  • Hiking Yoga

    Every Mon., Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. - Eric Kipp may be brilliant. Without a doubt, the spirit of San Francisco itself pulses quickly in his veins, because he is the creator of Hiking Yoga. It's exactly what it sounds like; you follow the charge up one of our butt-bustin' hills, and once you're up there, the organizer/sherpas hand...

  • Animal Attraction

    Daily - In ancient Rome, the god of fertility was honored in February, with ceremonial love lotteries and mock-floggings with a bloody goatskin. Even those are a pale reflection of truly bizarre courtships that unfold in the natural world. For example, the common garden snail is a hermaphrodite that carries...

  • Audium 9

    8:30 p.m. every Fri., Sat. - The Audium was started in 1965 by composer Stan Shaff and equipment designer Doug McEachern.

  • San Francisco City Guides Walking Tours

    Daily - As a self-described "logical extension of a free public library," our local free walking-tour company is, like most libraries, a fascinating mash of nerdy and white-hot rad. The San Francisco City Guides walking tours happen every day (except major holidays), are free, and follow in the foots...

  • California Academy of Sciences Free Day

    June 2 - Do yourself a favor: Today is the California Academy of Sciences Free Day. Emphasis on day -- perfect for the funderemployed, who more than anyone deserve a day of brain-melting beauty. So ditch the gray pounding and run-run-run pace of the city, in favor of the 4-story rainforest exhibit, to...

  • The Erotic Reading Circle

    7:30 p.m. fourth Wed. of every month - Finding your voice as a writer is hard. Finding your voice as an erotic writer is all but impossible. In one direction is "awkward and clinical." In another is "Anne Rice." And there's literally hundreds of others that result in the rough equivalent of "I have a headache." Further complicating matte...

  • Go Deep!: Let's Wrestle

    8:00 p.m. first Thu. of every month - Mud wrestling is so over. It's like Dynasty or that mechanical-bull thing that John Travolta made famous about 50 years ago in Oklahoma or Kansas or wherever that movie was. Here in sexy San Francisco -- in the enlightened 21st century -- we have lube wrestling, namely Go Deep: Let'...

  • Writers with Drinks

    7:30 p.m. second Sat. of every month - When you move to San Francisco and ask about the literary scene, Writers With Drinks is likely the first thing people tell you about. For one thing, most of us can get behind drinking as a social activity, especially when it’s being done by the witty and verbose. But the real reason is ...

  • Aquatic Park Bathhouse Building Tour

    3:00 p.m. daily - Politicians and news outlets have started using the term "WPA" again — have you noticed?

On Wednesdays, it celebrate the launch of a new and expanded publishing arm, called Two Lines Press, with the rel...

  • Boris: From the Past, The Present, and Through to the Future (performing Flood)

    8:00 p.m. May 22 - Formed in the early '90s, when guitarist Wata, bassist/guitarist Takeshi, and drummer Atsuo met while attending a Tokyo art school, the Japanese experimentalists in Boris have traveled a bewildering path from their early roots as drone/doom merchants. Ear...

  • Shaping Sound

    8:00 p.m. May 22 - In 2012, the Oxygen network premiered the reality show All the Right Moves.

Would ...

  • Drop-in Family Ceramics Workshop

    10:15 a.m. every Sat. - Many of us remember coming home from our elementary schools with freshly glazed pinchpots, cups, or whatever else our young imaginations could conjure up.

  • WTF: Women's, Trans/Genderqueer, and Femmes' Night

    6:00 p.m. second Fri. of every month - In the name of Miriam Bengoetxea, Basque bike engineer (of Orbea Orca fame), we command you to attend WTF: the Women, Transgenderqueer, and Femme bike-fix night! Bengoetxea is one of the only women in the world designing carbon-fiber bicycle frames, partly because she's had the support of the...

  • 16th and Mission Poetry Slam

    9:00 p.m. every Thu. - Sometimes, we need a little bit more than just poetry and music. Sometimes we have the urge to witness a wild-eyed man with one sweater sleeve missing shove pieces of paper into a coconut and then set it on fire - all while someone yells about why bird porn is a serious issue. The 16th & Mission Poe...

  • Sunday Open Gyms

    Every Sun. - Large American cities during the industrial age had amateur baseball leagues made up of blue-collar workers who created their own little societies unseen by the general populace. Men formed their teams — representing factories, power plants, and other facilities — developed rivalries, and ...

  • Raw SF

    7:00 p.m. May 24 - Sure, standing around in the stairwell of 49 Geary drinking champagne during its First Thursday gallery openings can be fun. But it's not a great way to see the best artwork this city can offer (unless you view getting trampled as a form of crowd-sourced, contemporary performance art). Switch your b...

  • San Francisco Sex Worker Film & Arts Festival 2013

    May 20 - May sure is a busy time. School is ending, it’s Masturbation Month, and from May 18-26, the Sex Worker Film and Arts Festival is once again out to show San Francisco a good time. Started in 1999 as a forum for sex workers — including prostitutes, porn performers, exotic dancers, a...

  • Meow Mix

    11:00 p.m. every Tue. - We like our gay bars like we like our women — rough around the edges and with as little cover as possible. With its bordello-esque atmosphere and cheap drinks, it's no surprise that The Stud, one of the city's oldest gay bars, still reigns supreme. Sure, it can be a little cramped, and there a...

  • Humpday Happy Hour Workshop

    6:30 p.m. every Wed. - Not everyone is comfortable talking about sex. In fact, just hearing the word in public is enough to make some people uneasy, even here in liberal San Francisco.

  • The Dream Queens Revue

    9:30 p.m. fourth Wed. of every month - In a city that prides itself (see what we did there?) on having one of the most prominent and active LGBT communities in the world, how do you determine the best place to see a drag show? By going to the place with the most glitter! Described by one Yelp reviewer as "a slightly skeezy gay bar from t...

  • Family Kayak Trip

    11:00 a.m. every Sat., Sun. - If Hollywood ever tries its hand at Escape from San Francisco, we hope there are kayaks involved. There just aren’t enough kayaks in action films, you know? We imagine the little boats riding a tsunami, hurtling toward the bad guys who have taken Coit Tower hostage, somehow managing to d...
