Even if you're not a hard-core resolutionist, the new year is the perfect time to get off the couch and get out more. And we've already done the event-hunting legwork for you, thanks to the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco's fab lineup of creative movers and shakers. Seeing these icons live will put your late-night Netflix habit to shame—we promise.
Get your #ThrowbackThursday on with a trio of rockers who hail from the late '70s and early '80s. Marky Ramone, the Ramones’ only surviving member, will regale you with the guts and glory behind the legendary punk band. While Sonic Youth co-founder and Girl in a Band author Kim Gordon gives you a peek into her can't-stop/won't-stop life and career. Songwriter and performer Suzanne Vega will also be on hand to rock your world, accompanied by master guitarist Gerry Leonard.
Movie buffs will flock to see the classic sci-fi flick Woman in the Moon, accompanied live by Detroit techno legend Jeff Mills' new soundtrack score. After the screening, stay for a talk on space, time, and the origins of the sound by the music man himself.
For bibliophiles, author and creator Neil Gaiman will appear in conversation with Bay Area author Michael Chabon. Gaiman's award-winning works include The Ocean at the End of the Lane, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Coraline, and The Sandman series.
The JCCSF hasn't forgotten Bay Area fashionistas—direct from the Brooklyn Museum’s exhibition, curator Lisa Small will present history, images, and film of iconic Killer Heels throughout time. Slip into your best stilettos and see which styles made the cut.
