A 112-year-old movie theater has turned into one of SF's favorite rock venues

While her bandmate takes a keyboard solo, Micah Morris lowers her microphone and sways to the music. Directly behind her, a 20-foot screen cycles through psychedelic imagery: clips of Jupiter and mandalas, all overlaid with flashes of color and fuzz. As the singer moves, she casts a small shadow, a dark mark over the swirls of color. Down below in the theater's seats, a small crowd listens attentively. Three friends silently pass a large bag of popcorn, and in the dark, greased paper catches the projector's faint glow. A man across the aisle sips a Fort Point.
