There are few places in the world where, within the course of three days, you can grab a drink and catch an evening of live art at Sketchfest before watching the room turn blue with Bawdy Storytelling and pogo dancing to the punk rock of Anti-Flag. In San Francisco this week, those events are all occurring before the weekend hits! And while you relish in the fact that unique entertainment options like the Star Trek Convention, the Obama Roast, and the Cat's Pajamas are the norm here, take stock in the realization that the coin could flip at any moment and a major disaster similar in scale to the tragedy in Haiti could strike our earthquake-prone region. If it's within your means, take a few moments while planning your week to make a donation to one of several organizations with disaster relief funds for the devastated country. Call the American Red Cross +1.800.733.2767 for more information.

Derail it! De-tune it! Stack it all up and let it clatter back down again. Tour the innercoastal waters in a sailboat with friends. Get labeled gothic country and avant-something and psyche-something then tie it up in a burlap sack and toss it in the Rio Grand; toast life while the whole...

Ursula Scherrer's five-channel video is projected onto suspended fabric, drawing the viewer into an architecture of images, colors and light: representations of fleeting and indefinable presence, of everything that is "amidst."
