Eight Gigs: San Francisco Symphony: E.T. The Extra Terrestrial

Thu., Mar. 24, Mondavi Center, 8 p.m., $17.50-$85

Upon its 1982 release, Steven Spielberg’s E.T. seemed to be everywhere. Not only did Reese’s Pieces spike in sales, but nearly every kid in the known universe had a stuffed animal or plastic figurine of their favorite space friend. This event pairs the San Francisco Symphony with a screening of the film in what is sure to be one of Mondavi’s highlights of the year. It’ll leave you breathless with childlike wonder from the sheer awesomeness of experiencing the legendary John Williams score live alongside this classic film. 1 Shields Avenue in Davis, www.sfsymphony.org.
