Monday
Red Cross Blood Drive, 9:30 AM, MLK Student Union in Tilden Room. Isn’t this city running out of blood from all of these endless drives?
Iraq: 4 Years of “Freedom”, 7-10 PM, Evans Hall. What better way to spend a Monday night than the art of literary protest?
Muse Concert, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in SF, 8 PM. Can you tell British bands apart anymore? Neither can I. [Ticketmaster & Sample]

Saturday

Humari Kahaniyan: Indus Culture Show, 2007, 6 PM, Zellerbach Hall. We read. We listen. We tell. We feel. We understand. We drink at the afterparty. We make out with slut or douche. We drown ourself in self-loathing after we get home. We understand. [Flyer]
