Robo.to Launches, Justin Timberlake in Tow

Later that evening, Hollywood and Silicon Valley continued their flirtation as SF-based startup Particle hosted its own launch party for Robo.to, a short-form, video status messaging service Justin Timberlake invests in. Yep, the same pop/movie star who happens to be currently playing the role of one of Facebook's founders in a film dubbed "The Social Network" has staked his claim in the digital world.

In true form, the exclusive Silicon Valley affair attracted the cewebrities (sorry) including the internet's own Justin - Justin Kan of life-streaming startup Justin.tv - to join in the celebration.

And it wouldn't be an SF party without costumes, so naturally there was a good stash of bunny ears and fake gold chains for us to don and make stop motion videos with -- a comforting reminder that our city won't ever get tired of playing dress up, even if the outfit is Hollywood.

  • 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.'"
