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).
Our heavily editorialized listings after the jump...
Friday Tits @ The Transfer
198 Church Street
10PM
Phil and Parker Day are throwing an Independence Day hoe-down replete with free forties of Old English. The giveaway sums up the crowd better than we ever could, expect scene fags and haircut dykes turning it out until communism is the new independence. $4.

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. Tonight: A 4th of July Spectacular with the one and only Raya Light.

Saturday
Bearracuda @ Deco
510 Larkin Street
10PM
If Pride left you dying to feel thin again, this is the event for you!

Plus, your hostess Rentecca turns the Deco lounge into a Compton all-girls club with her famous love of all things lady-gangsta!

Sunday
Garden of Ono @ Hotel Gansevoort 18 9th Avenue 6 PM - Midnight
Josh Wood, DJ Steve Travolta and hosts Nick Van Bremen and Erik Bottcher are bringing back this series of summer garden parties, on the roof in the Meat Packing District. Last year Michael Musto gushed it was "a big oh-yes," and though everyone in New York tires of things really quickly, Cuckoo Club still hasn't died so maybe this more mellow alternative won't either. Reserve a cabana ahead if you want to be fancy like that.
