Sum Sun Day eVents

Okay, folks... I'm getting to this weekend's events kinda late, usually I try to post them by Thursday. But I've kinda posted these already, so I'm not really behind schedule I suppose.

First, if you feel the need to do anything this weekend in San Francisco; then, you should be watching a film! The Castro has their Annual Silent Film Festival, which is truly remarkable and we are very fortunate to have such a unique event. I personally think their entire Sunday lineup is worth seeing, including Laurel and Hardy, Girl with the Hatbox, The Unholy Three, and Show People.

If irreverent humor isn't your thing, then maybe you should consider visiting The Red Vic Moviehouse for the Sunday & Monday screenings of The Conformist (Le Conformiste). This is a remarkable work of cinematography (Vittorio Storaro, Cinematographer), with (IMO) some of the most memorable visual shots of any film I've ever seen to date. Many a film schools use this work as an example of cinema, and for good reason. Oh yeah, another good reason to see on the big screen (other than stunning visual imagery) is because it's not available on dvd.

If you can't go to the tropics, then bring the tropics to you! Stern Grove is having a Hawa'iian vocal ensemble and hula concert this Sunday.

If something quieter is on your mind, then perhaps the Monet in Normandy exhibition at The Legion of Honor?A great deal from DealCatcher is the KitchenAid Pro 5 Plus Bowl Lift Mixer for $165 on Amazon. While I'm not a big fan of Amazon (can search my blog for more info), it's a heckuva deal on a spiffy kitchen product that I don't own. Yes, it's factory re-conditioned... But, yes, it's also FREE shipping. Price on Amazon is $189.99. Use coupon code: CLEAROUT for an extra $25 off during checkout.
