Outdoor Exploratorium Fort Mason : Daily
Did you know that when the Golden Gate Bridge gets hot, it sits low in the saddle? Course you didn’t: You don’t have a Bridge Thermometer, which looks like one of those scenic coin-op binoculars crossed with a first-person shooter. Peer into it (no coin needed!) and it shows the... More >>

The Business: A Comedy Show Dark Room Theater : 8:00 p.m. every Wed.
Four comedians anchor the weekly stand-up show The Business, and they’re all extremely smart and funny. Alex Koll has dramatic hair on his face and head, Sean Keane is bringin’ self-deprecation back, and Chris Garcia is mean and angry, yet somehow also gentle. But we bet they all hate... More >>

Hot Pocket Pier 23 Cafe : 4:00 p.m. third Sun. of every month

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 >>

Historical Tours of Cypress Lawn Cypress Lawn : 1:30 p.m. third Sat. of every month
When the Laurel Hill Cemetery fell into disrepair in the late nineteenth century, a new resting place had to be found for the roughly 35,000 people buried there.

"The Bump" John Colins : 10:00 p.m. third Sat. of every month
While many students work their way through college serving coffee or giving lap dances, Julio Galvez, aka The Whooligan, spent his years rubbing shoulders with Ghostface Killah and hosting hip-hop appearances at S.F's Amoeba Music. Already a budding DJ and producer, he found his push to fame... More >>

"Punk Rock Sideshow" Hemlock Tavern : 10:00 p.m. every Mon.
You can blame Al Gore for the dearth of quality punk rock in the jukeboxes of America. Not because of his li'l censor-happy P.M.R.C. wife (who's done plenty of damage, no doubt), but because Al had to go and invent the internet. What a bum! Even dives with great jukes are phasing out their... More >>

"That '80s Show" Madrone Art Bar : 9:00 p.m. third Fri. of every month
If the 20th Century is far too futuristic for you already, settle back into the '80s, and all its hip-hop glory, at That '80s Show. Bomb Hip-Hop DJs Dave Paul and Jeff Harris spin from the golden era of beats and emcees, or, as they put it, "Cabbage Patch Kids, Rubik's Cube, Live Aid,... More >>

"The Booty Bassment" The Knockout : 10:00 p.m. third Sat. of every month
Thank whatever cosmic entity you like that Booty Bassment is still going strong in San Francisco.

"Saturday Night Soul Party" Elbo Room : 10:00 p.m. third 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 >>

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 >>

"Radical Vinyl: Gay/Not Gay" El Rio : 9:00 p.m. every Mon.
No other sexually ambiguous club night wears its Kierkegaardian handle quite as well as Gay/Not Gay.

"Peaches" Skylark Bar : 10:00 p.m. every Thu.
Ever since she was a child, Bay Area DJ ThatGirl has been interested in street art and its connection to the hip-hop movement. However, it wasn't until she attended a rave in 1997 that she discovered her desire to channel this creativity into music, most notably turntablism. She soon purchased... 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 >>

Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg Contemporary Jewish Museum : Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until September 8
Just as he was finding his voice, and as The Beat Generation was swelling up around him, Allen Ginsberg began to take photographs of his friends — portraits that attempted to contain the integrity of each subject as well as an intimate moment between them.

"Dub Mission" Elbo Room : 9:00 p.m. every Sun.
DJ Sep Ghadishah has put on the Sunday night Dub Mission party at the Elbo Room for more than 15 years. As local club nights go, that's kind of insane; most survive for only a fraction of that time. But through consistent bookings, DJ Sep has managed not only to keep Dub Mission alive, but to... 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 >>

"The Dip" John Colins : 10:00 p.m. third Fri. of every month
According to San Francisco-based hip-hop DJ Ryan Nolan, aka Ry Toast, her two professions of DJing and yoga instructor really aren't that different.

Daytime Realness El Rio : 3:00 p.m. third Sun. of every month
We always think about drag performers when we hear Gillian Welch's song "Barroom Girls." Especially the part that goes, "She tosses and turns because the sun is unkind." Because holy shit, when you're not sure if your tuck is tight enough, or whether your beard's growing through your... More >>

"Dark Room" Cafe Du Nord : 9:30 p.m. last Sat. of every month
With so much focus on larger venues, it can be easy to lose sight of the local scene. Dark Room is a monthly descent into all things dark, freaky, and high concept. Located at an under-the-radar bar called Hot Spot, the party "blends vintage and new dark electro, punk, industrial, gothic, and... More >>
