DEBAUCHERAMA IV - SF's Most Notorious & Decadent New Years Eve Party Returns!

2006-12-12T19:48:09Z

Sunday, December 31, 2006 marks the return of San Francisco's most decadent New Year's Eve party - Debaucherama!

Now in it's fourth year, this party keeps getting bigger, better, and more tempting. More and more people are drawn with each passing year by the infamous resolution-breaking contest and we fully expect this year's competition to continue this trend. This is a game where *losing* can be almost as fun as winning. The contest starts upon entry and finishes at roughly 1:30 a.m. At that time potential winners should make it to our theater/dungeon space to see if they've won our grand prize, which includes free entry to all of our events, including next year's Debaucherama, for a year!

Don't miss the spank-down at midnight. The absinthe. The champagne. The dancing. The flirting! The resolution breaking! The DEBAUCHERY!

All the dirty details will be on our web site until the party's over, but in order to stay informed of these updates, we encourage you to join our mailing list** . Tickets are ON SALE NOW online and will soon be available at Madame S in San Francisco.

We also recommend checking out our tribe (sinfusion.tribe.net) for conversations, questions, answers about this event. Most of the wicked plots being hatched by the promoters and the partygoers will be hatched there.

Finally, we've added Kitty's story our first year's event to whet your appetite. Kitty's has raised the bar each with her New Year's "spankdown" and we're sure she's got some sexy, twisted plan to raise it again this year. We can't wait to see what it is...

Dedicated to decadence,

Random & Unkle Paul

Cocktails & Jazz at Dance-Along Nutcracker Gala - Dec. 9

2006-12-01T07:19:40Z

If you want to hear some great holiday jazz music - live! - in a cocktail lounge-style setting, City Swing Big Band is performing at the Gala reception of the Dance-Along Nutcracker, 7 p.m., December 9 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

Gail Wilson, City Swing's mohagany-toned singer, has agreed to perform with the group one last time since she happens to be in town this month. So if you missed her sold-out farewell concert, here's your chance!

Following the reception is the main event, the Dance-Along Nutcracker itself, and Gail Wilson also plays the lead there - Clara Stahlbaum, who's all grown up and back to tell the true story behind the Nutcracker ballet. Music is performed by the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band, the 50-piece wind ensemble named the Official Band of the City of San Francisco. Daytime shows December 9 and 10 feature Dance-Along without reception.

It's a wonderful, fun, musical way to leap into the holidays.

Show URL: www.sflgfb.org/dancealong.html

Here's more info about the show:

The San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band presents

Big Band Singer Gail Wilson in

The 2006 Dance-Along Nutcracker®: CLARA-fied!

2:30 pm & GALA 7 pm, Saturday, December 9
11 am & 3 pm, Sunday, December 10

Guest Conductor, Bradley Connlain
Choreographer Carolyn Carvajal
Gala features City Swing with Gail Wilson
Box Office: www.yerbabuenaarts.org; 415/978-ARTS
Information: www.sflgfb.org/dancealong.html; 415/255-1355

The 2006 Dance-Along Nutcracker takes a zany romp through the Nutcracker story when Clara tells all about what really happened when Drosselmeyer visited for Christmas. Performed by the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band conducted by Bradley Connlain, the wackiest Nutcracker on earth stars big band singer Gail Wilson, choreographer Carolyn Carvajal and you!

Tired of letting professional dancers have all the fun? Described by the San Francisco Chronicle’s C.W. Nevius as “inspired foolishness, tomfoolery on a grand and witty scale,” the Dance-Along Nutcracker lets the audience concoct its own choreography beneath the colored spotlights. While the Band performs Nutcracker favorites like Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Waltz of the Flowers, sugar plum wannabes leap and pirouette about the dance floor. Tutu rentals and fairy wands are available for those with nothing to wear. Here, wallflowers have as much fun as dancers.

This year’s Dance-Along highlights include:

· Big band singer Gail Wilson returns to the Bay Area to star as Clara, who takes the audience on an offbeat turn down memory lane.

