An Englishman by birth, the orphaned Norton was lured to the California Gold Rush in 1849 with his father’s estate (about $40,000) burning a hole in his pocket. While Norton first was a model of success in real estate and merchant investments in the bustling San Francisco community, by the end of the 1850s, thanks to a poor investment in Chinese rice exports and a string of bad luck, Norton was nearly penniless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norton was frustrated with the Civil War and was heard to casually remark to a friend during that decade, \"If I were Emperor of the United States, you would see great changes effected, and everything would go harmoniously.\" So he decided to do just that -- the September 17, 1859 edition of the \u003cem>San Francisco Bulletin\u003c/em> published his first declaration as Emperor. From there, a phenomenon was born as Norton began to advocate for many different ideas, including abolishing the United States. Rival newspapers made up their own proclamations to compete, stores and restaurants vied for Norton’s endorsements for free publicity, and writers like Samuel Langhorne Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) and Robert Louis Stevenson immortalized him in their stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Norton was occasionally prescient -- he advised creating a League of Nations and building a bridge between Oakland and San Francisco -- he often attracted attention because of his larger-than-life personality. Norton rode the cable cars with his pack of dogs and dined for free in some of the best restaurants of San Francisco wearing an elaborate blue uniform given to him by officers at the Presidio with a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_hat\">beaver hat\u003c/a> decorated with a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peacock_feather\">peacock feather\u003c/a> and a rosette. While some believed him insane, Norton’s death in 1880 merited a front-page obituary and many of San Francisco’s elite attended his large funeral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13222\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 270px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-13222 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/230142306_29fdd372fd_z-270x360.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Mary Harrsch, via Flickr\" width=\"270\" height=\"360\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/mharrsch/230142306/in/photostream/\">Mary Harrsch, via Flickr\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alma de Bretteville Spreckels / \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Monument\">Dewey Monument\u003c/a>, Union Square\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Viggo de Bretteville liked to claim he was distantly related to French aristocracy, when his fifth of six children, Alma, was born in 1881 in the Sunset District, the family was anything but wealthy. Viggo had a distinct distaste for work, so his long-suffering wife Mathilde was the sole family breadwinner. By the time Mathilde managed to move the family to a downtown flat on Francisco Street that was converted into a combination Danish bakery, laundry service, and massage parlor, the 14-year-old Alma had dropped out of school to help, while attending the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The six-foot-tall beauty was soon attracting attention as a nude model for artists (and for successfully suing the miner Charlie Anderson for “personal defloweration” in a breach of promise lawsuit that made local headlines). Most famously, Alma was hired by \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ingersoll_Aitken\">Robert Ingersoll Aitken\u003c/a> to serve as the model for the “Goddess of Victory” statue atop a monument in Union Square honoring naval hero Admiral Dewey and the recently assassinated president William McKinley. Alma was specifically chosen by the wealthy committee chairman, Adolph Spreckels (head of the local Spreckles Sugar Company), who became smitten with her image. This man, 24 years older than Alma, courted her for five years before finally marrying her in 1908. (She famously said to have agreed to the marriage because, “I’d rather be an old man’s darling than a young man’s slave”). Alma went on to have three children with the man she called her “sugar daddy,” and, although much of the San Francisco elite initially turned their noses up at this bohemian woman, “the Great Grandmother of San Francisco” left quite a legacy; she donated the California Palace of the Legion of Honor (and her Rodin collection) to the city and with her next husband (the younger rancher Elmer Awl) worked to construct the San Francisco Maritime Museum. She died in 1968.\u003c/p>\n\n",

