Bohemian Carnival, the bombastic, iconoclastic, nationally acclaimed indie circus and music showcase, rises again Easter weekend following a two-year cryogenically suspended pseudo-burial. Featuring the best of local, regional and national talent, Bohemian Carnival carries on its 6-year tradition of immersive entertainment, saturating the senses with 5 hours of non-stop kaleidoscopic action, over 50 stunningly skilled beauties and barbarians, and as much decidedly adult flavorings as you can stuff into your soul. Indeed, for this resurrection, feast your eyes, ears, and whatnot on these fine, featured creatures:
J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science http://www.jboogie.com/
Vau de Vire Society http://www.vaudeviresociety.com/
SambaDrop http://www.sambadrop.com/
The Klown http://www.theklown.net/

PARASITES AMONG US
Imagine, if you will, a tiny creature with the ability to invade your body, hijack your cells, change your DNA, and modify you physically and behaviorally to suit its own devious goals. Sound like science fiction? Maybe, but it's also the modus operandi of the real-life parasitic organisms that live among, and inside, the rest of us animals. While some parasites, in their quest for survival and propagation, may live undetected in the bodies of their hosts, others can cause sickness or death. Some of the world's most pernicious and persistent diseases are caused by these supremely successful and sophisticated organisms. But according to evolutionary biologists, parasites have also played a significant role in shaping the human species — including why we use sex to reproduce. (Nice job, little friends!) Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Jim McKerrow returns to Ask a Scientist with more strange and wonderful tales of parasite biology. This event is presented in partnership with Wonderfest, The Bay Area Beacon of Science.
Speaker: Jim McKerrow, Director, Center for Discovery and Innovation in Parasitic Diseases
When: Tuesday, April 2, 7pm
Location: SoMa StrEat Food Park, 428 11th Street, San Francisco. (This awesome venue has a humongous, heated, indoor seating area.)

Whether to protect the planet, prevent animal abuse, or improve health, our food choices have enormous power. In this talk, we'll hear why so many people and companies are making a shift toward a more plant-based diet, and how they're doing it.
Shapiro has played an integral role in numerous successful legislative and corporate campaigns to improve the plight of farm animals.
Shapiro's work has helped enact farm animal protection laws in California, Arizona, Michigan, Maine, Colorado, Oregon, and Ohio. He's also worked with dozens of companies, including some of the world's top retailers, to improve animal welfare in their supply chains.

What really makes a plant-loving diet so healthy is the focus on whole food ingredients. The so called vegan "transition" foods are often loaded with unnecessary calories and lack many of the beneficial nutrients of whole, plant foods. In this cooking lesson, you'll learn how to make household favorites, without including plant-based meats, cheeses or butter. You'll also learn how to cook delicious plant-based desserts without using any extracted oils or sugars.

WEIRDI GRAS 14th annual How Weird Street Faire Sunday April 28, 2013 http://HowWeird.org
spectacle of amazing art, music, and movement as the greatest street faire in the galaxy takes over the streets of downtown San Francisco for a carnival of peace. There will be marching bands, acoustic bands, dance music stages, live art, unique vendors, and more parades than any street faire in the world. And you are invited to participate.
This year, the faire will be filled with Krewes, who will produce the many parades, bands, and stages. A Krewe is a group of 3 or more people united in a common mission with a common name. If you'd like to participate, send a description of your idea to krewes(at)howweird.org and we will send an application and instructions. The deadline for completed applications is January 25th.
Join us on Sunday April 28th as we usher in the San Francisco festival season with costumes, parades, marching bands, dancing, and much more at the greatest street faire in the galaxy: How Weird Street Faire: Weirdi Gras 2013.
Featuring sound stages by Symbiosis Events, Enchanted Forest, Muti Music, Opulent Temple, Opel Productions, Pink Mammoth, Psycircle, Pulse SF, Temple Nightclub and many more!

Poster by Robert Kidwell and Brad Olsen.
Want to have more fun at How Weird this year? Make your own parade!
This year, in honor of Mardi Gras, we are inviting people to form a Krewe and have a parade during the 14th annual How Weird Street Faire. In New Orleans, the month and a half long Mardi Gras celebration is filled with colorful parades of Krewes, each with its own theme and style. For How Weird this year, we hope to have more parades in one day than New Orleans has during their entire Mardi Gras season!
Everyone at How Weird this year is encouraged to march in parades. Organize one yourself, or join one that catches your attention at the faire. The parades will have their starting points mapped and scheduled, so they will be easy to find.
The How Weird parades will be produced by Krewes of 3 or more people who share a common name and theme. The parades will have no music, enabling them to weave in and out of the many music stages.
If you are interested in forming a Krewe, send an email with your idea and we will send you more information - krewes@HowWeird.org
The first parade is at 12:01 PM by the Mystic Krewe of Knowledge. They will start at the Howard and New Montgomery Street entrance and proceed to the Info Booth, where they will remain throughout the day answering all of your questions.

in 2012 I told y'all to chill the heck out cause in 2011 tix were face price on http://craigslist.org for 2 weeks before burn.
SURE enough same was true in 2012. IN FACT There were 20 or 30 SALE ads for every WANT ad. BAM!
CALM DOWN. later on BECAUSE:
These years folks are SCARED so they buy extra tickets in February hoping to go, or for friends to go.
Then as the event nears and they admit they can not go they release those extras.

Burning Man Infographic
http://xmasons.com/prints/burning-man-infographic
The history of Burning Man has always been a complex entity that has survived, nay, mutated over the years. And because of this, it has grown rapidly since its humble beginnings of a simple gathering on a beach.
The infographic poster shows only a small portion of what Burning Man is. By no means do mere numbers even begin to show a complete picture, as that is a history of stories, experiences, and individual tales.
I was recently interviewed by Jordan Salinger from the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association about this inforgraphic:
“For some it is a yearly spiritual revival providing an emotionally charged respite from reality; for others it simply means they are able to eat brunch without standing in line. The mark left by Burning Man on San Franciscans and this city is undoubtedly immense, but is hard to truly measure. The same can be said about the impact on Black Rock City, Burning Man’s yearly home, but this stunning infographic provides an all-encompassing perspective on the event.”
