"This year it's the weekday parade route on the sidewalk from the EMBARCADERO PLAZA thru the financial district with stops at the 'stations of stupid' for the time honored rituals and traditions so beloved by the people down at the bureau of rituals and traditions. Givin the annual sub text (there's a sub in every parade), that of giving homage to the business of religion and the religion of buisness,this year promises extra fun in the concrete canyons of greed and deceit. Stick the head of your favorite overpaid ceo on a stick (and the amount of his/her crime)....bring PINK SLIPS and EVICTION NOTICES for the HQs of the not so free market...print your own money for bail outs, pay offs and buy ins. Fun for all ages! Drums and other noise production devices encouraged. Attend at your own risk. Watch your step. Spread the word."

| THE HOMECOMING, by Nobel laureate Harold Pinter, concerns the return of Teddy, a professor of philosophy at an American college, to the North London house occupied by his father, uncle, brothers, all of whom operate on the fringes of working-class society, some distance from respectability. Teddy is accompanied by his wife Ruth who then finds herself at the center of a series of "Pinteresque" power-struggles. Reminiscent of the raw claustrophobic work of THE SOPRANO'S, language at its most visceral conveys what is unspoken. Off Broadway West Theatre Company was nominated for six San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critic Circle awards for this second season; their first season earned seven nominations and one win. NOTE: No one under 18 years old will be admitted. |

One of California’s most popular celebrations of Asian traditions, the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival marks its 42nd year. Each year, more than 200,000 people attend this dazzling display showcasing Japanese culture and the diversity of the Japanese American community. A festival held on two consecutive weekends in Japantown showcases traditional Japanese cuisine, cooking demonstrations, live music, folk dancing, martial arts demonstrations, taiko drumming, tea ceremonies, arts and crafts. The grand parade on Sunday, April 19 begins at 1pm at Civic Center and ends in Japantown at Post & Fillmore. Japanese classical (Buyo) and folk dance (Minyo) groups representing the Bay Area will perform throughout the parade route like a myriad of floating butterflies. World renowned San Francisco Taiko Dojo will keep the parade upbeat with the thundering sound of the taiko, and this year's Queen and her Court will cascade their way to Japantown. Anchoring the parade is the exciting Taru Mikoshi, that will be hoisted by over one hundred strong individuals from throughout the Bay Area. It is a spectacle not to be missed.

Ferries to Alcatraz leave from Pier 33

415-981-ROCK [415-981-7625] |
New docent tours of the Historic Gardens of Alcatraz are revealing the “softer side of ‘The Rock’” to those who visit the popular national park site. Held each Friday and Sunday at 9:30 a.m., the docent tours leave from the island’s dock area, so those interested must take the 9am boat from Pier 33. There is no additional charge once visitors are on the island. For those who can’t fit a docent tour into their visit, a self-guided walking tour of the gardens is described in a new brochure, which is available for free at the dock on Alcatraz. During the docent tour, visitors explore five garden areas inspired by the work of many early gardeners on The Rock. When the prison was closed in 1963, the gardens were abandoned. Nonetheless, nearly 200 species of shrubs, succulents, bulbs and perennials continued to survive in rocky soil with no fertilizers or supplemental water. Vintage images and historical records of the Alcatraz gardens from the mid-1800s through 1963 were carefully reviewed for the “Historic Gardens of Alcatraz” preservation project, which was spearheaded by the Garden Conservancy in partnership with the Golden Gate National Parks and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
