Weekend Event Roundup: June 6-8

Friday

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.”)

Friday

Greg Araki Screening & Q&A @ BAM Rose Cinemas
30 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn
9:40 PM

Once called a “gay Thelma & Louise,” Gregg Araki’s film The Living End (which is being screened in a Remixed and Remastered version with a Q&A with Araki afterward) is a classic in what was once called New Queer Cinema.  We don’t even know what to call it now, and it doesn’t need categorization. Just know that two HIV positive fags kill a cop and go on the road with the motto “fuck everything.”

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.
