Tamales, antennas, a guilty thief and an angry Chewbacca - it's a stranger mix than usual in this week's leftovers.
Tonight at Edo Salon (601 Haight), it's the opening reception for new works by Lower Haighter Kelly Nicolaisen. From 7pm to 10pm, enjoy beer, wine and music while perusing Nicolaisen's photography. The show will be on display through December 2nd.
Also tonight, D-Structure hosts the opening of The Deathside, new works by artist Nick Beery. The show is billed as "a dark tribute to Star Wars, pop culture, underground evil and a deathly farewell to the repetitious mutations of fan art." Expect pieces like this here decomposing Yoda:

Maven, meanwhile, is looking to stretch those hours a bit, starting as early as 10:30am and as late as 1:45am on weekends. It's public comment time, so if you have any feelings on the matter, you've got about 2 weeks to weigh in with the folks over at ABC - 415-356-6500.
Do you like tamales? Sure you do. Stop by 735 Page Street on Sunday for some Twisted Tamales, a new venture from Lower Haighter Troy Henry. On the menu will be homemade creations including:
Finally, our favorite gem from this week's e-mailbag:

Finally, our favorite gem from this week's e-mailbag:
"I was intoxicated and took a blue pot with a ground cover from Waller, b/w Steiner and Fillmore. Oops. I feel bad... Is there a place to post a question to see if someone can tell me where I can bring it back to?"If that sounds like your blue pot, let us know.
