Win tickets to see Dweezil Zappa celebrate 20 years of playing Frank Zappa music in San Francisco

Dweezil Zappa is back on the road and GP Presents is thrilled to partner with AEG Entertainment to welcome him in the Bay Area on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. His DZ20: Like Father, Like Son Tour celebrates 20 years scaling the musical mountain of material composed by his father Frank , and playing it authentically onstage with fresh energy. “It’s an ever-evolving skill to be able to filter my playing through the Frank Zappa vocabulary and lens of influence,” Dweezil told GP ’s Gary Graff, “but then at the speed of thought be able to have my own phrases come into the music. I rarely play complete solos note-for-note, but I do try to play specific phrases that give the identity and the flavor of the solo in the way my dad would play it, while using a sound that is evocative of the era.” That’s a big part of the big fun that happens whenever Dweezil plays his father’s music, the authentic classic rock-era tones he achieves with the historic gear he brings. Here’s what to expect on DZ20: “I’m bringing a Roxy-era SG with some different pickups, and I’m bringing a Stratocaster with a humbucker in the bridge

Flood risks rise on SF's Embarcadero

Unusually high tides are overflowing onto SF's Embarcadero, raising concerns about more severe flooding during winter storms. Why it matters: Higher sea levels combined with historic winter storms could flood waterfront roads, damage infrastructure, and disrupt low-lying neighborhoods, KQED reports . Catch up quick: On Oct. 25, high tides flooded the Embarcadero , cutting off parts of Pier 14 and closing sections of the sidewalk and bike lane despite calm weather. SF's average sea level reached 12.4 inches above NOAA predictions in October, the largest monthly difference on record. More extreme tides are expected around Thanksgiving and Christmas. How it works: Ocean and atmospheric conditions are raising coastal water levels even before winter storms arrive . El Niño-driven Kelvin waves are pulses of warm water that travel east across the Pacific before moving north along the West Coast, capable of raising coastal sea levels by 6 to 12 inches , per NOAA. This added rise can worsen flooding when combined with king tides, marine heat waves, and storm surges, according to KQED . Flashback: Past El Niño and winter storms show how quickly conditions can overwhelm the waterfront. In February 1998 , high winds, heavy rain, and elevated sea levels

Sergeant Ma Is the Fun Group Spot That China Basin Needs

In our Dining Reports, we share a firsthand perspective of a recent restaurant visit, covering everything from the vibe to must-get dishes. See more in the Eater app. Chef Jason Halverson and Hi Neighbor Hospitality Group of Trestle, Mama Oakland, the Vault, and more, have opened their latest restaurant, Sergeant Ma, with a big splash in the China Basin neighborhood. Named after Halverson’s mother — affectionately called both “sergeant” and “ma” — the restaurant is a reflection of his upbringing. His mother immigrated to the United States from Vietnam, and Halverson spent his childhood in Wichita, Kansas, eating his mother’s cooking, where “she interpreted recipes her own way,” as the restaurant shares. What that means at Sergeant Ma is a food menu that zigzags between cultural references, both Asian and Californian, with produce-driven dishes inspired by Halverson’s own history of cooking in (and owning) San Francisco restaurants.
