user: Restore Our Future Raises About $5 Million in May
Restore Our Future, the “super PAC” formed to help elect Mitt Romney to the White House, raised about $5 million in May, mostly from donors who had not contributed previously to the group, according to federal filings.

Warren Stephens, a billionaire investment banker from Arkansas, gave $500,000 to the group; Rocco Ortenzio, a health care executive from Pennsylvania, gave $500,000; and Richard Mellon Scaife, a billionaire publisher in Pittsburgh, gave $67,500.

Not included in the total: a pledge of $10 million from Sheldon Adelson, a Las Vegas casino magnate who donated millions to Newt Gingrich’s presidential bid during the primaries.

Restore Our Future ended the month with about $8.4 million in cash on hand, according to its report with the Federal Election Commission. The group raised about $4.6 million in April.

Organized by former aides to Mr. Romney, the group was extremely active during the Republican primaries, spending tens of millions of dollars to attack Mr. Romney’s rivals and to defend the governor against attacks from within his party.

The group has been less active since Mr. Romney effectively clinched the nomination. But this week, it began a $7 million advertising campaign in eight swing states.

Among the donors that Restore Our Future listed in its federal disclosure filing are several executives of the Villages of Lake Sumter, a retirement home in Florida. Five donors from the retirement home collectively donated more than $425,000.

Three donations of $333,333, $333,333 and $333,334 came from three separate corporations in Dayton, Ohio. The businesses all shared the same post office box, suggesting they came from a person who apparently wanted to avoid a single, $1 million contribution.

The disclosure also included a handful of small donors: $10 from a consultant in South Boston; $100 from a union electrician from New Jersey; and $30 from a seminary professor in California.

Q: 5 Bay Area events, May 1-4

This weekend marks the unofficial start to festival season in the Bay Area, with the kickoff of the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, the return of the How Weird Street Faire (more on these below) and Stern Grove’s first Grove on the Road event. It’s also a Sunday Streets weekend, with the roaming block party heading to the Bayview/Dogpatch, and it’s a First Friday weekend, which means plenty of great art events — including Oakland Art Murmur, the North Beach Art Crawl and the South First Friday art walk. And if that wasn’t enough, there are a couple of early Cinco de Mayo events this weekend, one Saturday in the Mission and a block party Friday at Taverna Aventine. If you’re still looking for something to do, we have five ideas:

Fans of vinyl, and music in general, look forward to the third Saturday of April each year, when Record Store Day brings special releases from musicians and general goodwill toward indie record stores. Looking to do the same for the indie bookstore, Green Apple Books’ co-owner Pete Mulvihill (shown) and his wife, writer Samantha Schoech, have created the first California Bookstore Day. On Saturday, more than 80 bookstores throughout the state will participate with exclusive books and art pieces created for the event, plus readings, prizes and more. (The hope, according to Hut Landon, of the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association, is to take it nationwide next year.) See a list of participating bookstores here.

With the recent “Star Wars” casting announcement, many sci-fi fans’ minds have been focused lately on a galaxy far, far away. It’s only fitting, then, that Sunday is the 15th How Weird Street Faire, with 10 stages of art, live music, dancing and performances with the theme “Peace — The Final Frontier.” The event runs from noon to 8 p.m., with after-parties, at Brick & Mortar, Harlot and the Stud Bar. The main entrance will be at Howard and New Montgomery. The event is free, but a $10 donation gets you a magic sticker, good for discounts and free goods throughout the faire.

Keeping with the sci-fi theme, Super7 Store in the Haight is celebrating Sunday’s “official ‘Star Wars’ holiday” with its second annual May the 4th Be With You party. Mingle with S.F.’s local 501st Legion- Golden Gate Garrison of Stormtroopers, play in a “Star Wars” Mini-Arcade with the classic Atari StarWars arcade cabinet and a “Star Wars” pinball game, check out the customized photo booth and try to win “Star Wars.” memorabilia. May the 4th Be With You runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday; admission is free.

Summer brings with it no shortage of live outdoor performances in the Bay Area, and one of the most popular, the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, returns this weekend with a kick-off concert at 1 p.m. Sunday featuring Eddie Palmieri (shown). The festival runs through October, with performers including the Pacific Mambo Orchestra, Ensemble Mik Nawooj and Andre Thierry — and that’s just in the first five weeks. All shows are free and at Yerba Buena Gardens.

You likely know comedian Al Madrigal best from “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart”: He’s the show’s senior Latino correspondent. But Madrigal is also a San Francisco native and one of the stars of the new show “About a Boy,” and he’ll be back in town starting Thursday for a three-day run at Cobb’s Comedy Club. Tickets: $25.

Foster identified the silicone leak as another potential factor in her health crisis in early August. In another Instagram image, she showed off the three areas along her chest where her physician found silicone that had leaked out after her implants.

"We might have hit the jackpot by finding all this silicone from a 20 year old implant rupture through ultrasound mapping as shown in this selfie. Thank you Dr.Feng for holding my hand and leading the way," she wrote.

In the years since being diagnosed with Lyme, Foster has found her everyday functionality tested – including her ability to
