The One About Faith and a Band of Masked Men
Suzie Racho and David Wiegand scout the Bay Area for things to do this coming weekend and turn up faith, illuminations, comedy, and much more!
Paloma Faith
September 18, 2012
Rickshaw Stop
Adele, the Queen of British soul singers, is taking a break from music to focus on baby-making. This leaves room for a successor, which very well might be Paloma Faith. She will be playing songs from her 2009 debut Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful, as well as her new album Fall to Grace, at the Rickshaw Stop on Tuesday night. Get into it before everyone else does! For tickets and more information, visit rickshawstop.com.
30 Years of Headlands Center for the Arts

There will be a game of edible chess, hikes led by artists, photo opportunities on top of the T-Rex Tiger, and music by Jeffrey Manson, Magic Magic Roses, and Spencer Owen. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! For tickets and more information, visit headlands.org.
