This week we have an eclectic mix for you. Art meets fashion meets the movies at Night of the Treeple at Club Six. Then on Friday Flesh, Fetish and Fantasy combine for the Exotic Erotic Expo & Ball at Treasure Island. And if exhibitionist games and vinyl aren't to your taste then there's Honeycut playing at Great American Music Hall. And for all you Oprah-maniacs there's the O, The Oprah Magazine's O You! Event at Moscone Center. There'll be more O-ness than you can possibly imagine. On Sunday, bring your cellphone and your desire for change to the 10-Day Countdown, Rally & Mega Phonebank. Enjoy refreshments, entertainment and special guests then get on the phones to make thousands of calls to voters in key Battleground States!