· Conducting the Band is Guest Conductor Bradley Connlain, band leader of City Swing and music director of more than 15 community musical productions around the Bay area.

· San Francisco Opera Ballet and San Francisco Ballet veteran Carolyn Carvajal choreographs the feature dance numbers and dances as Drosselmeyer and the Rat King.

· The Opening Night Gala features a cocktail party with dancing to the big band sound of City Swing fronted by Gail Wilson.

· Corinne Levy, dancer with Dance Through Time for 12 years and a veteran of Beach Blanket Babylon, returns to the Dance-Along Nutcracker to dance as Clara.

· All performances feature Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite and other music performed by the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band, the Official Band of the City of San Francisco.

I'm new to the tribe and wanted to say "hi" to everyone. I'm a wine afficianado> i've work in the hospitality for a few years but still follow my heart of a good class of wine. I went to the California Culinary Academy here in the city about 3 years ago and had moved to the city then. I love the cityit's such a cultural Mecca for Some the best food in the World. I've travelled to many different continents and I do have to say that our food here in this great city is some of the best. I would have to agree with the other intro as well. "Friends don't friends drink yellow beer". Guiness all the way.

Hey there! New to this tribe, so I thought I'd say Hi and introduce myself to y'all. Found I have a few mutual friends here, so I guess I figured I wouldn't feel too out of place if I joined-up.

I'm the head beverage tech for a local production house (amoungst my many hats) and I love spending good times with good friends and good liquid refreshments. One of my favorite mottos is: "Friends don't let friends drink yellow beer", so if you're planning an outting to an Irish pub, please count me in! :)

Hope to make more of your aquaintances' in the not-so-distant-future.

Here's to bread in a bottle!

Known as Time's Special Witness, 7th century Mayan prophet Pacal Votan left a universal message for future generations of an evolving Earth.

Proclaiming,"If Humanity Wishes To Save Itself From Biospheric Destruction It Must Return To Living in Natural Time," he foretold of our accelerated technological society, and the resulting damage of our collective divergence from Natural Law in exchange for materialist values.

Pacal Votan's prophetic call is alerting present-day humanity that our biological process is transforming, approaching the culmination of a 26,000 year evolutionary program. Bringing the return of universal telepathy, heightened sense capacity, and self-reflective consciousness, this is a return to the sacred domain of our inner technology.

This grand cycle of evolution will culminate
winter solstice, December 21, 2012 AD.
This time we are now in has been called "The Time of Trial on Earth," "Judgement Day," "The Time of Great Purification," "The End of this Creation," "The Quickening," "The End of Time as We Know It," "The Shift of the Ages." It is foretold that the completion of the Precession brings regeneration of Earth, offering awakening to all open, willing hearts. Many peoples spoke of these last days of the Great Cycle, including the: Maya, Hopi, Egyptians, Kabbalists, Essenes, Qero elders of Peru, Navajo, Cherokee, Apache, Iroquois confederacy, Dogon Tribe, and Aborigines.

As avid stargazers, the ancient Maya were keen to an astrological cycle we call the Precession of the Equinoxes. This is close to a 26,000 year cycle in which Earth transits through each of the 12 signs of the zodiac for about 2152 years each. Each of these astrological ages represents one month of the grand, Cosmic Year. Sumerians, Tibetans, Egyptians, Cherokees, Hopi, and Mayans refer to this same 26,000 year cycle in their mystical belief systems and each have developed calendars based on this great cycle.

The Maya messengers, reknowned for their architectural, artistic, mathematical and scientific achievements, left a calling card as a series of super-human sized stone monuments and pyramids with precise calendrical computations. Planted with great intention, these dates were left to ensure that future generations would be alerted to the coming end point of this great 26,000 year cycle. A cycle which corresponds also to a 26,000 year relationship of our Sun orbiting Alcyone, the central star of the 7 Sisters Pleiades constellation. According to the Maya, the "future" which lies beyond this end date is literally "a new world age" - "a new creation."

