SPE Magazine Launch Party
SPE stands for Slightly Pointed East which is the direction of all witty, hip, creative and fashionable things right? You can decide this Thursday as this new mini-mag celebrates issue #s 1-3. The book covers all areas of pop and street culture from film & music to fashion & art. If the writing is nearly as cool as the graphic design I'd say we have a winner on our hands. Check out the scene and hear live jazz from the specialists at Bruno's jazz club, then head upstairs in the Green Room for a downtempo and hip-hop DJ session. Date: Thursday 1/22, Time: 9pm-1am, Place: Bruno's 20the and Mission, Cover: TBA, More Info (JP)

Sublounge Presents
Through mixing the mediums of artistic expression, this Tuesday's event far transcends the typical art show or tired weekly night down at the local boozer. We adore Sublounge for their magical mix of djs, dancing, and drinks, but their showcase of visual artists Attaboy, Dodd, Chris Fabbri, and Shawn O., makes this an action-packed event you don't want to miss. It's a great way to catch the truly original, really contemporary works of these artists on their way to the top, and with performances by rock/triphop/indie spinner Justin Walsh, his many guests, and the funky, jazzy Esophaguys, you'll cry mercy way before they kick you out at midnight. Works by Fabbri, elected "best seller" on PaintingsDirect.com, shouldn't be overlooked, and you have to see Attaboy's Axtrx before her replications appear in every hipster's household. Date: Tues. 1/20 Time: 7pm 'till midnight Place: Sublounge 628 20th/off 3rd Cover: Free, More Info (DK)

Roe v. Wade - March and Rally
It's been 31 years since the historic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalized abortion. In those 31 years, not a year has passed that some court somewhere in the United States has not heard a case either trying to further the scope of the decision or to reverse the decision in some way. No matter how you feel about it, it is one of the most controversial and influential court decisions of our time. On Thursday, advocates for reproductive rights, will stage a rally and a march starting at the Powell St. Bart Station and ending at the Civic Center. This event is sponsored by the local chapters of NOW, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, National Women's Political Caucus, Law Students for Choice, and Code Pink. So women, and men (whom I'm sure will be in the minority but should have their voices heard too) bring your signs and banners and get ready for a good old-fashioned debate, as the counter-argument groups will surely attend. If your interested in volunteering email. Date: 1/22, Time: 5pm @ Powell, or 6:30pm at Civic Center, Place: From Powell and Market to Civic Center, Cover: Free (DD)
