakers like filmmaker Tiffany Shlain. Then, there are workshops, and at night, performances. But to kick things off, and also to get a taste for a bit less $$, hit up the opening of the exhibition component, called Refraction, which features lots of LED and computer-generated art, such as a very cool-sounding "Drawing Machine:" a device that analyzes and "draws" wifi, phone signals, etc. Gray Area Art & Technology Theater, 2665 Mission Street, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., $5-$20 sliding-scale entry

LESBIAN SEX BOOK TALK: The Lesbian Sex Haiku Book (With Cats!) is a book by Oakland's Anna Pulley, and you guessed it, it is in fact a comprehensive guide to woman-on-woman sex, illustrated with felines.
