There's barely a breather between Pride weekend and the Fourth of July holiday, which for some is hopefully a four-day situation. If you're staying in town and looking for reasons to leave the house, we have some for you.

TUESDAY, JUNE 28

COMIC MEMOIR READING: Oakland-based poet and writer Kim Addonizio's work has been described by Refinery 29 as "Somewhere between Jo Ann Beard's The Boys of My Youth and Amy Schumer's stand-up," and she'll be reading from her edgy new memoir Bukowski in a Sundress this evening. The book turns a tender but comic eye on "her father, who sparked her love of poetry; her mother, a former tennis champion who struggled through Parkinson's at the end of her life; and her daughter, who at a young age chanced upon some erotica she had written for Penthouse." Book Passage, 1 Ferry Building, 6 p.m., Free

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29

LIVE FEED FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR: Head over to The Exploratorium on your lunch hour to take part in a live "ship chat" with scientists aboard the Exploration Vessel Nautilus, currently stationed off the Central Coast. Watch as they use a remotely operated vehicle to explore the deep ocean floor here which features "terrain criss-crossed with canyons, seamounts (underwater mountains), and steep cliffs, all of which provide habitat for coral, sponges, and other marine life, including organisms never seen by humans." Pier 15, Embarcadero at Green, Fisher Bay Observatory Gallery, 1:30 p.m. Free with $30 museum admission

LOCAL ROCK SHOW: Local band The Liners, who perform their own brand of "dirty rhythm and blues infused rock and roll," headline a triple bill at the historic Hotel Utah tonight along with Charba and local collective The Junk Show for what's sure to be a lively good time. Hotel Utah, 500 4th Street at Bryant, 8 p.m., $10

THURSDAY, JUNE 30

TENDERLOIN PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW: Frequent contributor to SFist, photographer Darwin Bell, moved to the Tenderloin a few years ago from Hayes Valley and has been training his camera on all the colorful vistas and historic corners of this neighborhood. In connection with the store at the Tenderloin Museum, Bell is having an opening of his new exhibit, "Colors of the Tenderloin," where you can meet the artist and perhaps buy some of his always vivid and beautiful work. Tenderloin Museum, 398 Eddy Street, 6:30 to 9 p.m. Free

STANLEY KUBRICK EXHIBIT AND TALK: Legendary film director Stanley Kubrick is getting a first-of-its-kind museum retrospective at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, which includes some 800 objects culled from Kubrick's estate including annotated screenplays, the dresses of the creepy sisters from The Shining, the survival kit from Dr. Strangelove, and a model of the centrifuge from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Thursday night's opening coincides with the museum's late-night hours, and you can combine your perusing of the exhibit with a panel discussion on his life and work, moderated by Anastasia James. Contemporary Jewish Museum, 736 Mission Street near 3rd, 6:30 p.m. free with $12 museum admission

MISSION FIRE FUNDRAISER: The 57 people displaced by that five-alarm fire two Saturdays ago in La Lengua are going to need a lot of help getting back on their feet. This event at El Rio is one easy way to help, and it will feature a night of live music with proceeds all being matched by a corporate sponsor and donated directly to the families effected. You can also donate here if you can't attend. El Rio, 3158 Mission Street, 8 p.m., $10

FRIDAY, JULY 1

PANSEXUAL L.A. PARTY IN S.F.: Fans of Los Angeles's A Club Called Rhonda should be happy to know they're back in town for the holiday weekend, with fun DJ's, a joyful atmosphere, and the exact opposite of "filler house music," as DJ Andy Butler says. Mezzanine, 444 Jessie Street, 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., $20-$30, tickets here.

SATURDAY, JULY 2

HARD FRENCH HANGOVER PARTY: Saying they want to "help you chill out after SF's wildest week of the year," Hard French's post-Pride "Hangover Part 6" affair should do you just right. As always there'll be free BBQ until it runs out, retro soul and girl groups from DJs Carnita and Brown Amy, as well as a guest DJ TBA... "because we're just waking up now and figuring this all out." El Rio, 3158 Mission Street, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., $10

FREE OPERA IN THE BALLPARK: You may not be able to afford a decent ticket to the SF Opera to see their new, rad production of Bizet’s Carmen. But the opera and the SF Giants invite you to come watch a live simulcast from the opera house Saturday night at AT&T Park, complete with a rousing rendition of "Take Me Out to the Opera" led by Beach Blanket Babylon's Tammy Nelson. Lots and lots of people go to this, so don't show up late. AT&T Park, 7:30 p.m., Free

SUNDAY, JULY 3

FREE OUTDOOR RAP BATTLE: Taking over Stern Grove this weekend will be Oakland-based Hieroglyphics, offering up "their signature battle rhyming and freestyling over funky and jazzy beats," along with special guest Dan The Automator and dancers from the Golden State Breakers. And if you want to meet and hear from the Hieroglyphics off stage, they'll be doing a pre-show talk, moderated by Davey D, at Stern Grove’s Trocadero Clubhouse at noon. 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard, 2 p.m., Free

MONDAY, JULY 4

BIG CHEESY TOURIST PARTY: If you're new to the area and want to take it all in, newbie-style, at Pier 39, the fun starts at noon and there will be plenty of tourists and families from the far-flung corners of the Bay Area there with you. There is, of course, an 80's cover band called Tainted Love, plenty of places to eat greasy food, and sea lions. Hang out into the evening you'll get to enjoy some...

FIREWORKS!: Will you be able to see them? Your guess is as good as ours, but chances are slim that you'll see much unless you head to the Embarcadero and toward the direction of Fisherman's Wharf, or out onto one of the piers. The fireworks are generally shot from two barges, one near Aquatic Park and one near Pier 39, so bear that in mind, and don't expect to see more than a few flashes in the fog even if you have a fantastic high-rise view. Alternatively, you can also see plenty of illegal fireworks — some very impressive — all over the Mission. Pier 39, 9:30 p.m., Free
