CAPSULE
Design Fest
Get
into Fall fashion the San Francisco way by checking out the biannual CAPSULE
Design Festival, which hosts over 140 clothing and accessory designers,
graphic and fine artists, industrial and architectural designers, and
others in Hayes Valley. This fest marks the sixth round of this unique
SF event and, as always, it will reflect the fresh and funky style
the Bay Area is known for. Originality is ensured, as each entrant
is “screened for originality and relevancy before being invited
to participate” (which is a feat considering 240 new designers
have signed up with CAPSULE since the last festival). So come on down
and Fall into fashion! Date: Sunday 10/14, Time:
11am-6pm, Place: Hayes Valley Park, Octavia and Hayes
Streets, Cover: no cover, More
Info. (EK)

Oktoberfest by the Bay
Raise your mugs and click your clogs: it’s Oktoberfest by the Bay,
a four-day beer/music/dance/food extravaganza held in the spirit of Munich’s famed
festival of the same name. From the delicious German food (bratwurst!) to the
beer (Spaten!) to the music (famed Chico Bavarian Band!) to the dancing (Nature
Friends Schuhplattler), there were never so many good reasons to get over to Fort Mason. Before you go, a
word of warning to the uninitiated: there may be – nay, there will be – men in
short shorts and weird embroidered suspenders. They’re called
lederhosen. Learn to love them. Date: Thursday 10/11 – Sunday
1/14, Time: varies, check schedule, Place: Fort Mason, Cover: $20/day, More Info. (EK)

Lit Crawl
Love books? Love drinking? Wish you could
combine both more often? Then it’s high time you tried the Litquake pub crawl,
a rambling, raucous three-hour tour of the Mission that takes you “from bars
and cafes to galleries, laundromats, and even a few bookstores” to see more than
200 authors (and, hopefully, just as many beers). You’ll hear people speak on
everything from “food & drugs” to “doorways of perception” – and you can
feel free to jump on or off the Lit Crawl at any time, as the tour has many scheduled
stops. Get in the true spirit of San Francisco
by raising a pint to literature. Date: Saturday 10/13, Time: 6-9pm, Place: the Mission, Cover: no cover, More Info. (EK)

Venue: 222 Club
DJs: Travis Dalton, Kenneth Scott
Music: minimal techno
Cover: no cover |
You will definitely feel the burn after a double-time workout with this DJ tag team effort from SubCulture/On!Science's Travis Dalton and Kenneth Scott. Digital devices will go through loops for these guys as they churn out deep house and minimal techno, Bay Area-style! While Dalton is definitely more US-downtempo-meets-minimal, Scott enjoys long Berlin-esque walks with his glitchy, fuzzy techno tones. Together they make one electronically melodic DJ duo! (KS) |

Here's
a little music lesson for us all: dnb, jungle, trance and 2step
are all derivatives of dub style, a sound originating out of Jamaica.
Instead of playing one of those offshoots, Ras
Kush and Black Redemption Sound have made it their business
to present dub in its true and original form, allowing audiences
to experience the genre as it was meant to be. Even better? Ras
Kush is bringing it to Club
Six so you to can also experience it. (CQ) |

week of music. The line-ups this weekend in SF are sick, but
make sure to save some gas for Mr.

Put
some funk in my trance and some progressive in my house (or vice

#2 DJ for the 2006 Nitevibe's Dreamteam, made him a 14-year player
and two-year resident at 1015, and makes him an international contender.
Also on hand is fellow Dreamteamer Dirtyhert,
who by remixing downtempo to dance definitely makes sound float
like a butterfly and sting like a bee! (KS) |