The 26,000 year cycle of the Homo Sapien's evolution and development is mirrored by the 260-day cycle of human gestation. Collective humanity is right now maturing into the being we have long been encoded to be. As with any labor, it is not the mother, or the baby, who is in charge - it is the primal process of Birth itself unfolding its own destiny.

Thus the December 21, 2012 AD is not the day where all of the sudden a light switch will flip on and everything will change, rather, we are NOW in the process of this transition from one World Age to the next. The changes are underway and will continue steadily accelerating as we head towards the culminating date!

The ancient Maya understood this 26,000 year cycle to be specifically composed of 5 lesser cycles, each 5,125 years each. Each of these 5 cycles was considered its own World Age or Creation Cycle. As depicted on the familiar, circular MesoAmerican Sun Stone, (often called the Aztec Calendar) each Creation Cycle is said to have been ruled and destroyed by one of 5 elements. Specifically, 4 Jaguar, 4 Wind, 4 Rain, 4 Water.

Our present great cycle (3113 B.C. - 2012 A.D.) is called the Age of the Fifth Sun. This time period is ruled by 4 Earth. This fifth age is the synthesis of the previous four. 4 Earth (called Caban in the Maya language and Ollin in Aztec) has several meanings, including: movement, shift, evolution, earthquake, navigation, synchronicity, clue tracking, turtle. In the Maya language, the word "ol" of ollin means consciousness.

In Mayan calendrics, the initial date that Earth entered the Fifth World was August 13, 3113 BC, written in Mayan long count notation as 13.0.0.0.0. Every day from that point was reckoned by the number of days passed since the event of this cosmic beginning point.

As Dr. Jose Arguelles writes in "Time and The Technosphere" -
"August 13, 3113 BC is as precise and accurate as one can get for a beginning of history: the first Egyptian dynasty is dated to ca 3100 BC; the first 'city,' Uruk, in Mesopotamia, also ca 3100 BC; the Hindu Kali Yuga, 3102 BC; and most interestingly, the division of time into 24 hours of 60 minutes each and each minute into 60 seconds [and the division of the circle into 360 degrees], also around 3100 BC, in Sumeria. If the beginning of history was so accurately placed, then must not the end of history, December 21, 2012 also be as accurate?"

(Sidenote: Regarding the World Age cycle we are closing in 2012 and the new World Age cycle to dawn, there are varying cosmologies as to whether we are closing the Fifth World and entering the Sixth, or closing the Fourth World and entering the Fifth. For example, In the perspective of the living Maya Timekeepers of Guatemala, calendrically speaking, each element has a 5,125 year cycle. They teach that we have been through fire, earth, air and water already. The next cycle (beginning Dec 21, 2012) will be ether - the Fifth Age - the Age of Center. Likewise, the Hopi teach we are closing the Fourth World of Destruction, and preparing to begin the Fifth World of Peace. Regardless of the title given, what is clear is that we are on poised on the brink of a World Age Rebirth!)

Within the 5,125 year cycle lies 13 smaller cycles, known as the "13 Baktun Count," or the "long count." Each baktun cycle is 394 years long, or 144,000 days. Each baktun was its own historical epoch or Age within the Great Creation Cycle, carrying a specific destiny for the evolution of those who incarnated in each baktun. For example, almost all of the Mayan inscriptions were seeded precisely during Baktun 9 (435-830 AD). This era is known as the time of the Classic Maya. After this point, around 830 A.D., the great Mayan centers were abandoned and their thriving culture mysteriously disappeared. To this day, no one can verify or prove why they left or where they went.

The Classic Maya of Baktun 9 were of a specific destiny, distinct from Maya of other times. As Dr. Jose Arguelles writes, "In 830 A.D. the engineering team departed back to space, back to the other dimensions from which the Maya keep their watch on things. Slowly the terrestrial Maya melted back into the jungles. The time of darkness was setting in. Sure enough the conquerors came. By 830 A.D. Warrior tribes who took the ancient name of Toltec, which means Master Builder, entered the Yucatan. War and human sacrifice were introduced."

