If you chose not to make the long trip to Coachella this year, you can take your pick from many of the headliners this week as they pass through the Bay Area. Celebrate the return of Brazil's CSS to the U.S. and check out Omar Rodriguez-Lopez during intimate shows in San Francisco. Lauryn Hill is warming up her vocals at The Warfield while Cut Copy takes over the Regency for two nights. Instead of choking down dust and desert heat, dig into Taste 2011, featuring a lineup of local chefs, mixologists, visual artists, and musicians. Act quickly today to get a Free Ice Cream Cone at Ben & Jerry's and find food for thought at Our Daily Bread, featuring stories that celebrate what we eat and the "culture that underlies our eating practices." Donuts presents a sweet show with Legowelt and Miracles Club at Public Works, and Jack Beats and Star Eyes are working the tables at Mighty.
