Burning Man 2006
If I need to tell you what Burning Man is, you haven't been in SF for very long. Basically, take 30,000 adventurous souls, a truly fantastic amount of creative energy, an incredible do-it-yourself vibe, cover them in dust and dump them in the sun-blasted Nevada desert, and Burning Man is what you get. It's an experiment in art, free expression, living on the edge, and a gifting society that lets us, for one week at least, become someone (or something) completely new. From massive fire-spewing art in the deep playa to Victorian high teas on an art car to dancing in the dust at one of the many sound camps, there are more things than one person could ever hope to imagine or experience there. So if you notice the city seeming a little low on its usual weirdness in the coming days, don't be alarmed. We'll be back; we're just going home for a week. Date: Mon 8/28 - Mon 9/4, Place: Black Rock City, Nevada, More Info. (SG)

One Night Stand
San Francisco is probably the most honest and open city in America when it comes to sex, and organizations like SFSI and the Center for Sex and Culture are a big reason why. The 9th Annual One Night Stand is put on by them in conjunction with the SF Artists' Resource Center as a celebration of all those things that your momma told you were naughty. Erotic and fetish art are the main focus, with a very accessible vibe throughout that would put even the most skittish midwest refugee at ease. Live music, photography sessions, nude modeling and more will be on display, and if you're feeling adventurous and want to put yourself on display a little, costumes are more than welcome. Date: Wed 8/23, Time: 5-9pm, Place: SOMArts (934 Brannan @ 9th), Cover: $10+ donation, More Info. (SG)

Film Night in the Park
Remember when going to the movies was fun, before Hollywood ran out of good ideas and it didn't cost $60 between tickets, popcorn, parking and drinks? Well SF is trying to bring some fun back to the cinema with Film Night In the Park. This Saturday at Dolores Park you can snuggle up under a blanket and provide your own refreshments as you take in a 100% free showing of Best In Show. This offbeat classic mockumentery takes a hilarious look at the insane pet owners who enter dog shows. It's a fun, inexpensive night out, and that's a rare thing these days. Date: Sat. 8/26, Time: 8pm, Place: Dolores Park, Cover: No Cover, More Info. (SG)
