Day of the Dead
Skeletons don't have to be scary! Take the opportunity to create altars in honor of ancestors, loved ones, and friends that have passed away, or pay your respects in your own peaceful way with the camaraderie of the local community beside you at the annual Dia de Los Muertos festival. Five local artists have been commissioned to build a large scale altar installation on which you are invited to place flowers, photos, mementos, and food and drink in celebration of the lives of those now gone. This is an artful community celebration honoring both death and the cycle of life and Dia de los Muertos is an annual Meso-American holiday dedicated to our ancestors and loved ones now gone, a spirit very similar to that found at Burning Man's annual temple burn. The Day of the Dead is celebrated by creating sacred space with art installations, performances and a walking procession which help us contemplate our personal existence, mortality and celebration of life. Date: Thursday 11/2, Time: 7-8:30pm, Place: Corner of 24th & Bryant, Cover: no cover, linkMore Info. (DKD)

Icer Air 2006
When the weatherman states that there will be snow in San Francisco this Saturday, simply shrugging the forecast off as far-fetched will prove a major mistake. 200 tons of snow, in fact, will be dumped into AT&T Park, and along a 100 ft high ramp, many a world-class skier and snowboarder will fly, making Icer Air one of the most outrageous events in SF this year. Jurassic 5, the five man hip-hop crew that includes turntable tricksters DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist and is known for their innovative lyrics and positive flow, will provide the heat this event's spectators may be missing. The UK's Ladytron will also perform, invading the stands with a style of electronica all their own, but complete with live guitar and drums. Don't miss this day of snow in the city. Date: Saturday 11/4, Time: 10am-8pm, Place: AT&T Park, 24 Willie Mays Plaza, Cover: $10 General Admission - $48 Club Level, linkMore Info (DKD)

Men's Clothing Swap
Sometimes it seems like girls get all the breaks-- great hair, great shoes, great clothes… but not in San Francisco! This is an equal-opportunity city, the kind of place where a man can look his best without being called any nasty names. Hence the first-ever all-men's fashion clothing swap, this Saturday at the Cafe. Go on, dig through your closet for those too-short pants, the shirt that's just a little too tight… then watch someone else walk the runway in them as part of an instant fashion show! Who knows what you'll be bringing home this weekend… but you're guaranteed to like it. Date: Saturday 11/4, Time: 12-4pm, Place: The Café, 2367 Market St. & Castro, Cover: $10 presale, $15 door, linkMore Info (JH)
