Some Thing The Stud : Every Fri.
The unGoogleable inheritor of the Trannyshack art-drag scepter is known as Some Thing; each Friday brings a new theme via semi-pun. It could be simple, such as Some Thing Good, or it could be A Li’l Sumptin’ Some Thing, which is funny but what are you going to wear? The first show... More >>
South of Market	Nightlife, Cabaret & Drag

Gaucho, Eric Garland's Jazz Session, Dink Dink Dink Amnesia : 7:00 p.m. every Wed.
The term "gaucho" commonly refers to nomadic South American cowboys, which is pretty indicative of how the San Francisco band Gaucho plays its version of Gypsy jazz: in Gaucho's hands, le jazz manouche is left playfully unchained to the genre's European historical foundations, allowing the...

Mission/ Bernal Heights	Music, Free Events

"1964" Edinburgh Castle : 10:00 p.m. second Wed. of every month; 10:00 p.m. fourth Wed. of every month
This dance party gets the records spinning every second and fourth Wednesday of the month. While the red Christmas lights could come across as gauche, they prove to be casually intimate as you and other stylish fauxhemians are transported to 1964. That's right: The Shirelles, the Sapphires, the... More >>
Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Nightlife, Music

Toshio Hirano Amnesia : 9:00 p.m. second Mon. of every month
Toshio Hirano is a time- and continent-jumping troubadour. He grew up in Tokyo, coming of age when the American folk revival was also hitting Japan, but a chance listen to a Sunday afternoon radio program introduced him to the sound of southern Appalachia. Fast-forward through moves to... More >>

"Saturday Night Soul Party" Elbo Room : 10:00 p.m. first Sat. of every month
The current surge of early-reggae and R&B club nights in town shows that the '60s are finally back in an authentic, non-Boomer-centric way. For the last few years, the twice-monthly Saturday Night Soul Party has maintained a spot on the top of the heap. DJs Phengren, Paul Paul, and Pink Panzer... More >>
Mission/ Bernal Heights	Nightlife, Music

Secret Improv Society Shelton Theater : 10:00 p.m. every Sat.
This city's theater scene is chock-full of improv. Whether you're new to it or a grizzled veteran, you won't have to hunt too long to find a venue. Each Friday and Saturday night, the Shelton Theatre hosts its own brand of "secret" improv theater. The stage at the Shelton has given such... More >>

Vogue and Tone Dance Mission Theater : 8:00 p.m. every Tue.
Local dancer Jocquese Whitfield, aka JoQ, is the giant brain behind the new Vogue and Tone class (and a similar course at ODC). Why now, so many years after Paris Is Burning, and the Madonna song? Who cares? The class combines strenuous exercise with runway- and queen-inspired style; it’s... More >>
Mission/ Bernal Heights	Dance - Participatory

Alcatraz Night Tour Alcatraz Island : Every Mon., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun.
Alcatraz -- "The Rock" -- is one of those tours that you have to take at least once, whether you're local or just visiting.

Chantey Sing Hyde Street Pier : 8:00 p.m. first Sat. of every month
Truss up your breeches for this one: The ships down at Fisherman's Wharf are well known to children and tourists, but once a month, in the dead of night, locals creep to the C.A. Thayer and the Balclutha. For 20 years, the National Parks Service has hosted the Chantey Sing on these two... More >>

I Wake Up Dreaming 2013 Roxie Theater : Daily until May 23
New York and Los Angeles are sometimes unrecognizable in films noir because A) it was often taken for granted that those movies simply needed a big city as a backdrop, and B) many of those films lacked location photography. San Francisco was rarely used merely as a stand-in for “big city... More >>
Mission/ Bernal Heights	Film Events & Repertory

