Still, we looked around us with some pleasure, knowing that more than the food is changing here. The Cliff House has been perpetually doomed to play the phoenix, rising again and again from its own ashes. It's about to rise again. The GGNRA has realized that its most popular man-made attraction has spent the last half-century decked out in clam-diggers, Cuban heels, and a beehive hairdo. The towering, elegant grande dame of the 1890s is gone forever, but the Cliff House renovation of our own fin de siecle may at least restore the old gal's dignity.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
