Mark your calendars: May 16-20

Good god, I just saw what's all going on the weekend of the 16th-20th (what, your weekends don't start on Wednesdays?). I was reading the Guardian on the bus and then had a couple e-mails in my inbox. Thought I'd share.

The SF International Arts Festival will start the 16th with the Zachho Dance Theater doing a free dance/installation off the top of the roof of SFO. Note that it's starting about one week after the SF International Film Festival ends, which is currently going on.

My favorite beatboxer, Kid Beyond, will open up for the New Deal at the Independent on the 17th (note: the New Deal's playing 2 nights at the Independent and only one night with Kid B opening up).

I'm pretty excited that Cantina is finally going to open over in the Tenderloin at Sutter and Mason. Cantina's the brainchild of the former bar manager at Frisson. He's doing a soft launch starting the weekend of the 18th (the official opening will likely come a couple weeks later). Here's a sample of their drinks menu.

O'Reilly's is hosting it's 8th annual "Oysters & Beer Festival" featuring, um, oysters and, uh, beer on Saturday the 19th. Also some music (of the Flogging Molly and Tea Leaf Green variety).

In addition, that Sunday is Bay to Breakers.