DIVAfest 2013: You're Going to Bleed Exit Theatre : Every Thu., Fri., Sat. until June 1
If Quentin Tarantino turned his attention to the quiet unease of American suburbia, we imagine the results would be similar to You're Going to Bleed, a dark comedy by playwright Melissa Fall about modern malaise, sex, and revenge, which premiered at the S.F. Olympians Festival and won the... More >>

DIVAfest 2013: Rebel Without a Bra – A Burlesque Cabaret Exit Theatre : 9:00 p.m. every Fri., Sat. until June 1
Despite modern burlesque's associations with elegantly taking one's clothes off before a live audience of hooters and hollerers, burlesque is an art form that was originally intended to make us laugh. The word itself derives from the Italian burlesco, which means to jest or joke, and its roots... More >>
Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Women's Events, Festivals, Burlesque

ArtPadSF Phoenix Hotel : 6:00 p.m. daily until May 20
ArtPadSF brings the boutique art fair but skips the stodgy attitude. Founders Chip Conley and Maria Jenson proudly embrace the fair’s location in the gritty Tenderloin District, and ArtPad always makes room for emerging artists. For its third year, the event returns to “rock 'n'... More >>

Ferry Plaza Saturday Farmers' Market Ferry Building : 10:00 a.m. every Sat.
Tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapeño. Three examples of things that are nearly impossible to grow in this city -- even in the Mission sun. But fear not, you don't have to cut them out of your diet or resort to a supermarket. Every Saturday morning, growers from around the Bay Area and... More >>

Harvey's Funny Tuesdays Harvey's : 9:00 p.m. every Tue.
Comedy shows in bars can be an odd mix, especially when a birthday or bachelorette party means lots of stiff drinks and dildos strapped to the heads of the women tearing it up in their final hours before marriage. These giggling “dickheads” can be a comedian’s worst nightmare, as... More >>
Castro/ Noe Valley	Free Events, Comedy, Arts

The Clock San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) : Daily until June 2
Since the beginning, artists have yearned to stop time, or at least to examine their nagging awareness that it's unstoppable. But only San Rafael native Christian Marclay has so successfully managed to turn the anxious sport of clock-watching into a weird and highly mediated form of... More >>

"2 Men Will Move You" Amnesia : 9:00 p.m. second Sat. of every month
In a period of time seemingly dominated by guests from out of town, it's comforting to know that there are still local alternatives. 2 Men Will Move You is a party put together by long-time fixtures on the San Francisco nightlife scene Primo Pitino (of Oldies Night fame) and Jordan Heyser....

Poetry at the 33 3300 Club : 7:00 p.m. last Tue. of every month
Most of what we know about Poetry at the 33 is that Kim Addonizio either used to hang out there or still does. That may sound like it isn't very much to go on, but Addonizio is one of the city's most underrated talents. She's a fucking genius, if you want to know the truth. If there's any... More >>

Baxtalo Drom Amnesia : 9:00 p.m. fourth Fri. of every month
If it's dancing girls you want, or if it's a dancing girl you are, Baxtalo Drom is your jam. Deep, deep in the steampunk jungle, this belly-dance-flavored club is rife with old-timey aesthetics, exposed tattooage, and feathers in hairdos. The evening is organized by the very pretty women of... More >>

Exploratorium After Dark Exploratorium : 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. first Thu. of every month
It’s been a while since adults were given dominion over the Exploratorium, and we’ve really missed it. “Home” is an apposite theme for the return of the museum’s After Dark, where science, music, and cocktails converge. It begins with behind-the-scenes tours of the... More >>

"Love Will Fix It" The Hot Spot : 10:00 p.m. second Sat. of every month
"It's no secret anymore! I've always been a little black girl trapped in the body of a big white bear — and now I'm letting her out!" says local disco DJ Bus Station John.

Presidio Park Stewards Multiple San Francisco Locations : 9:00 a.m. every Wed., Sat.; 10:00 a.m. every Sun.
Sometimes it seems like we have it so good around here. Even our volunteer work is relatively glamorous -- no working with corny religious charities for us!