An Englishman by birth, the orphaned Norton was lured to the California Gold Rush in 1849 with his father’s estate (about $40,000) burning a hole in his pocket. While Norton first was a model of success in real estate and merchant investments in the bustling San Francisco community, by the end of the 1850s, thanks to a poor investment in Chinese rice exports and a string of bad luck, Norton was nearly penniless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norton was frustrated with the Civil War and was heard to casually remark to a friend during that decade, \"If I were Emperor of the United States, you would see great changes effected, and everything would go harmoniously.\" So he decided to do just that -- the September 17, 1859 edition of the \u003cem>San Francisco Bulletin\u003c/em> published his first declaration as Emperor. From there, a phenomenon was born as Norton began to advocate for many different ideas, including abolishing the United States. Rival newspapers made up their own proclamations to compete, stores and restaurants vied for Norton’s endorsements for free publicity, and writers like Samuel Langhorne Clemens (a.k.a. Mark Twain) and Robert Louis Stevenson immortalized him in their stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Norton was occasionally prescient -- he advised creating a League of Nations and building a bridge between Oakland and San Francisco -- he often attracted attention because of his larger-than-life personality. Norton rode the cable cars with his pack of dogs and dined for free in some of the best restaurants of San Francisco wearing an elaborate blue uniform given to him by officers at the Presidio with a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_hat\">beaver hat\u003c/a> decorated with a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peacock_feather\">peacock feather\u003c/a> and a rosette. While some believed him insane, Norton’s death in 1880 merited a front-page obituary and many of San Francisco’s elite attended his large funeral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13222\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 270px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-13222 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/230142306_29fdd372fd_z-270x360.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Mary Harrsch, via Flickr\" width=\"270\" height=\"360\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/mharrsch/230142306/in/photostream/\">Mary Harrsch, via Flickr\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alma de Bretteville Spreckels / \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Monument\">Dewey Monument\u003c/a>, Union Square\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Viggo de Bretteville liked to claim he was distantly related to French aristocracy, when his fifth of six children, Alma, was born in 1881 in the Sunset District, the family was anything but wealthy. Viggo had a distinct distaste for work, so his long-suffering wife Mathilde was the sole family breadwinner. By the time Mathilde managed to move the family to a downtown flat on Francisco Street that was converted into a combination Danish bakery, laundry service, and massage parlor, the 14-year-old Alma had dropped out of school to help, while attending the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most famously, Alma was hired by \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ingersoll_Aitken\">Robert Ingersoll Aitken\u003c/a> to serve as the model for the “Goddess of Victory” statue atop a monument in Union Square honoring naval hero Admiral Dewey and the recently assassinated president William McKinley. Alma was specifically chosen by the wealthy committee chairman, Adolph Spreckels (head of the local Spreckles Sugar Company), who became smitten with her image. This man, 24 years older than Alma, courted her for five years before finally marrying her in 1908. (She famously said to have agreed to the marriage because, “I’d rather be an old man’s darling than a young man’s slave”). Alma went on to have three children with the man she called her “sugar daddy,” and, although much of the San Francisco elite initially turned their noses up at this bohemian woman, “the Great Grandmother of San Francisco” left quite a legacy; she donated the California Palace of the Legion of Honor (and her Rodin collection) to the city and with her next husband (the younger rancher Elmer Awl) worked to construct the San Francisco Maritime Museum. She died in 1968.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The Peabody Award-winning program has never before undertaken an extended residency in any city outside their native Chicago, but as host Peter Sagal summed up backstage after the show, \"How could we not want to be here?

A tip for anyone attending: Study up before the show so you can get the nuances of the joke about the Iranian election.

The internationally lauded chef even brought signature amuse bouche from his Yountville kitchen for the panel, which silenced any jokes from Sagal only for the moment his mouth was full.

Hatfield and his crew, a.k.a. the \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.graffiti.org/lords/\" target=\"_blank\">Lords\u003c/a>,\" emulated their idols and started spinning hip-hop music and 'doing burners' or 'piecing graffiti:' creating works of original art on buildings, under bridges and on the walls of tunnels throughout Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His friend Jason, a.k.a. Kolage, came up with the graffiti name \"Twerk\" for Hatfield in 1990. Jason had already experimented with varying combinations of letters and had generated a list of names that started with \"Tw.\" Twine, Twerp, Twirk, Twurq were some early iterations. But when Hatfield saw \"Twerk,\" he thought it was the best candidate for his art and it became his graffiti nom de plume through the mid-'90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Visually, I liked the way it looked, the way the letters interacted with each other,\" says Hatfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12746\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/Twerk-1994-SF.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-12746\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/Twerk-1994-SF-1024x355.jpg\" alt=\"Early graffiti work by Shawn Hatfield (Twerk) in San Francisco from 1994\" width=\"1024\" height=\"355\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Early graffiti work by Shawn Hatfield (Twerk) in San Francisco from 1994.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As Hatfield became more deeply involved in music, he began using Twerk as his DJ name when he'd spin techno records at local raves and clubs in the Bay Area, as well as\u003ca href=\"http://www.discogs.com/artist/2839-Twerk\"> the name he used for his original works\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/157777946&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hip-hop group Yin Yang Twins released the song, \"\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ying_Yang_Twins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Whistle While You Twurk\u003c/a>\" in 2000.