Earth and her inhabitants are currently travelling through the 13th baktun cycle - the final period of 1618-2012 AD. This cycle is known both as "the triumph of materialism" and "the transformation of matter." The Maya predicted this final baktun would be a time of great forgetting in which we drift very far from our sense of Oneness with Nature and experience a kind of collective amnesia. Like a memory virus in which we begin to believe the limited reality of appearances and grow dense to the spiritual essence which fuels this world, so humanity's sense of ego and domination has grown.

We entered this baktun cycle right after establishing the world wide coordination of Pope Gregory XIII's 12 month calendar system (1582) as well as the perfection of 12 hour 60-minute mechanical clock (1600), which had been evolving for centuries. These are no small matters. According to Valum Votan, these 2 instruments are what manifested humanity's "error in time" which is the following of artificial instruments of time that served to separate man apart from the rest of nature, operating by our own false timing frequency, to the detriment of the natural world.

The Gregorian calendar is not based on logic, science, or nature. It denies and covers up the true annual human biological cycle conserved in the body of woman. It is the current world standard because of the forceful issuance of this system upon conquered (indigenous) peoples who lost their land as well as their religious freedoms. The Gregorian calendar is a product of its predecessors - Julius Caesar's calendar and the earlier Roman Empire calendar.

The clock was the first existing machine - going on to become the heart of all machine technology to come.

The presence of the clock gave birth to the notion that time lies outside our bodies - that it can be tracked by a machine, and that we can sit and watch it "fly" by tick-tock as though it is something linear, containable, and separate from the organic, flowing process of life. The adherence to the clock for our sense of time and timing is noted as the greatest obstacle to allowing the full telepathic abilities of the human to flower.

Next came the Cartesian Coordinate Rectilinear Grid System (1637) which went on to establish the foundational platform of all modern math and science. Thanks to Rene Descartes (the man infamous for his quote "I think therefore I am,") the ceiling of perception validated only the reality of the 3 dimensions of physical space. The coordinates of X,Y, and Z rendered the fourth dimension obsolete from our worldview.

At that moment, time became reduced from its qualitative essence to that of a quantity. The mind who adopted the lens of the linear grid also adopted the limited perception of time as a 3rd dimensional linear progression of pure duration.

Our societal paradigms have continued to operate with these limitations in place. Thus if something can not be seen, touched, or proven with measurements, it does not, in effect, exist.

Through the Cartesian lens, Nature has become reduced to pure quantifiable resources - no longer a living qualitative aspect of ourselves, but now something outside of ourselves which we observe, analyze and ultimately come to replicate, manipulate, dominate, toxify, and even destroy or extinguish. As Rene Descartes stated plainly,"I perceived it to be possible to arrive at knowledge highly useful in life...and thus render ourselves the lords and possessors of nature."

It seems the modern world wants nothing more than to improve upon Nature, or at least extract her wisdoms and magical properties in order to make a buck by fulfilling increasing consumer demand.

And so, here we are - currently living the last 7 years of both a 5,125 year Creation Cycle, and the last 8 years of a 26,000 Grand Cycle, the Precession of the Equinoxes.

The coming end date of December 21, 2012 is also written as 13.0.0.0.0. in Mayan long count notation; just like the beginning date.

Scholar and author John Major Jenkins reports,"On 13.0.0.0.0, the December solstice sun will be found in the band of the Milky Way. We can call this an alignment between the galactic plane and the solstice meridian. This is an event that has slowly converged over a period of thousands of years, and is caused by the precession of the equinoxes. The place where the December solstice sun crosses the Milky Way is precisely the location of the "dark-rift in the Milky Way...'xibalba be' - the road to the underworld."

On the winter solstice of 2012, the noonday Sun exactly conjuncts the crossing point of the sun's ecliptic with the galactic plane, while also closely conjuncting the exact the center of the galaxy.

Jenkins further proposes that this grand cross in time is symbolized by the Mayan Tree of Life, found at the core of Mayan cosmology.

