6 pm: League endorsements for the May election
6 pm: Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence - The Sisters are EVERYWHERE this weekend! They're celebrating their 30th anniversary in style with a show at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, an exhibit at the main library, and the annual Easter Sunday Hunky Jesus competition.
7 pm: Barry Jenkins, the Director of Medicine for Melancholy - A new film shot entirely in San Francisco, now playing at the Roxie. Starring Wyatt Cynac from the Daily Show. This is the first feature film we've seen that captures modern life in SF, including scenes at Rainbow Grocery, the Knockout, and the Museum of the African Diaspora.

It's a love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American twenty-somethings dealing with issues of class, identity, and the evolving conundrum of being a minority in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco—a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city.
