Yes, Molly Hahn is only 25-and-a-half years old, but her current exhibition at Muddy Waters Cafe in no way constitutes one of those shows where a young artist attempts to pass off a limited body of work as an all-encompassing retrospective.

Comebacks are huge in music, fashion, and apparently frozen yogurt. Penguin’s, which once reigned as king on the corner of State and Carrillo streets, is long gone, but the new generation of the frozen stuff is making a comeback on State, only this time at Rockin’ Yogurt on the 600 block.
The county Planning Commission voted 3-2 against TDR programs incorporating obligatory 8- and 4-year hold periods…
Bring on da noise, bring on da buck. That’s right, buck. Not funk. This Saturday night is all about “getting buck,” as the Buck World One performance shakes, shimmies, and slides into town.