We are being invited to realize that we are Time. We are the Living Prophecy. The Synchronic Order of Natural Time governs the unfolding of our lives. Time's cycles are found within our bodies and within Nature's daily rhythms and cyclic seasons. We have forgotten this, thinking that time is money or that time is the clock, or the relentless progression of work weeks and weekends. Time is the ever-changing, unfolding Now as it synchronistically coordinates the Whole living Universe.

From his studies into ancient Mayan Time-Science, Dr. Jose Arguelles decoded the mathematical nature of the Synchronic Order,
The Law of Time:
There is only one timing frequency which unifies the whole galactic order from its largest constituent to its smallest. This timing frequency is the 13:20 ratio, found within the harmonic structure of the 13 moon calendar as well as our human bodies - our 13 main joints and 20 fingers and toes.

Knowing that we are the prophecy, what does it mean to be nearing this return, and what can we expect - personally as well as planetarily?

These times are so accelerated that no answer could encompass the vast implications of the phase we are in. A range of responses are available to us. Depending on who you talk to and what area you research, one can find all kinds of claims as to what can be expected. From cataclysm to enlightenment, world war to world peace, massive earth changes and physical destruction, to massive spiritual awakening to our inherent oneness, there are many views of the implications of the approaching year 2012, 2013, and beyond. One thing is clear - we are right in the thick of this critical, transformative period! As this date approaches, we are collectively in a transition phase of the old world dying and a new world being born.

This moment on Earth, with all of its heightened energies, has never existed before. The opportunities and challenges of today's world are the climax of all that has preceded us. Never before has the population of this planet increased by 216,000 people a day! Never before has the Earth's biosphere been in such a precarious state. That which seems like normal lifestyle decisions and behaviors are but precedents set by our modern standards - not necessarily reflecting the most balanced, healthy, or sane way to operate. It is for us to decipher how to live our lives with integrity; to determine what truths empower us to model our lives according to our greatest harmonious potential.

All that is manifesting on the inner and outer planes reflects the sacred intensity of these prophetic times. More than ever, the polarities and imbalances within us and around us are becoming clearer. Love, beauty, exuberance, and compassion permeate this world - multi-faceted victories of art, co-creation, community support, healing and evolution shine all around us, illumating the spirited grace of our true nature. Meanwhile, this world is steeped in fear, brutality, pain, and disease - endless anguish of anxiety, separation, disconnection, confusion, isolation - alongside the toxic realities of egoic, callous greed and corruption, materialism, addiction, and dangerous ignorance. This is now the time to embrace all that has been dishonored or denied, for it is emerging to be purified and sanctified. Accountability is required on all levels of our existence. The cosmic climate is changing at rapid rates, allowing us to now transduce and shed egoic programs of fear and limitation easier than in the past.

Science reveals that Earth's base resonant frequency is increasing (Earth's heart-beat), and that the magnetic fields of the planet are dropping - reflected in the shifting migration patterns of animals. These shiftings of the Earth's body allow us to release unwanted baggage - mental, physical and emotional patterns, conditioning, beliefs, attitudes, and programming. Simultaneously, that which we think or desire is becoming actualized more and more swiftly.

A peak point in this time on Earth is what's called the "transition of the biosphere into the no-osphere." According to Russian scientist V.I.Vernadsky,"This is the result of a climax of human self-reflective thought and industry upon the environment, resulting in an exponential change in consciousness in which all becomes revealed and known."

As many of us are well aware, much of the genetic potential we are born with is lying dormant within us, waiting to be turned on. This is definitely an important aspect of this time of Quickening. We can only imagine what the full activation of our DNA will allow us to accomplish and manifest for Planetary healing and restoration. It has been foretold that we will be able to transmute the problems of our 3rd dimensional physical reality by utilizing our own stored, internal technology. More and more this is happening.

Now in action is the worldwide grassroots movement which utilizes sound vibrations to clear pollution and (geopathic) earth stresses, producing amazing results. www.earthtransitions.com. Using the ancient sciences of focused prayer and intention, channeled through post-Tesla energy technology, toxic matter is being transformed.

