The nights are longer and there's a chill to the air, but that's no reason to go into hibernation. Get your legs into shape and take to the ice with the return of the Holiday Ice Rink at Union Square. Keep warm with a libation and watch "barback gladiators" compete at the 2010 Barback Olympics and find the perfect winter ale at the Bay Area Brew Fest. Fatten up and test your endurance at Arby's Olympics and learn about sustainable meat consumption with Conscientious Carnivore. Two of New York's top emcees are in town, Ghostface Killah at Slim's and Talib Kweli performing with a band at Yoshi's. And if you're ready to rock, The Soft Pack, Brandon Flowers, and Cold War Kids have you covered. Don't forget about the holiday shopping season looming ahead. Get an early start and dig up the perfect gift, and maybe some additions to your music collection, at the KUSF Rock 'n' Swap.
