Friday and Saturday Guide for January 30 and January 31, 2009

It was a quiet weekend for yours truly last weekend (the boyfriend was off at event that, as of last year, I can never attend again, so I indulged in having the flat to myself), but there's lots of fun stuff coming up for this weekend. Unfortunately, I have to catch a flight to the East Coast on Sunday, so my hi-jinx will be somewhat curtailed, but there's no reason why you all have to be in bed early, is there?

Friday, January 30

Some Recommendations for Saturday, January 17 2008

Oy, I've been really bad about keeping up with ye olde Events Calendar, but really, it's getting harder and harder to find things I would list there anyway. And has anybody else noticed how flyers have now completely disappeared from The Castro, thanks to the poster nazis known as the Castro Beautification District? Glad I'm not trying to promote a club right now, as I don't know how we'd get the word out.

Anyway, a couple things coming up this Saturday you might wanna check out:

Chrome with Husband
Chrome is the ongoing queer rock social at the Gangway, where you can go and hear your favorite rock/metal/indie etc. tunes and hang out with the TL hipster boys. This installment's DJ is Husband, aka Marc Kate of local techno outfit Silencefiction, who promises a night of goth/metal/punk tunes.

The Show with The Space Cowboys at The Endup
Now this sounds like fun, and I'm sure the place will be packed. My likely destination for the night. Be sure to use the link to get on the $10 guest list.

Eggs at Paradise Lounge
Safety Scissors brings back Eggs, a showcase of quirky, fun, and danceable techno. With locals Eats Tapes, Safety Scissors, Alland Byallo, and Frivolous from Berlin.

Superego at DNA Lounge
Oh, and good thing I have people to remind me of these things. For your "culture blender" choice this evening, how about SuperEgo: Music/Dance/Glam with electro, techno, indie remixes, crunk, disco, and glam. Featuring The Tenderloins, Shaun Slaughter, Sarah Delush, and DJs Kid Hack and Mario Muse.

Introducing the SFScene Events Calendar!

Okay kids, as you may have noticed, I've recently been having trouble keeping up with the Friday and Saturday Night Guide posts. Thing is, life's busy, and soemtimes it's been difficult for me to find the time to get those out in timely manner. Plus, I've not been as good at keeping up with the one-offs and such because I lost my great Outlook calendar system when I got my new job (Zimbra, btw, is teh suxxors as far as I'm concerned for ease-of-use).

The solution: the new SFScene Events Calendar on Google! It will live in it's own little bloggy post and get regular updates when I add to it in Google, and if you want to check out a full-size version you just need to click on the link over there in the little calendar box. This way I can also start putting up info about some of the mid-week and Sunday events that have otherwise escaped promotion while also saving myself some weekly effort. As always, I'll be sticking to listing events that I personally would recommend (for the most part, at least). Links to reviews, when I've written them, will be in the event descriptions, as will links to the event websites themselves. I'll be adding more events to the calendar over the next few days, and by the end of the next week you should be able to check it out for all kinds of fun things happening between now and the end of November. Enjoy!

Your Saturday Guide for September 6, 2008

Wow, with no more Frisco Disco, and no more Drunk and Horny (yep, not even as a monthly), the Saturday night listings are starting to look a little sparse! And that's even before I start cutting out the stuff that I wouldn't go to in a million years.

Bob Mould and Rich Morel present Blowoff at Slim's
Okay, this is how it's described in an event listing elsewhere: "Bob Mould and Rich Morel bring their indie dance club with a bearish clientele to San Francisco. " Personally, I think San Francisco needs another bear party about as much as it needs another diva pop/hip hop party, but I'm much more interested in what they do for the music rather than what kind of guys show up for it. These parties have been huge in DC, and the one they brought to New York tallied up 1200 people, so this could be quite an event that's well worth checking out.
ALL AGES

Upcoming Event: Comfort and Joy Afterglow Party, Saturday June 28

Okay kids, there's just so much going on this weekend that I've decided to dispense with the usual Friday and Saturday night guides cuz it's just too complicated, so I'm simply going to tell you about what I think the best parties of the weekend will be. Aside from our own Mr. party at Mighty on Friday Night (which is also up against a private party from queer Burners The Burning Marys, also a recommended event), my main recc for the weekend is Comfort and Joy's Afterglow party, which is now in it's third consecutive year. Alterna Burner queers, cozy private residence, good music, play space - what more do you want? Check out the Comfort and Joy blog for info about both Afterglow and Burning Marys.

Your Saturday Guide for May 17, 2008

OK, OK, I know that I've been slipping this week, what with forgetting about Little Brother at 1015 last night, and not getting this Saturday guide out until Saturday, but I started a new job this week, and wow, have I been busy. At my old job there was plenty of slack time to write blog posts, but for now it's work work work; at least I'm getting to write about cool technology that could usher in Web 3.0 or something.

The big news for tonight is: NO MORE DRUNK AND HORNY. That's right, after a three-year run the boys are moving on to a new project. Don't know for sure what that will be yet, but I'll let you all know as soon as I do.
