Hollywood is constantly on the lookout for the next great love story and Berkeley-based filmmaker Malachi Leopold may have found it buried beneath years of his own family's history.
It has long been suspected that the internet is run by a cabal of cats and their army of puppies, ducklings, and talented infants, but it lands on SF Weekly to let the curtain fall and expose the feline creatures to whom web writers are but marionettes.

Catharsis may occur.
Openly gay artist Frank Pietronigro will no doubt invite controversy with his newly installed exhibit at Johnston Gallery on Market Street in the Castro. Prominently seen on one side of the gallery's front window, and across the sidewalk outside, are words that have been used to degrade LGBT people.
