SF Happy Hour

Has it already been 100 days since the Presidential Inauguration? Can you imagine a job where millions of people all over the world were watching your every move and tracking your progress? That's a lot of pressure. What have you done since January 20th? If it's particularly special, then Twitter @sfstation and let us know!

This week we have plenty of picks for you. Get things going tonight at Lollipop Tuesdays at the Cat Club. It'll get you warmed up for the SFS Happy Hour at Atmosphere. Come and hang out with our crew! On Friday night, dress to impress at Opel's 7th Anniversary Fashion Show at Mezzanine. And no one does Cinco De Mayo like SF's Mission district. Grab your friends, a picnic blanket, and some grub and head to Dolores Park for this all day celebration. Another fun park activity will be across town on Sunday - the SF Kickball Coalition Season Opener at Lindley Meadow in GGP will be a guaranteed good time. Then on Monday, don't miss Macaframa: SFBC Bike Movie Night at The Independent.

"Love 'em or hate 'em, there definitely ain't no one like 'em. Ladytron is a perfectly named group, as its music consists primarily of girls singing -- there's the lady -- and weird robotic synth-derived sounds -- the tron. The name comes from a song off Roxy Music's first album..."

"Sung over a martial drumbeat comes the first lines of "Mutiny," the opening track on William Elliott Whitmore's ANTI- Records debut Animals In The Dark, and it is immediately apparent that this is not simply a continuation of his Southern trilogy that spanned his last three releases.

"I've been involved in community organization since I was 10, so it's naturally integrated into my music. One of the reasons I wanted to be a songwriter in the first place was so I could sing lyrics that I believed in and that come from my heart. I draw from my own experience and the experiences I've watched others go through. I want my music to truly represent me, instead of trying to fit stereotypes that women in this industry are encouraged to fit into."
