It's midweek. Do you know what your plans are?


SF Jazz Summerfest
Levi's Plaza
1255 Battery St., San Francisco
12pm - 1:30pm

The polyrhythmic heat and funk of Evie Ladin’s clawhammer banjo, resonant voice, real stories and rhythmic dance have been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Celtic Connections, Lincoln Center to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Ladin and her band Evil Diane in live performance is a demonstrative, delightfully gorgeous storm.


Poetry Slam
Starry Plough
3101 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley
8pm - 11pm

This is no ordinary, ho-hum open mic! Just ask our audiences – we draw 100-250 people every week to our show! In addition to the finest spoken word features around, our vibrant poetry scene spawns some of the best local talent in the nation! At every show, we also host a live improvisational band or DJ!

We have an open sign up (poets: get there at 7:30 to vie for the first 7 guaranteed slots, the remaining 8 poets are picked by lottery) at most shows – just check out the calendar (sometimes we host an invitational slam).


Free Jazz Party w/ Sushi
Yoshi's San Francisco
1330 Fillmore St., San Francisco
9pm - 12am

Funcheap is helping Yoshi's kick off its brand new free Wednesday night weekly jazz party on October 12th with a special free night of live jazz, drink specials, a free sushi tasting station and lots of ticket giveaways.