The time has never been so ripe to realize eachother as "one planetary organism in contact with itself anywhere on the planet." The Emergence of our Empowered Potential, Our Divinity is presenting itself to be claimed. How to experience this reality consciously? Where-ever one looks, the universal answer points to one's own body, one's own mental attitude, the energy of one's own heart, one's own living breath as the beginning place of orientation to feel one's unique connection to and expression of the functioning of Totality.

As the frequencies continue to raise, our connection to the fourth dimension continues to rapidly increase. This allows for maximum transformation and mutation of who we are and how we live life, or how life lives us! Doors of opportunity ever-presenting themselves, any limit we might place upon what's possible in these next 7 years is not recommended. Let us instead Dream the Exaltation of Humanity and all of Life on Earth.

Returning to Natural Time

Valum Votan, "Closer of The Cycle" - final messenger of Pacal Votan's prophecy, prescribes the fulfillment of human destiny as a collective return to natural time via the synchronization of the 13-moon 28-day calendar. Using this harmonic, ancient, and accurate standard of measure, we make a whole-systems transition into conscious resonance with our living universe.

In these intense times of uncertainty, we need all the navigational assistance possible for our everyday consciousness to be in harmony with Earth. The 13 Moon calendar helps us re-harmonize our bodies and minds to the natural patterns and cycles of the Earth and Stars.

Learning a new calendar may seem hard or even intimidating, but this is the time to try something new. As Valum Votan states, "It's the untried solution; the harmonic solution." What we're being asked to do is let go of what has been common for so long - the irregularity of the 12-month calendar - and embrace the accuracy of the 13-moon calendar.

Overlayed upon the perfect framework of the 13 moon year, is another layer of natural time - the "sacred count of days," a cycle of 260-days which flows through the year, giving each day a unique "Galactic Gateway." This sacred cycle composed of 260 distinct energies is called the Galactic Spin cycle. As a modern version of the ancient Mayan Tzolkin, it puts us directly in touch with the creational energies which compose our inner and outer world.

The benefit of utilizing this harmonic module (Tzolkin) is that it serves as a clear map of the 260 energetic portals of self inquiry which assist our quickening. As we use these lenses to see deeper into ourselves, we come to know the purpose which every moment holds. We come to hear the guidance which calls to us in every interaction of our lives. We perceive the clues which are waiting to bestow information. The more we surrender into the natural flow of life's timing, the more directly we are informed by time as the universal frequency of synchronization.

The source of these calendar codes is the "Dreamspell" - the modern application of ancient Mayan time-science, brought to us by Dr. José and Lloydine Argüelles. As a tool of synchronization, unification, and telepathic development, by speaking a language of light, this template unites us in a harmony which transcends our language barriers. By following the 13-Moon Natural Time Calendar, every day we meet eachother in the consciousness of the energy and sacred symbol of the day.

Rather than labeling today's date as:
"Thursday, December 22, AD two-thousand-and-five,"
to a growing global population who tracks the Dreamspell count, today is:
"Red Rhythmic Skywalker, Gamma Rhythmic 10, Year of the Yellow Cosmic Seed."

It is beneficial to come together and dicuss what it means to live by these cycles, and how to enhance our connections and share resources!

The "Dreamspell" is subtitled "Timeship Earth 2013." If we understand that Time refers to the fourth dimension of Mind which governs third dimensional space, (Intention preceding manifestation), then what if we translate this as "Mindship Earth 2013?" As humans all over the planet unite through this synchronization tool, we are in fact linking minds over the next 7 years, and beyond. Perhaps the design and the quality of the Ship of 2013 will reflect the consciousnesses of those minds who have linked up! All aboard!

"The purpose of the 13-moon calendar is to assist in converting third-dimensional materialism into the fourth-dimensional rainbow nation."
-The Dreamspell
"Like the Maya who preceded us, we shall understand that the path to the stars is through the senses and that the proper utilization of our mind as the auto-regulatory control factor will help facilitate the passage to different levels or dimensions of being." -José Argüelles

This prophecy is unfolding, right now!
As Valum Votan said: "We are the Peacemakers we've been waiting for!"

