Remember the 5th of November for the Museum of Performance & Design’s hottest party of the year. Celebrate Rock 'N' Roll will feature musical performances by seminal 1960s rock bands Quicksilver Messenger Service and Cold Blood. You'll rock the night away at this exciting evening with emcee Ben Fong-Torres (Rolling Stone magazine). The party is a celebration of the Museum's exhibition "Somethin's Happening Here: Bay Area Rock 'N' Roll 1963-1973." After the performance there will be a rock ‘N’ roll afterparty spun by DJ Aykut.

The party beat is filled with rock stars. And last week at The Old Mint, the joint was jumping with these empyreal personages. Both literal and metaphorical.

In honoring innovators of the '60s-era San Francisco Sound, The San Francisco Museum and Historical Society got its groove on at the annual Standing Ovations event which pays tribute to individuals whose work forged our city’s unique cultural scene.
