Your Saturday Guide for July 26, 2008

Weeklies and Bar Nights

Manquake at The Gangway
Bus Station John's newest night at a vintage Tenderloin gay bar. "Tremble & quake to the pulse of 70's/80's hi-NRG, disco and R&B classix & curios while enjoying drink specials & xxx-traordinary vintage visuals."
9PM - 2AM
$5
The Gangway, 841 Larkin Street

Frisco Disco at The Transfer
A hipster haven with a nice mixed crowd and an aggressive mix of electro, bloghouse and bangers. Check out my review of Frisco Disco.
$5
9.00PM - 2.00AM
The Transfer, Church at Market

Hot Mess at The Stud
A Gus Presents production with DJ Kidd Sysko spinning a little disco punk, a little hip-hop, and a lot of club. Check out the link for his Top 20 and decide for yourself. I hear there's also baby oil wrestling.
10PM - 3AM
$5
The Stud, 9th x Harrison.

Bistrotheque with Ken Vulsion at Cafe Flore
I've been remiss in not previously mentioning Ken Vulsion of Honey Sound System's Bistrotheque at Cafe Flore on Satuday evenings. A great place to go have a bite, warm up with a couple drinks, and groove along with Ken.
6PM - 12AM
NO COVER
Cafe Flore, 2298 Market Street x Noe

Monthlies and One-Offs

Hercules and Love Affair at Mezzanine
There's so much going on with this party I don't even know how to bill it. Live sets from Hercules and Love Affair (yes, really this time), DFA artists Banjee Boys and Girls from NYC, an analog acid house set from Steve Summers, DJ support from Omar (Popscene) and Honey Sound System, a midnight performance from Chris McVick and his Cabaret Cadettes, and drag extravaganza from Ambrosia Salad. Whew! Really, it doesn't get much gayer than this.
9PM - until everybody's blown their load
$20 at the door
Mezzanine, 444 Jessie x Mint

Opulent Temple Fundraiser with Lee Coombs and The Scumfrog at Mighty

Well, and then there's all the rest of the OT DJS as well. No doubt a crazy night of burner beats, these guys do an awesome job on the playa (and I have personally dug The Scumfrog on a playa Friday night) and need your support to keep it up.
10PM - 4AM
$15 in playa gear, $20 otherwise
Mighty, 119 Utah x 15th

Deep End Fundraiser at The End Up
It's the last year for this playa favorite, so come party with them while you can. Check out the link for all the fabulous DJs.
10PM Friday - Noon Saturday
$20 - come before 2AM and your cover goes directly to the camp
The End Up, 6th x Harrison

Temptation
Electro, Goth, Indie, New Wave, Post-punk, Punk, Industrial, Deathrock with DJs Dangerous Dan, Skip, Melting Girl, Starr, and Jawa
9.30PM - 3AM

The Cat Club, 1190 Folsom x 8th

Well, cooler than a retro-disco night at least, but that's just my opinion. People send me the listings, I post 'em, it's up to you all to decide where you wanna spend your time and money.
