The Hotel Utah open mic is the epicenter of San Francisco's singer-songwriter community. Its stage attracts performers at all stages of their careers: from seasoned veterans to first-timers. It attracts music fans who know a good thing when they see it. The musicians who come regularly don't come just to get a little "stage time" - they come because of the community that calls Monday at The Utah home - and the musicians that come in for the first time eventually start to come regularly... So come on down this monday, have a beer, bring your guitar if that's your thing, and sit back and enjoy. Feature performer - COEXIST

Following in the footsteps of their now-legendary "Brainfreeze" (1999) and "Product Placement" (2001) sets, DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist have outdone themselves. Their new, all-45 show, entitled "The Hard Sell," incorporates eight turntables and two guitar loop pedals, allowing tricks and complexity rarely attempted by a DJ duo. As with the two previous sets, the pair eschew their own material in favor of an amalgam of music from all eras and styles, providing for amusing and provocative mash-ups; rap mixes with fiddle music, doo-wop with new wave, and everything in between... all while avoiding the obvious, "been there, heard that" stuff you get from most DJs.

2008 Global Social Venture Competition Social Entrepreneurship Symposium Saturday, April 19, 2008 Mission Bay Conference Center at UCSF San Francisco, CA EVENT OVERVIEW In conjunction with the Global Finals of the 2008 Global Social Venture Competition, the organizers of the GSVC at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business will present a public symposium on social entrepreneurship. The symposium will address the concept of social entrepreneurship in theory and as a practice that is generating an international movement of enterprise that drives social change. As GSVC expands and builds an increasingly international network of students, entrepreneurs, academics, investors, and social venture professionals, we see a growing need and opportunity to create dialog and community around the competition. The Symposium was born out of our desire to meet that need and leverage this opportunity. The 2008 symposium will provide a platform for dialog among leaders and students on the field of social entrepreneurship, as well as an opportunity for investors, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit leaders to meet and interact with faculty, students, and GSVC finalists. Please join us on April 19 and help us continue to strengthen and nurture the GSVC community and the social ventures that our competition helps to catalyze.

Mikie Lee Prasad - 11pm Acoustic / Folk / Americana Let's see... back in 73' I was born in the snowy Denver, CO in the dead of winter. Seriously, it was January... cold in them parts. It was in Denver that spent my first 18 years being raised by my loving parents and my slightly disturbed yet very loving older brother. It was He who taught my the art of the six string and how to have kick-ass taste in music. I joined His band in Berkeley, CA where Chris Franklin taught me the importance of the Almighty Song. The next 10-15 years have been a blur... gigs, cd's, gigs, tours, cd's, band breakups, band formations soon followed by breakups, more gigs, big stages, no stages... you get the idea. http://www.mikieleeprasad.com Fleeting Trance -10pm Minimalist / Healing & EasyListening / Crunk "Be it you, be it me, winter to spring, cold air to fair, summer to fall, we'll watch it all. With eyes that hope like the sun, to burn life into everyone." -Manasseh Bernal http://www.fleetingtrance.com James Colley -9pm Americana / Rock / Country James Colley is a singer/songwriter who brings together southern roots and a California upbringing to create a sound that is part rock and part classic country. Raised in Bakersfield, James found his musical inspiration in the works of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, The Stones and Lou Reed. James' vocal style is rebellious, reminiscent of many of country music's greats, but his true musical talent rests squarely in his songwriting abilities. The debut album, California Skin, brings superb lyrical arrangements that flaunt a youthful enthusiasm along with true Americana grit. http://www.jamescolley.com Adam Balbo -8pm Folk / Electroacoustic / Lyrical Adam Balbo is a good listener and he is an all around nice guy. He also happens to write very interesting lyrics that twist your head around and upside down before gently dropping you safely back down to the ground. A local hero of sorts that should not be missed. http://www.myspace.com/adambalbo

Joint Northern California chapter meeting of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) and the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation (NCDD). Learn more: IAP2 -- http://www.iap2.org NCDD -- http://www.thataway.org There's significant overlap in interests, tools, and experiences, and we're hoping to broaden our local network of local public participation, collaboration, and communication focused professionals. We hope to find an office conference room that will accommodate our two groups (if anyone has suggestions or a room to offer, please let us know) and we will confirm the location once we get closer to the date. We plan to bring in food and drinks and accept small donations to cover the cost. We expect that this event will mainly serve as a meet-and-greet between the two groups and that we can think about future opportunities for collaboration, tools-sharing, and other structured meetings. Please let us know if this date works for you, and let us know if you have any questions about this upcoming event -- we're very excited to get together!
