Step into a colorful world of self-expression with artist Alex Pellegrini in this interactive workshop on clothing and shoe decoration using felt marking pens. Alex will guide you through techniques for drawing, painting, creating patterns, and adding vibrant details to fabric and shoes. You’ll learn how to turn ordinary items into wearable art while developing your own creative style. Bring your own clothing or shoes to customize and make something uniquely yours. Whether you're an experienced artist or someone who just wants to have fun and experiment, all levels are welcome. This workshop is part art class, part creative play, and all about self-expression. Come connect, create, and leave with something uniquely yours. If you wish to avoid online registration fees, you may register in person at Professor Seagull's Smartshop in North Beach.

Join us for a free screening of Kin-dza-dza!, Georgiy Daneliya’s strange, funny, and deeply original 1986 Soviet sci-fi cult classic. Two ordinary men are accidentally transported to the desert planet Pluke, where matches are precious, social hierarchies are absurd, and almost everything seems to operate according to rules nobody bothered to explain. Dry, surreal, and unexpectedly philosophical, Kin-dza-dza! is equal parts dystopian satire, cosmic road movie, and deadpan comedy. Part of our Psychedelic Film Series. Wednesday, September 16 at 7 PM Live Worms / Church of Mother Gong 1345 Grant Ave., San Francisco Free admission

Brutal Sound Effects Festival #102 lands at Live Worms Gallery / The Church of Mother Gong for the first time — an evening of adventurous sound, unruly electronics, noise, performance, and other excursions into the experimental. This edition brings together Joseph Hammer (LA), Bullshit Detector, Rat Diet, Lime Rickey International, Ploc Munster, and Lime Eyelid for a night of strange sounds, unexpected turns, and performances that move between the abrasive, hypnotic, playful, and surreal. A longtime fixture in San Francisco’s experimental underground, the festival occupies its own peculiar territory: part concert, part gathering, part controlled accident. For Festival #102, that strange little universe takes over Live Worms in North Beach for the first time. Show starts at 8pm sharp! Plan to arrive in North Beach early if you're driving, as parking is hard to find! $6-10 cash or Venmo at the door if you wish to avoid additional fees.

Join us for a free screening of I Drink Your Blood, David E. Durston’s infamous cult horror film from the psychedelic exploitation era. A band of Satanic hippies descends on a nearly deserted small town, where a young boy’s revenge scheme involving rabies-tainted meat pies goes spectacularly wrong. What follows is a feverish collision of counterculture paranoia, grindhouse horror, black comedy and pure early-’70s delirium.
