BIG WEEK: Margaret Cho, Bay Area Book Fest, Porch Fest, Brewfest, New Sam Wo... - 48 hills
A cabaret and clown performance called The Nectar runs at the Palace Theater in San Francisco with shows at 8pm and 10pm. The production draws on Weimar-era cabaret glamour and surreal clown mischief, combining dance, seductive burlesque, and a femme-powered narrative with absurdity and ritual. Aja Monet performs at The Chapel in San Francisco at 7pm, presenting The Color of Rain, a release that uses rain as an analogy for blending jazz, soul, hip-hop, Afropunk, and rhythm and blues for fighting and healing. The reopened Sam Wo Restaurant in San Francisco offers duck rice noodle rolls with mustard, plus suggestions like fish jook. Emeryville’s seasonal Lone Farmers Market returns.
"“Rooted in the shadowed glamour of Weimar-era cabaret and pulsing with the surreal mischief of clown, The Nectar brings together impeccable dance, seductive burlesque, and a femme-powered narrative threaded with absurdity and ritual. A wink to Fosse. A torn Erotica page. A brush with ABBA. A whisper of Dark Garden indulgence.”"
"“Sometimes in my dreams the women are free” got plastered on a barrier before her recent NYC engagement. Her new release, The Color of Rain, co-produced with Meshell Ndegeocello and Justin Brown, uses rain as an analogy for combining jazz, soul, hip-hop, Afropunk, and rhythm and blues as a salve, a means of fighting and healing all at once against this totalitarian moment in the world. The Color of Rain adopts surrealism as a weapon against fascism."
"I finally returned to the OG, which opened in 1908, and got the chance to learn how it tastes since it has been under new ownership for the past eight months. After one bite of the duck rice noodle rolls dunked in mustard, a dish ordered to go, it was a relief to know that it's still wonderful! I don't even normally like mustard of any kind-probably because they aren't Sam Wo mustard."
"Had I eaten in the restaurant, I would have definitely added a hot bowl of fish jook, a porridge served with a crispy Chinese donut, and enjoyed the full experience. 713 Clay Street, SF."
