Virgil’s Sea Room, 3152 Mission, SF. www.ahdm4u.com

Chance the Rapper The Bay has cloud rap – those nebulous, drawn-out beats mimicking the Promethazine high – but only Chicago’s Chance the Rapper can bring the acid rap, with loopy lyrics and sunny beats. See him before he hits large. 8pm, $25. Regency Ballroom, 1290 Sutter, SF. www.theregencyballroom.com

Color Me Badd Guru of cheapness and serious city character Broke Ass Stuart hosts this yes, coloring book happy hour.

The Cellar, 685 Sutter, SF. www.cellarsf.com

We Are Staying rally A targeted demonstration against a unscrupulous landlord (to be named at the rally itself), today’s protest will feature the testimony of two Missionites facing eviction from their homes.
