Go Giants!

How bout this? We’ve seen local boy Ty Segall (pictured) perform at the Eagle, the Knockout, El Rio, Thee Parkside, 12 Galaxies, the steps of City Hall, the Great American Music Hall, Brick & Mortar Music Hall, and Treasure Island — and now he’s apparently going to headline the Fillmore, the biggest venue in the entire universe. Good work, Ty!

Tickets go on sale this Sunday right here.

This evening the finest synth wavey dance night in the Mission celebrates some of the Bay’s most excellent live electronic music acts. In particular, Ssleeping DesiresS and Black Jeans will be performing live tracks in celebration of the release of the new Bay Area themed Sweating Tapes cassette compilation. Doors open at 10 p.m. at the always awesome Submission space at 2183 Mission St (cross is 18th).

SF Gate has the scoop:

How do you celebrate when you’ve just hit three home runs in a World Series game? You head to the Mission to your favorite restaurant and convince the owner to open up for you, even though the kitchen was already closed.

Pablo Sandoval, his older brother (and uncanny look-alike) Michael and a few friends went straight from AT&T Park to Limon, the Peruvian restaurant on Valencia, on Wednesday night. The restaurant closes at 10, and Sandoval wasn’t finished with his postgame demands until well after 9:30. But being a star slugger has its perks.

“You have to open up after he homers three times,” said owner and chef Martin Castillo. “He’s a great customer. We always go the extra mile for him.”

(Thanks, TK!)

I guess that since Halloween falls on a Wednesday this year, most people seem to be doing their thing tomorrow rather than on the actual day.  While the acceptance of this may be debatable to hardcore Halloween purists, most of us simply benefit from having two Halloween opportunities to get weird!  And if you need ideas on how to get it started Saturday, embrace the darkness with Smithsfits at the Knockout–there’ll be a costume contest with a $100 prize, and special guest Gary War opens at 10pm!

Check out all the details, plus RSVP and invite your friend here!
