Danny DeVito Chats with James L. Brooks at SF Sketchfest

A ‘Country Strong’ Sing Off
I went to a screening of Country Strong tonight (stay tuned for a review) and was treated to a wonderful rendition of Tim McGraw‘s (who happens to be in the movie) “Something Like That” provided by San Francisco-based a cappella group The Clef Divers.

John Varvatos Celebrates 10 Years in the Biz
As seen on SF Unzipped… A little over two years ago, the John Varvatos store set roots on Geary Street.
