Noir City – San Francisco’s NOIR CITY festival returns to the majestic Castro Theatre for ten days, January 22–31, 2010. The theme for this eighth incarnation of the world’s most popular noir film series is part and parcel of classic noir: “Lust and Larceny.”
My partner Erik went to the Warfield last night. The show was really fun. They played all the hits plus rockabilly Christmas classics. This is a yearly event and we highly recommend for next year.
Saturday – Unsilent Night- Boombox Christmas Parade, 7:30 Delores Park
“Now hitting its 15th year, Unsilent Night has been performed across the world, from Berlin to Tallahassee, and has been recreated in the studio for a gorgeous CD on Bang on a Can’s Cantaloupe Music label. One of few Christmas albums actually worth buying, the disc is an ambient wash of heaven-sent shimmer, recognizable as seasonal mostly for its modulating bells and time-stretched hymnal melodies.”
- The Onion
Sunday – 7th Annual Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas Extravaganza, Warfield, evening
Widely recognized as the father of modern day rockabilly, Brian Setzer continues to nurture the tradition with The Brian Setzer Orchestra, a 17-piece ensemble which elevates the stripped down sound of his renowned band The Stray Cats to exponential sonic heights.

If you were driving around the city yesterday, you saw the hoardes of Santas. I thought it might be the Flaming Lips in town. But I asked one of the Santas and they said “Santacon”. Here is the lowdown:
From the website: http://santacon.info/San_Francisco-CA/ SantaCon is for adults – where guys & girls of legal age dress up like Santa and go cavorting around town for no better reason than that it’s huge fun. The first SantaCon took place in San Francisco in 1994 and was sponsored by The San Francisco Cacophony Society.