Hatfield became annoyed when he saw that \"Twerk\" was getting pushed down in search results online and being taken over by booty-shaking. \"I was frustrated that my music was being buried on the internet. It was getting increasingly more difficult to find. And then I was getting frustrated by telling people about my work and having it being confused with this new definition, as if I was naming myself after it, and eventually became so popular it seemed to completely annihilate any meaning that was connected to my art. \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12780\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/twerktmf.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-12780\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/07/twerktmf-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"Shawn Hatfield, aka Twerk, performing at the Transmediale Festival on February 16, 2002\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shawn Hatfield, a.k.a.

Jason had already experimented with varying combinations of letters and had generated a list of names that started with \"Tw.\" Twine, Twerp, Twirk, Twurq were some early iterations. But when Hatfield saw \"Twerk,\" he thought it was the best candidate for his art and it became his graffiti nom de plume through the mid-'90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This architectural gem of a movie house, and the Stanford Theatre Foundation that manages it, are dedicated to showing classic Hollywood films as they were meant to be seen: on the big screen, on film and with the kind of equipment originally used to show films during the theatre's heyday. Well worth a trip down the peninsula, the theatre frequently dedicates their schedule to movie stars (Fred Astaire, Bette Davis) and directors (John Ford, Vincente Minnelli) for mini-festivals celebrating the best of old Hollywood. For an added plus, the popcorn can't be beat, and be sure not to miss the historic film poster collection on rotation in the lobby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.cinemasf.com/balboa/\">\u003cstrong>Balboa Theatre\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n3630 Balboa Street, San Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12279\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 375px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/05/30/the-best-movie-houses-of-the-bay-area-san-francisco-oakland/4022408032_aecf4f7075_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12279\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-12279\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/4022408032_aecf4f7075_b.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Serafina, via Flickr\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/4022408032_aecf4f7075_b.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/4022408032_aecf4f7075_b-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/phyxiusone/4022408032/\">Serafina\u003c/a>, via Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Often overlooked when discussing great San Francisco movie houses, the old Balboa is just decrepit and seedy enough around the edges to make it completely charming and yet still remind you of a time when moviegoing had a bit of glamour attached. The Art Deco-by-way-of-seventies-redo interior is worth the price of admission alone, but, once you get talking to the old timers at the ticket counter and behind concessions, it's almost incidental what movie you're there to see.

Actually, the term \"movie house\" is insufficient; the Paramount is truly a movie PALACE in the old sense. The opulent decor is show enough (a fabulous example of Egyptian Revival), but there's also the added benefit that, in addition to screening classic films, they also screen later favorites like \u003cem>The Goonies\u003c/em> and the occasional horror schlock, which is elevated to art amidst the gazes of the plaster sphinxes. In the '20s, '30s and '40s, movie studios frequently also owned the theaters their movies played in, and the Paramount is a fabulous reminder of this back-in-the-day monopoly. Every time I've seen Tori in concert at the Paramount, she can't help but compliment her surroundings, which is probably why she, like us, keeps coming back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://voguesf.com\">Vogue Theatre\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3290 Sacramento, San Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12282\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 375px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/05/30/the-best-movie-houses-of-the-bay-area-san-francisco-oakland/vogue/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12282\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-12282\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/vogue.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Brian Ferrell, via Flickr\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/vogue.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/vogue-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/endenizen/3751247894/\">Brian Ferrell\u003c/a>, via Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A neighborhood gem, this Presidio Heights theatre is (according to property records) the second oldest operating movie house in San Francisco.

