Care of The Sword's tireless editors, we bring you this roundup (by
no means complete, or even-handed) of stuff going on for those of the
homo persuasion this weekend in the two meccas we currently have
bandwidth to cover, San Francisco and New York. Check back soon to see
us cover more gay urban centers near you (sorry, Cheyenne, we may never
get to you).

Charlie Horse @ The Cinch
1723 Polk Street (bet. Clay & Washington) 10 PM, show at midnight
It's
a hike if you don't live in the Russian Hill/Nob Hill/'Loin vicinity,
but it beat out Trannyshack last year for best drag show, and it's at a
bar that is sort of country-western themed but also has a ceiling
covered in colored in those multicolored Mexican paper flags.

Saturday
Collide @ Club 222 222 Hyde Street 10PM This place used to be The Blackhawk Jazz Club and now has homemade pizza, Pilsner Urquell tallboys and a basement dancefloor. It's in the middle of the crackiest part of the Tenderloin, and it may not have taken off yet exactly but you always gotta work to find the coolest parties in town. Expect the crowd to thicken around 12 (Also, it's not gay exactly... their MySpace lists itself as "Bi.")
