| The Drones, The Holy Kiss Hemlock Tavern | Thu., August 28, 9:00pm | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
Melbournes the Drones are much more turbulent than their moniker suggests.

| "Phoebe Seligman" Oxenrose Salon | Daily from Thu., August 21 until Mon., September 1 | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
| Some people look at old photographs and they just see corn. Bow ties, earnest facial expressions, cat-eye glasses: You know, corn. Corny corn. But painter Phoebe Seligman isn't one of them.

| Riot on Sunset Strip Film Festival Red Vic Movie House | Daily from Thu., August 28 until Sun., August 31 | Haight/Fillmore | |
For some, the Sixties were all about the politics. For others, they were all about the sex.
