Whether you get your thrills from the Blue Angels lighting up the sky at Fleet Week, the capacity crowds cheering AT&T Park as the Giants look for success in the playoffs, or the numerous live music and club events about town, it's a great time of year to be in SF! Start the week with indie-rock stalwart Guided by Voices and settle into the groove with 2010 buzz band Caribou. Educate yourself in the arts scene with Art Explosion Fall Open Studios. Taste from 250 selections at the 4th Annual WhiskyFest and chase the hangover away at Big Nate's Barbeque 20th Anniversary Party, featuring $10 all-you-can-eat BBQ, or El Rio's 32nd B-Day Party. Liz Phair and the Eels offer more throwbacks to a bygone era of good tunes, and you can't lose with Beats for Boobs.
