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 >> |

Queer Dance Lessons
|
|
|
By the time you read this, the election will be over: You'll know whether Proposition 8 was defeated or not. Since we're writing this from the other side of the past, we're going to pretend that IT WAS DEFEATED! Yay! This leaves you with only one major problem: You have too many gay weddings to... More >> |

Hot Pocket
|
|
|
San Francisco quintet Hot Pocket, an offshoot of the 10-piece hip-hop and Latin funk outfit Bayonics, has built a solid following by filling bars across the city several times a week with its enormous repertoire of soul, funk, and hip-hop covers. We spoke briefly to lead vocalist and San... More >> |

Beginning Tribal Belly Dance
|
|
|
Jill Parker's Beginning Tribal Belly Dance classes are a classic San Francisco experience: They're welcoming, weird, diverse, sweaty, trance-inducing, and somehow simultaneously straight and gay. Some students love to feel they're in a place where it's OK to actually have a belly, some come to... More >> |

"The Booty Bassment"
|
|
|
Thank whatever cosmic entity you like that Booty Bassment is still going strong in San Francisco. While other mix masters may act like they'll bring some of your favorite guilty pleasure club bangers to their parties, only to wimp out when comes down to it, Bassment's resident DJs, Ryan Poulsen...

Quiet Lightning
|
|
|
In late 2010 we attended a reading we'll never forget. We didn't know it, but a madman was about to take the stage. Except he didn't take the stage. He hopped down off it, and immediately a dozen people rushed to form a semicircle around him on the floor. What came next was a controlled... More >> |

Daytime Realness
|
|
|
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... More >> |

Historical Tours of Cypress Lawn
|
|
|
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. A new, larger, cemetery was constructed in what is today Colma (the city whose motto is "it's good to be alive in Colma," due to the... More >> |

"Fringe"
|
|
|
Ever wish you were on the set of your favorite indie music video, dancing in a meadow with flowers and half-naked hipsters surrounding you? Well, good, we don't either. It's much more preferable to live out this indie dancing fantasy in a small club, where shots are pouring and pollen allergies... 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 >> |

"Tutu Tuesday"
|
|
|
Big-name DJs run the decks at this Burning-Man friendly dance party with the special dress code. Tutu Tuesdays is about two things: Tutus, and the number two. It's held every second Tuesday at the address 222, and it costs two dollars to get in. IF you're wearing a tutu, that is; the DJs are.... More >> |

"Hot Dogs & Asteroids"
|
|
|
In this shitty economy sometimes you have to choose between beer, rock 'n' roll, and dinner. Not tonight. At the monthly Hot Dogs & Asteroids event, the Casanova makes you pay for the booze, but the rock and the hot dogs are free. The "powerpop, bubbleglam, and punk 'n' roll" DJs... More >> |

Fauxgirls!
|
|
|
As far as we can tell, San Francisco's first drag bar was a happy accident — unofficial history holds that Joe Finocchio established his eventually world-famous "female impersonator" spot in 1936 after hearing a customer in his father's bar imitate Sophie Tucker, known for her risque... More >> |

"Dark Room"
|
|
|
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 >> |

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 >> |
