Join us for an evening with Lee Bruno, author of Panorama, who, in his new book, explores nearly a century of San Francisco’s waterfront history, ranging from the Gold Rush to the Jazz Age. Hear the tales of enterprising entrepreneurs; reckless financiers; tireless reformers; visionary architects and city planners; and bohemian artists, musicians, and poets who all heeded the call of promise – creating the institutions, corporations, and cultural fabric of this great city.

  • 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.'"
