Tue 24 Jan
KLUBSTiTUTE/TrannyshackSTiTUTE
@ Center for Sex & Culture
and The Stud Bar
KLUBSTiTUTE Archive Show & Reunion Party
followed by TrannyShackSTiTUTE.
Sixteen years after opening an alternative club for wacky themed performances and imaginative explorations of creativity,
the klub kids gather again for two fun-filled events in San Francisco's seedy SOMA neighborhood.

HaveYouSeenMe?STiTUTE is an archive show, reunion party and media orgy
with performances (open to the public) at the Center For Sex & Culture.

Then stumble down the street to the Stud at 9th & Harrison for TrannyshackSTiTUTE
with crossover stars of both KLUBSTiTUTE & Trannyshack fame.  Re-defining who and what art is and can be has been a passion for many artists and performers in the underground scene of SF.
Sixteen years ago (1990) Diet Popstitute along with other members of the infamous Popstitutes opened KLUBSTiTUTE which begat PLAYSTiTUTE, The KLUBSTiTUTE KOLLECTiVE, The Virgin Queen Contest, PROMSTiTUTE, The Faux Queen Pageant and countless other tragedies infecting the stale nightlife and reinvigorating zany fun into the cold netherworld of Sodom by the Bay.
"The open mikes gave way to a mixture of rock bands, spoken word, DJ/dancing, theatrical productions, musical ensembles and zany theme nights. In no time the club became a favorite of queers, punks, literati, glitterati, differently gendered persons and political activists," says Alvin Orloff, aka DJ Alvin A-Go-Go and author of GutterBoy.
"One of my fondest memories was when Juanita MORE! got her new body suit and was running through the club as fast as she could looking naked with just a whisper of fabric and high heels. With a crowd that great the show was just icing on the cake," says Sister Kitty Catalyst OCP, uber-nun and homo-propagandist.
...
HaveYouSeenMe?STiTUTE will feature performances by 2005 Faux Queen Hoku Mama Swamp, Trixxie Carr, Bea Dazzler, Windy Plains, Cricket Bardot and femcee Anita Cocktail (more performers will be updated on our website) plus DJ Pusspuss and delightful refreshments.
$4.98 cheap! 9pm doors, 10pm show, Tue., Jan. 24,
at the Center For Sex & Culture,
398 11th St at Harrison.
...
Then stumble two blocks away for TrannyshackSTiTUTE. Crossover stars of both KLUBSTiTUTE & Trannyhack fame scheduled to perform include SupposiTori Spelling, Deena Davenport's tribute to Lois Turd 3000 with Johnny Kat & Timmy Spence, Ethel Merman, Princess Kennedy, Ruby Toosday and femceed by the effervescent Heklina and Deena Davenport. (more performers will be updated on our website) plus Door Mistress Chocolate and DJ Derek.
Show at midnight, $7 cover. The Stud, 9th & Harrison, SF [ near BAR office].

Robert Hofler
@ Main Library
The James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center at the SF Main Library presents author
Robert Hofler, who will share stories from his recently published book,
"The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson:
The Pretty Boys and the Dirty Deals of Henry Willson."

Hofler, a senior editor for Variety magazine, delves into the shadowy, sometimes seamy world of Hollywood dealmaking.
He also chronicles Willson's maneuvers to sidestep the FBI's investigation into Hudson's sex life; the starmaker's use of off-duty Los Angeles Police Dept. cops and mob ties to scare off Hudson's blackmailers; Hudson's "arranged" marriage to Willson's secretary, Phyllis Gates;
as well as Hudson's affair with a Universal Pictures vice president to help secure starring roles in "Magnificent Obsession" and "Giant".
Hofler's books will be available for sale and signing.  
Free.
6pm.

Jan. 27-28, SF:
electro-dances
for LOVE PARADE and SomArts

The San Francisco Late Night Coalition,
with numerous bay area electronic dance music collectives,
proudly invites you to participate in two huge parties supporting
Loveparade San Francisco 2006
http://www.loveparadesf.org
and the SomArts Cultural Center
http://www.somarts.org

Both events will be held at SomArts, 934 Brannan Street in San Francisco.

On Friday, January 27th, Skills DJ Workshop brings together 20 different production companies
and 50 DJs for "GIVING BACK THE LOVE".
This should be a rocking party showcasing
the exuberance and idealism of the
younger side of the bay area electronic dance scene.
The flyer and lineup can be seen at
http://www.skillsdj.com

On Saturday, January 28th, the more underground/burner
side of the scene will be out in force for a phat lineup of
house, breaks and trance organized by Opel Productions, Tantra and many other local collectives.
[.....]

The 2005 Loveparade was a great success with well over 50,000 people spreading the love
along Market Street and at Civic Center.
The costs of the city fees and personnel required for a downtown parade were huge however, so many groups are coming together to pay the remaining debt
so that Loveparade San Francisco 2006 can proceed full steam ahead! [.....]

The SomArts Cultural Gallery is a non-profit art gallery and event space that hosts many
seminal electronic dance and art parties [.....]
