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.

Rentboy.com is having a party at the Endup tonight, along with some bears, because of the unique confluence of GayVN Award Weekend and International Bear Rendezvous weekend in SF.

Saturday

The GayVN Awards @ The Gift Center
888 Brannan Street

6 PM red carpet, show at 7 PM

We’ve made no secret about how unthrilled we are to be attending, but hey! Maybe you love the porn so much you’re willing to shell out the money for a ticket and suffer through hours of snappy patter from Derek & Romaine.

Olafur Eliasson: Take Your Time @ SFMoMA
151 3rd Street
11 AM – 5:45 PM (museum hours)

You might be in from out of town for the GayVN’s and want to do something culturally redeeming before you leave (besides, um, a porn awards show), or you might just be a local deciding to get stoned to ease your way out of that hangover. In either case, drag your ass over to MoMA before next Sunday to see this swell series of installations, which take up the whole top floor.

Saturday

Cock Fight @ The Cock
29 2nd Avenue
