The Walt Disney Family Museum Fifth Anniversary Recommended

When: Wed., Oct. 1, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. 2014
Price: $10-$20

Hey Mickey!

In the 1920s, audiences were shocked to see a little mouse that could whistle, drive a boat, and outsmart a giant cat named Big Bad Pete — all to cutting-edge synchronized sound. Since the creation of Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse and his creator Walt Disney have been synonymous with the pairing of advanced animation techniques and heartwarming stories. Disney created some of the most recognized figures of all time, several thriving theme parks, and even a private university. For the past five years, nestled in San Francisco's gorgeous Presidio, The Walt Disney Family Museum has paid homage to Disney's legacy in its permanent home — complete with several interactive galleries, theaters, and rotating exhibitions. Now, to celebrate its Fifth Anniversary of entertaining both children and adults alike, the museum will open up all of its galleries, playing rare footage and animated shorts. Kids can hang out in the Learning Center, while patrons can enjoy drinks and food from the provided food trucks.

  • 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.'"
