FIVE THINGS to make your Monday rock

By Caitlin Donohue

Robert Henry Johnson Kwanzaa performance The second-to-last day of Kwanzaa commemorates creativity, or the value of using our natural talent to better the community. Spend it, then, listening to this Bay Area performance artist at the country’s oldest African American bookstore. 6pm, free. Marcus Bookstore, 1712 Fillmore, SF. www.kwanzaasanfrancisco.com

Jerico Bring your own Nerf gun and bandanna and you will be all set to participate
in this urban spy game. You’ll play in public places – it’s something like Capture the
Flag – so be careful where you’re pointing that toy weapon, why don’tcha. 7pm, free. RSVP for location. www.meetup.com

Motown Mondays There’s never a better place to soothe your troubled workweek soul on Mondays in SF than the weekly (and now country-wide) Motown Mondays with Gordo Cabeza, The Captain Hat, and Timeteo Gigante.
