North
Beach Festival
It's time for the 52nd Annual Precious Cheese
North Beach Festival, and despite all the whining
and hoopla, and thanks to Mayor Newsom, alcoholic
beverages will continue to be served! The festival
organizers and the throngs of die-hard patrons
will definitely be cheers-ing to that as they
enjoy the arts and crafts, live music, and other
delights, including a Celebrity Pizza Toss,
Animal Blessings (yes, they bless everything
from Fido to pet Iguanas), and an Italian street
chalk art competition. Don't miss Tainted Love's
performance of '80s hits! Date:

The
Passage
If you were at Burning Man last year, you might
have met a friend of mine. She was a beautiful
woman, about 35 feet tall, 22,000 pounds, and
spent the whole week pouring her knowledge,
love, and life experience in the form of liquid
fire into her child's hand. The two of them
formed The Passage, quite possibly the iconic
art piece of BRC in 2005. This incredible steel
creation by Dan Das Mann and Karen Cusolito
(and a slew of their friends) has been awarded
a prestigious honor, as it will be installed
on the Embarcadero near the Ferry Building for
6 months. Massive in scale and yet possessing
amazing depth of detail up close, this is a
landmark piece exposing all of San Francisco
to playa-scale art as part of B.R.A.F.'s
collaboration with the city. Check out the official
dedication this Friday, which will be followed
up by an old-school rager of an afterparty at
Headless Point to celebrate art at its finest.
Date: Fri. 6/16, Time:
11am (Press Event), 6pm (Opening Ceremony),
9pm (afterparty), Place: Press
Event & Opening Ceremony: Pier 14 (Mission
@ Embarcadero), Afterparty: Headless Point, More

Stern
Grove Season Opener
Every year since 1938 the Stern Grove Festival
has provided San Franciscans with free performances
that enrich and enliven the civic atmosphere.
This year's festival kicks off with a pair of
musicians who have gained fame by applying their
eclectic and honest sound to a pair of movie
soundtracks. Aimee Mann is a tremendously talented
songwriter whose narrative style earned
her an Academy Award nomination for Save
Me, which was part of the soundtrack for
the film Magnolia. Seu
Jorge first gained recognition for playing
Knockout Ned in City of God, and his
samba roots were on display as he acoustically
covered various David Bowie songs in Portuguese
for The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. It's
all free and a long-standing tradition
in a city that's always changing itself,
not to mention a hell of a great way to spend
a summer afternoon. Date: Sun.
