CRISTALETTE'S ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
From Cristalette's MySpace: "Cristalette is a one-woman show--a woman with a sewing machine and a laptop! Everything that comes out of my studio or
has my name on it was made with my hands. I use fabrics and notions that I find at thrift stores, flea markets, garage sales- much of my fabrics are
donated. I try to recycle as much as possible. I make casual dresses and tops for boutiques. I make spandex outfits for street and stage. I repair
old ripped up jeans. I say "yes" to almost any project that involves women, fashion, fun, friends, parties, photos, gays, shopaholics and positive
freaks!!" Come celebrate a year of this crafty gal's work with music from Hot Tub, a bunch of great DJs like Primo, members of Gravy Train...and many
more! 9pm, $5 cover. Those wearing Cristalette get in FREE, and there will be limited edition Cristalette t-shirts for sale at the door!
November 30 @ Deco Lounge, 510 Larkin at Turk
THE LEMONHEADS
Talk about getting back to your roots. For the Lemonheads' newest release on Vagrant Records, Evan Dando convened two of his early influences--the
unholy duo of drummer Bill Stevenson (Descendents, Black Flag) and bassist Karl Alvarez (Descendents)--in a remote Rocky Mountain hideaway. And it
was there, off and on over eighteen months, that they kicked out the first Lemonheads' album in ten years. According to Dando, it's "louder, faster,
more like Buzzcocks pop-punk--and way less introspective." Appearing with Racoon, and the New Rivals. $22 advance, $25 door. Show at 9pm, doors open
at 8pm.
November 30 @ Slim's, 333 11th St and Folsom

Three programs of true art that transcends time! Experience the winter presentation of one of San Francisco's most popular film festivals. PROGRAM
ONE: VITAPHONE VAUDEVILLE - The Vitaphone Corporation started a revolution with the introduction of its unique sound-on-disc system, and in just four
years they made almost 2,000 talkies, many of which are an invaluable record of classic Vaudeville at its sensational best. PROGRAM TWO: INTOLERANCE -
D.W. Griffith's monumental depiction of mankind's inhumanity across the ages is one of the towering achievements in all of cinema. PROGRAM THREE:
FLESH AND THE DEVIL - When Louis B. Mayer first paired Greta Garbo with John Gilbert for this adaptation of Herman Sudermann's novel The Undying
Past, he had no idea that he was about to start a five-alarm fire. Garbo and Gilbert immediately fell for each other on the set, and their passion is
so palpable they burn up the screen.
