It’s Friday, and we’ve got another weekend of great weather ahead for us in San Francisco. If you’re looking for a few things to add to your calendar this weekend, we’ve got a few suggestions for you. (Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead an hour before you go to bed Saturday night, or else you’ll be getting up to a late start Sunday morning.)
Friday, March 6th
Magnet Art Opening
Terry Furry’s ‘Martyrs and Myths' large scale paintings and sculpture assemblage "examines the powerful archetype, exploring the embodiment of strength and infallibility and how it often conceals a reality of fragility, isolation and sensitivity." (Magnet, 4122 18th St., 8-10pm, Free)
Midnites For Maniacs at the Castro Theater
Academy of Art University Film History teacher Jesse Hawthorne Ficks hosts ‘Midnites For Maniacs’ tonight. At this month’s ‘Feed Me’ double feature, catch Frank Oz’s adaptation of the Broadway Musical ‘Little Shop Of Horrors: Director’s Cut’ starring Rick Moranis with a new special 23-minute ending that promises to be a whole lot darker.