Whether you're going to a major film festival, star-studded premiere, kid friendly sing-a-long or Peaches Christ drag spectacular, it's almost impossible to have a bad time at the Castro. Yes, the Castro is beautiful, yes, it hosts only-in-SF traditions (what other city does an annual screening of \u003cem>Showgirls?\u003c/em>) and yes, it is the place where many burgeoning young cinephiles first saw Fellini and Bergman and Almodovar on the big screen, but it's also important for being one of the most distinguishable landmarks in the neighborhood that helped bring gay rights to the forefront of American culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My favorite place to watch a movie in the Castro is in the balcony; you not only have a great view of the screen, but you also have a great view of the audience, which is sometimes the real show. The next time the Castro screens \u003cem>Milk\u003c/em>, run, don't walk to the next show time. To sit inside the theatre while watching crowds onscreen processing outside is a total \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> moment that's at once a little eery and completely magical. For me, the Castro will always be the beating heart of the SF movie house scene, pumping blood to all the other organs in the body electric of our film-going fantasies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On second thought, who needs a mega-multiplex?\u003c/p>\n\n",

This architectural gem of a movie house, and the Stanford Theatre Foundation that manages it, are dedicated to showing classic Hollywood films as they were meant to be seen: on the big screen, on film and with the kind of equipment originally used to show films during the theatre's heyday. Well worth a trip down the peninsula, the theatre frequently dedicates their schedule to movie stars (Fred Astaire, Bette Davis) and directors (John Ford, Vincente Minnelli) for mini-festivals celebrating the best of old Hollywood. For an added plus, the popcorn can't be beat, and be sure not to miss the historic film poster collection on rotation in the lobby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.cinemasf.com/balboa/\">\u003cstrong>Balboa Theatre\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n3630 Balboa Street, San Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12279\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 375px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/05/30/the-best-movie-houses-of-the-bay-area-san-francisco-oakland/4022408032_aecf4f7075_b/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12279\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-12279\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/4022408032_aecf4f7075_b.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Serafina, via Flickr\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/4022408032_aecf4f7075_b.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/4022408032_aecf4f7075_b-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/phyxiusone/4022408032/\">Serafina\u003c/a>, via Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Often overlooked when discussing great San Francisco movie houses, the old Balboa is just decrepit and seedy enough around the edges to make it completely charming and yet still remind you of a time when moviegoing had a bit of glamour attached.

Actually, the term \"movie house\" is insufficient; the Paramount is truly a movie PALACE in the old sense. The opulent decor is show enough (a fabulous example of Egyptian Revival), but there's also the added benefit that, in addition to screening classic films, they also screen later favorites like \u003cem>The Goonies\u003c/em> and the occasional horror schlock, which is elevated to art amidst the gazes of the plaster sphinxes. In the '20s, '30s and '40s, movie studios frequently also owned the theaters their movies played in, and the Paramount is a fabulous reminder of this back-in-the-day monopoly. Every time I've seen Tori in concert at the Paramount, she can't help but compliment her surroundings, which is probably why she, like us, keeps coming back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://voguesf.com\">Vogue Theatre\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3290 Sacramento, San Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12282\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 375px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/05/30/the-best-movie-houses-of-the-bay-area-san-francisco-oakland/vogue/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12282\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-12282\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/vogue.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Brian Ferrell, via Flickr\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/vogue.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/05/vogue-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/endenizen/3751247894/\">Brian Ferrell\u003c/a>, via Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A neighborhood gem, this Presidio Heights theatre is (according to property records) the second oldest operating movie house in San Francisco.

Whether you're going to a major film festival, star-studded premiere, kid friendly sing-a-long or Peaches Christ drag spectacular, it's almost impossible to have a bad time at the Castro. Yes, the Castro is beautiful, yes, it hosts only-in-SF traditions (what other city does an annual screening of \u003cem>Showgirls?\u003c/em>) and yes, it is the place where many burgeoning young cinephiles first saw Fellini and Bergman and Almodovar on the big screen, but it's also important for being one of the most distinguishable landmarks in the neighborhood that helped bring gay rights to the forefront of American culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My favorite place to watch a movie in the Castro is in the balcony; you not only have a great view of the screen, but you also have a great view of the audience, which is sometimes the real show. The next time the Castro screens \u003cem>Milk\u003c/em>, run, don't walk to the next show time. To sit inside the theatre while watching crowds onscreen processing outside is a total \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em> moment that's at once a little eery and completely magical. For me, the Castro will always be the beating heart of the SF movie house scene, pumping blood to all the other organs in the body electric of our film-going fantasies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
