When the ancient Polynesians invented surfing, they often used a paddle to help them navigate. Fast-forward a few millennia, and Stand-Up Paddleboarding, or SUP, finds itself trendy again. Part of its increasing popularity is that standing upright allows surfers to spot waves more easily and thus catch more of them, multiplying the fun factor. Paddling back to the wave becomes less of a strain as well. The ability to cruise along on flat inland water, surveying the sights, is another advantage. Finally, it’s a good core workout. If you’re sold on the idea, schedule an intro SUP lesson, free with board and paddle rental, and you may find yourself riding the waves like a Polynesian king.More
Many of us remember coming home from our elementary schools with freshly glazed pinchpots, cups, or whatever else our young imaginations could conjure up. Saturday mornings at the Randall Museum can bring that memory back, or create a new one for the youngsters. Ceramics make great gifts — especially on Mothers' and Fathers' Day. Hop on board for the Randall's once-weekly class, and for $6 and two weeks to have your work fired and glazed, you'll have all the materials you need.More
December is almost over - the New Year is coming up and everyone is busy drying off from the rain or holiday shopping. Let's take a look at what's happened this month.
We've all had that day: the one where you accidentally hit "Reply All" on an email intended for one or get rear-ended as you're backing out of the veterinary clinic where you've just spent your life savings to find out that the results on your cat's blood work are "inconclusive."

3. He Was in the Best Episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Ever
We still can't believe he did this. But in what was ultimately the greatest episode of Aqua Teen Hungerforce ever, Danzig bought Carl's house, ran blood through the sprinklers on his front lawn, and got pissy when his robot ran across the street to get away from him. It was dry and hilarious and awesome. And yes, it really was him providing the voice. It's also proof that, under the right circumstances, Mr. Danzig can and will laugh at himself. It's rare alright, but it does happen!
4. Duh! The Misfits!
Do you have any idea how crazy, weird and exciting The Misfts were back in the day? I mean, think about it. Can you imagine stumbling across these guys for the first time? "Oh look at these ass-hats in their make-up, flexing their muscles... But wait! This is totally punk rock and exciting! With, like, evil Elvis on vocals! I have no idea what to do with myself! Circle pit anyone?" Find us someone who doesn't like The Misfits and we'll point at a liar. Let us never forget how amazing this band was when Danzig was behind the microphone.
5. The Best Giants Logo EVER
We know that technically this thing was created long, long after Danzig was out of the band, but still... every time we wear it, we think of a wonderful combination of relief pitcher weirdo Brian Wilson and Glenn Danzig. We like to think that, one day, those two will get together, do lunch, and have long discussions about philosophy and being misunderstood by the world...
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.'"
