Apparently we are "glammed-out cuteness". From the SF Weekly Day-by-Day picks: Saturday, September 17, 2005 So many times, festivals are insular. Whether it's a film series, some sort of art conglomeration, or a group of musical events, birds of a feather don't fall far from the tree, or however that goes. But at "A Mighty Ruckus at Islais Creek," hybridization seems to be the name of the game: Musicwise, the lineup goes from electronic crunch (F Space) to glammed-out cuteness (Plastination) to good old surf gee-tar (The Copper Tones), reaching its apotheosis in Smash Up Derby, a live mash-up band. The Ruckus colors outside the lines with its own definition, too, boasting films from Microcinema and the Found Footage Fest as well as visual art displays. And it's all happening in Bayshore, which organizers describe as an "industrial-fabulous district." Insert earplugs at noon at the Bay Area Motor Club, 1598 Custer (at Rankin), S.F.
