Do More Than Vote!
Regardless of what issues speak to your soul, you have to know that the ideals our nation was founded on whither and die without your direct participation. Casting a ballot is the first step, but if you truly want to make your voice heard and your beliefs upheld you have to be willing to put in the effort and go that extra mile. Course, there's no reason you can't have fun at the same time, right? That's what this event is all about as info on acting politically is delivered along with banging beats from some of SF's best. Aaron Pope, Syd Gris, Shissla and Ben Maybe will be keeping the tempo upbeat at this free event while over 20 organizations representing a variety of political causes will be there to offer up avenues for you to participate in this beautiful thing we call democracy.

Best of the Bay Party
The Guardian's got your picks for this year's outstanding Bay Areans… and to celebrate, they've put together a huge party. With Zion-I, the Extra Action Marching Band, Scissors for Lefty, and tons of other great musical artists all crammed into Club Six, there will hardly be room for you and me! We'll just have to get there early, and stay late. Some of the other cutting-edge and established performers and artists include Erase Errata, Numbers, Yikes! (with John Dwyer of The Coachwhips), Radio Active, Sellassie, DJ Doc Fu, DJ Omar and Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist.

Hot Chip & Bobby Birdman
If you want to get something really new into your musical diet, how about some live electro and mixed beats from one of the hottest acts around? Hot Chip's first album was good, but by all accounts, their new release The Warning is kickass. This British electro outfit are making international waves with their mix of indie-flavored songwriting technique with hip-hop beats and lots of synthesizers. Tonight you can catch them at The Independent along with electro crooner Bobby Birdman. But get your ticket now, because they're going fast! Date: Tue. 8/1, Time: 8:30pm, Place: The Independent, Cover: $15, More Info. (JH)

The Pajama Party
What is it about the innocent pajama parties thrown by precocious co-eds that always seems to attract the uwanted attentions of mask-wearing, often chainsaw-wielding undead maniacs, and why do we love them? No, it's not the intro to today's edition of Montel or Jerry Springer, but it is the premise behind one of the funnest fright night parties this side of halloween. A naughty night of burlesque, free jello shots, costume contests and live music awaits those daring enough to attend this pajama jam! Live acts include the Devilettes, Paper Dolls, and the Scenic Sisters. And if the scary movies aren't enough to put a shiver down your spine, the sneak preview of Space's new zombie art exhibit Brains just might. Date: Thu. 8/3, Time: 9pm, Place: Space Gallery (1141 Polk St.), Cover: $10, More Info. (SG)
