The holidays can be stressful. That's why it's important to get out and have some fun between family visits, work parties, cooking and shopping. Thanksgiving eve is packed with parties like Robert Babicz and Oliver $ at Public works and K. Flay at The Independent. Political rapper Immortal Technique is stopping by Occupy camps on his current tour through the Bay Area and tUnE-yArDs is back for a hometown gig at the Regency. Local hip-hop is well represented with Digital Underground and Souls of Mischief and two nights with the reunited Latyrx, featuring Lyrics Born and Lateef the Truthspeaker. Get into the Christmas spirit with tree lighting ceremonies at Union Square and Ghirardelli Square and find one of your own at the Guardsmen Christmas Tree Lot.
