 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...

a hike if you don't live in the Russian Hill/Nob Hill/'Loin vicinity,
but this rock-centric drag show hosted by the ever-soused Anna Conda beat out Trannyshack last year for best drag show. Tonight: Monster Show Invasion Co-Hosted by Cookie Dough

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

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. DJs Lee
Decker and Luke Fry will be spinning, and there's 2 for 1 vodka
cocktails before 10:30, c/o 42 Below.

And as with all Midnight Masses, you're there for the pre-show and the first half hour of the movie, tops. Only the hardcore cult movie people stay for the whole thing.

Saturday
The Big Time @ The Ritz
369 W 46th Street
We
think the name of DJ JonJon Battles new party at The Ritz is probably
meant ironically, or it's a reference to the Peter Gabriel song.
Anyway, try to stay clear of that narrow-ass corridor and enjoy the
electro-pop goodness while sipping that low-carb vodka soda.

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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
