Future-themed dodgeball party tonight

I guess World Dodgeball Society SF does this thing every week! Here’s the deal on this week’s:

Open Gym Power Power Hour Plus! Yes, we are gonna shoot for the early start time again. Co-ed, No-Sting dodgeball played to the best/worst jams from 8:30-10! Great way to sweat out all those leftover toxins from your weekend or just an excuse to wear short shorts.

Thanks to all of you who unearthed your fav dead presidents last week, but this week it’s all about the future. Please interpret liberally. We will be hitting a new watering holes this Monday (post).

Spread the word! $5 to play.

Or free, if you ask for the American Tripps discount, apparently :)

RSVP and invite your friends!

Tonight at Noise Pop: Matthew Dear, plus a movie about the guy from that band Morphine

Firstly, Matthew Dear rules. Just listen to this song — probably one of the best of all time:

And I can attest to that his live show is great too. Just gothy enough without being annoying. Danceable music made by a live band with a stoic but incredibly charismatic frontman. Kind of David Bowie-like maybe? And it’s not sold out yet! Tickets and info here.

Secondly, there’s also a movie on tonight that looks pretty good, about the life and times of Mark Sandman, the deceased frontman from Morphine, that band with the saxophone-driven mid-’90s hit “Honey White” that we all saw on MTV a million times. Here’s the trailer:

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
