We in the Bay Area are a handy bunch. We're crafty and creative and, some might even say, ingenious. There are those of us who live by the ethos: "Why buy it in a store, when you can make it yourself?" Why, indeed. This week, test out your DIY skills, whether it's on a birthday card, a home project or a quirky craft idea, and let us know the results via Twitter! Kind of like a mosh pit, but not really, Passion Pit turns up the musical ardor tonight at Bimbo's 365. SF's entertainment industry is one of the most innovative in the country, which is why they got their very own theme night at AT&T Park, featuring some of the best talent around the bay. On Thursday, you have your choice of one of two King Khan concerts, either way make sure to check out their "big-band psychedelic boogie" sound. In a rare opportunity, YBCA is giving the public a chance to witness one of the elaborate and secret rituals of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence - putting their face on. If you've ever wondered, here's your chance to sate that curiosity. On Saturday, nothing says "class" like an afternoon filled with Jell-O wrestling. There'll be all-you-can-drink beer, delicious Jell-O shots and, of course, half-nekkid ladies. Now...if you're looking for something a little bit more family-oriented and incredibly creative, then head to the Maker Faire, dubbed as the world's largest DIY festival. You may just get inspired!
