Few
would consider a successful big-bucks corporate consultant to
be a caterpillar, but it turns out that's exactly what Curt
Yagi was. Dissatisfied with the grind and seeking meaning in
his life, Yagi, a part-time multi-instrumentalist who's been
in many bands, joined the nonprofit Real Options for City Kids
- which he now runs - and, completing his metamorphosis, recorded
a CD, "What's Come Over Me," that reveals him to be
a talented songwriter who sings a bit like Kenny Loggins. Tonight
is his CD release party. $10/$15. 8 p.m. Jelly's, 295 Terry
Francois Blvd., Pier 50, San Francisco. (415) 495-3099, www.curtyagi.com.
