Come celebrate Christmas the Jewish Way - in a Chinese restaurant with Jewish comedy. Now celebrating its 17th year, Kung Pao Kosher Comedy continues to provide an answer to the age-old question, "What are Jews supposed to do on Christmas?" What started out as a joke by San Francisco-based Jewish stand up comic, Lisa Geduldig, has become an institution in San Francisco, annually giving 3000 comedy aficionados and those escaping "Christmas-mania" an alternative to Jingle Bells. It's the Bar Mitzvah you never had -- and you don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy it.
Over the past 16 years, Kung Pao has raised 10's of 1000's of dollars and awareness for different organizations. This year, partial proceeds will benefit: National MS Society, Northern California Chapter.
Featuring:
• Jonathan Katz (Dr Katz, Professional Therapist)
• Brian Malow ("science comedian," Kung Pao 2000)
• Hilary Schwartz (NY comic)
• Lisa Geduldig (your hostess)
Tickets are available at www.koshercomedy.com or at 925-275-9005. Dinner show costs $62 and includes a 7-course Chinese banquet; cocktail show tickets are $42 and include veggie egg rolls.

Conversations with Myself: A Brain Journey
Opens at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on November 12, 2009, and will run through January, 2010
The resulting creations are quite literally a visual record of the artist's conversations with herself.
Elizabeth Jameson's CONVERSATIONS WITH MYSELF: A BRAIN JOURNEY will feature solarplate etchings, silk paintings, textile art, mixed media pieces, and digital work.
"I start with these stark, intimidating pieces of dark plastic that have defined and delineated the most challenging facets of my life for the past twenty years,' according to Elizabeth Jameson. "And I attempt to transform them into something beautiful.'
"In what most people would find formidable, Elizabeth finds an astounding beauty", according to Lynn Curtis, curator at The Commonwealth Club. "The result is a series of paintings and prints that are absolutely radiant, and I am honored to bring this amazing and life-affirming exhibition to the Commonwealth Club."
Elizabeth Jameson's CONVERSATIONS WITH MYSELF: A BRAIN JOURNEY uniquely re-contextualizes medical images into something else entirely.
"By using art to understand her own brain, Elizabeth has found new layers of meaning - and beauty - in oft-seen medical images," according to Dr. Stephen L. Hauser, neuroimmunologist and Chair of the Department of Neurology at UCSF, whose research has dramatically advanced our understanding of the genetic basis, immune mechanisms, and treatment of multiple sclerosis. "I’ll never again look at an MRI scan in the same way.”
ABOUT ELIZABETH JAMESON--Bay Area artist Elizabeth Jameson creates artwork that celebrate the beauty and remarkable adaptive abilities of the human brain. Jameson lives with multiple sclerosis and uses her own MRI brain scans to create art that explores her life, complete with emotional, physical and spiritual complexity.
