Chantey Sing
|
|
|
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 >> |

"2 Men Will Move You"
|
|
|
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....

Toshio Hirano
|
|
|
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 >> |

Vogue and Tone
|
|
|
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 >> |

Joe Goldmark & the Seducers
|
|
|
The Riptide's signature brick fireplace was veiled behind red velvet curtains on a recent Sunday night, but the Outer Sunset dive still carried the strong scent of burning embers from the night before. Most days the Taraval Street bar is the stamping ground for surfers, punks, and working-class... More >> |

"Punk Rock Sideshow"
|
|
|
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 >> |

"Dancing in the Dragon’s Jaws: Gay San Francisco, 1985-1988,"
|
|
|
In a short three year span, the first AIDS epidemic crashed into the Castro and completely disrupted the culture. Gay San Franciscans, and especially residents of the Castro, thought they had found the geographical answer to their struggle, but the crisis changed a safe space into one full of... More >> |

"That '80s Show"
|
|
|
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 >> |

"Peaches"
|
|
|
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 >> |

"Saturday Night Soul Party"
|
|
|
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 >> |

"Dub Mission"
|
|
|
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 >> |

"Love Will Fix It"

"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. Perhaps best known for his seamy, disco-driven Tubesteak Connection bathhouse revival parties, the past year has seen... More >> |

"The Dip"
|
|
|
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. Both involve a sweaty crowd whose mood and enjoyment are dependent upon the skillful decision-making of the professional at the front of the room.... More >> |

Presidio Park Stewards

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! (Even our religious charities are cool, as in Glide Church.) Instead, we can hoof it out to the gorgeous reclaimed military installation... More >> |
