ART:  There will be a surrealist exhibition and a showing of recent 
work at the Palace of the Legion of Honor.

MUSIC:  Aquarius Records on Valencia and Amoeba Music on Haight will 
help empty the wallet.  23filve.org might have some sound events 
during that time as well, but look to the web site for that.  The 
wave organ down along the Marina Green makes a rather nice noise as 
do many things at the nearby Exploratorium, and Audium on Bush is 
worth a visit for its unique listening environment.

FOOD:  The endless list, beginning perhaps with burritos at Can-Cun 
Tacqueria (Market or Mission), bun saday at San Sun (Stockton), roti 
at Tracy Garden (Judah), curry at Pakwan (Valencia), noodles at Osha 
(Geary), shui gao wonton at D&A (Clement), beers and spetzle at 
Suppenkuche (Hayes), ramen at Katanaya (Judah), dim sum at Yet Wah 
(Clement), sushi at Monkichi (California), breakfast at Home Plate 
(Lombard), pho at Golden Flower (Jackson), and of course tolsot 
bibimbap at Korea House (Post).

OTHER:  Rent a bicycle and ride through Golden Gate Park out to the 
ocean.  Whatever you do, avoid driving; SF is a walking city, and I 
find the experience of driving five minutes only to circle for twenty 
in search of parking one of the most unpleasant here.  Rather than 
getting stuck in traffic, try a bus pass; you will not start to be 
sick of MUNI until you are near the end of your trip.  When crossing 
the street, do look out for the giant SUVs driven by cellphone 
callers; these do not feature turn signals, transparent windshields, 
or brake pedals.
