Okay guys, the Super Bowl is over and downtown is almost safe to visit again. Deconstruction of "Super Bowl City" should be underway and the sports insanity sounds like it's winding down if not over. But exciting stuff is still coming to the bay area. Like IndieFest, for starters, which starts this Wednesday. Although nothing in these first couple of days really stands out on the horror front, there will be a "Bad Art" gallery (with booze) at the end of the week. Let's see what else is going on around us:
