Yuri's Night
Most of us were born too late to witness the heady days of the space race, but space remains the final frontier and has a magic that will long outlive its first human explorers. Yuri's night, in honor of Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's inaugural space flight in 1961, reconnects us with the past while shedding light on the incredible possibilities and sense of wonder than only outer space can provide. Technology, science, history, art, and mind-blowing sound come together under the massive roof of NASA's Hangar 211 at Moffett Field. A familiar vibe of underground sights and sounds will come courtesy of the Unimog, the Glitch Mob, special guests Plaid with Bob Jaroc, Telefon Tel Aviv, Bluetech, Rabbit in the Moon, as well as some seriously cool technological wonders and feats that are sure to surprise even the most jaded interactive junkie. Toss in a few actual astronauts and all your best friends, and you've got yourself one hell of a party that's truly a step into the future. Date: Fri 4/13, Time: 6:30pm - late, Place: NASA Ames Hangar 211 (Moffett Field, Mountain View), Cover: $25-$40 presale, More Info. (SG)

hi/lo Film Festival
If you've ever hated a Hollywood blockbuster (hello every single person in the world), then the hi/lo Film Festival is the answer to the question you didn't know how to ask. As hi/lo explains: "$40 million can kill a good idea. Not only that, it can torture a good idea's family and key its car." Going on this premise, all films are "high in concept and low in budget" (as well as short in length). The result is a roster that ranges from the sweet to the surreal, with everything in between. Amar, a Spanish film about two lovers who exchange sexual identities, shares billing with Sideshow, an animated foray into the mind of a retired clown. The festival also serves up shorts about drama pirates from the future, bathroom etiquette, and Robert Oppenheimer. Date: Thurs 4/12 - Sun 4/15, Time: varies, check schedule, Place: Brava Theater Center and Parkway Theater, Cover: $8-9, festival pass $20, More Info. (EK)
