Hey! It's Pride weekend in Boston and DC, but we haven't really gotten to covering them places yet. So here's a quick roundup of some recommended venues for getting super drunk and slutty this weekend in the two meccas we call home, San Francisco and New York.
Our heavily editorialized listings after the jump...
Friday
The Rod @ Deco Lounge
510 Larkin Street
10PM
DJ
Bus Station John spins his vintage underground best for the hip kids.
The wet jockstrap contest at midnight isn't aging terribly gracefully,
but it's still a decent diversion after one's eighth vodka tonic...more

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
9PM - 2AM DJ's Richie Panic and Jeffrey Paradise spin their
eclectic-electro-punk-dancey best at this weekly hipster haven where
you're just as likely to make out with a gay boy wearing a kaffiyeh as
you are to get elbowed by a baby-dyke with lipstick smeared all over
her face. ...read more

The Hot Boxxx Girls @ Aunt Charlie's Lounge
133 Turk Street
10 PM til late
Get
your dollar bills ready and get there early (they've been turning folks away lately) as the girls pull out all the stops-and at
least five costume changes apiece-at this old-school dragztravaganza.
Tips are a definite must and Gina LaDivina is sure to blow you away. $5 ... read more

9PM
Let's
just say that there are a lot of polo shirts and
while we're totally cool with that and lots of pretty boys were wearing
them, it can be a little unnerving. Their tagline, oddly, is "Upscale,
Downlow," even though there's nothing really down-low about it. Oh, and Siegfried was there last week. Nuff said.... $3 at the door.

Friday
Bloc Party @ Easternbloc
505 East 6th Street
This
is one of our favorite gay bars in New York: the music's good, the boys
are hip, the bartenders are cute and it's the kind of come-as-you-are,
non-BnT booze fest Manhattan needs more of. ... read more

curve in bringing the dirtiness back to gay life in the late 90s ...read more
