If you're not all packed up and ready to head to the playa for Burning Man this weekend, here are some events going on around the neighborhood.

Looking for something fun to do with kids—that helps them improve their reading skills at the same time? Take them over to the Eureka Valley Branch Library for Puppy Dog Tales with Oliver. The SPCA will have a calm canine on hand to help connect with children as they practice their reading skills.

Tomorrow night, head on over to Spark Arts for Sisters Speak! An Intimate Evening With The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence: Sister Roma. Sister Roma is well known for her activism and advocacy, from the AIDS epidemic to Facebook's "real names" policy.

On Friday, the Rainbow Honor Walk, which recently announced 24 new honorees, will be raising a glass—and funds —in honor of LGBT heroes with One Night At Amelia's. The event will be held at the Elbo Room, which was previously the lesbian bar Amelia's from 1978-1991. Amelia's founder and owner, Rikki Streicher, is one of the newly selected Rainbow Walk honorees.

Peaches Christ's Showgirls! The Musical! has been extended through Saturday. Make sure you check out this live stage show at the Victoria Theatre before it's gone forever.

And on Tuesday evening, join Strut for their monthly book club. This month, they're reading Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man. Make sure you've read the book before you attend the discussion—which includes wine.