All that has been unconscious is becoming conscious.

May Our Paths Be Illumined By The Highest Light Of The Creator That We May Live In Harmony With All Our Relations, In Service to the Whole.

Personal and Planetary awakening is here, now.
As Werner Erhardt says:
"Now is when it is. Here is where it is. You are what it is. Celebrate!"

Drink here Sat March 4

2006-02-28T09:04:57Z

Club GOSSIP is a once a month 80s new wave video party every first Saturday of the month. It is the only club in the Bay Area that you can dance along with/to your favorite 80s videos. One room is devoted entirely to videos that accompany the 80s hits as you used to see them on MTV a long long time ago. With two huge video screens and an inexhaustible and totally awesome library of the authentic 80's videos, Club Gossip is quickly becoming one of the more prominent parties.

Each month is dedicated to a memorable 80s figure or party theme of some sort. Examples of past tributes are Madonna, Smiths/Morrissey, Prince, Soft Cell and George Michael, with a future tribute to Ian Curtis and Joy Division in the month of May. When featuring an artist, they play more than the usual amount of songs by that artist, but do not bore the whole party with nothing but the featured artist. A Video Montage courtesy of Channel One Video adds to the ambiance of the theme in the front room.

Club Gossip was started by Randy (of Rocket) and Damon (of Bondage-a-Go-Go and 1984). They wanted to create a party that did something new and fun that everyone could enjoy. They strive every month to provide their clientele with a wide range of rotating guest star DJ's, like Gina Shock (of the Go-Go's), Low Life (New Wave City), Nako (Popscene and Shutter), and Omar (Leisure and Shutter) so the playlist never gets stale or tired. The resident DJ's, Damon, Melting Girl (Death Guild and 1984), and Shon (Rocket) play their favorite 80's New Wave music in a unpretentious manor all the while keeping the dancefloor plenty busy.

The Cat Club hosts this party every first Saturday of the month. There are two rooms of dancing, two full bars, and a smoking area. In addition, there are monthly drink specials. The clientele ranges from gay, straight, bi, and tranny. The party is not geared to anyone specific, just for everyone to enjoy. The rooms fill up fairly quickly, we think being free before 10pm has something to do with that, yet the crowd is so congenial that you can easily maneuver through the crowd, people are pretty kind and respectful at Club GOSSIP.

The March 4 Club GOSSIP, the General Manager of Cat Club, Randy, will be celebrating 2nd 30th birthday. Full disclosure, he like to get crazy on his birthday, so watch out.

Saturday March 4th Club Gossip presents: ICONS

Tribute 2:
Erasure/Bronski Beat/Morrissey /Queen/Judas Priest/
George Michael/Boy George
Paying homage to the queer artists of the 80s

VJ's Damon, Tim & Shon
DJ's Melting Girl and Special Guest Omar

Tired of watching VH1 I love the 80s, come and experience it!

Honky/The Barfeeders today @ Bender's 7:00 pm

Honky is playing at Bender's (19th and South Van Ness)
Happy Hour with The Barfeeders
$3.00
7:00 pm.

Www.honky.net
Www.myspace.com/honky

Led by ex-Butthole Surfer J.D. Pinkus, with Bobby Ed Landgraf (Godzilla Motor Company, Blowfly) and Kenny Wagner (Sixty Watt Shaman, Halfway To Gone).

"The arrival of Honky comes as a welcome slap in the face of canned music and its robotic consumers. This messed-up, tore-down Texas trio churns out a marvelously basic, dirty, stoner-rock grind, all industrial- strength riffs and delightfully sleaze-slanted lyrics... Honky's dog-eared, dopey brand of rock atmospherics is a propitious reminder of how forceful a simple dose of regressive, scabby rock & roll can be."
L.A. Times

THE BARFEEDERS
Alcohol…Good God…Alcohol is probably responsible for this entire mess. Without alcohol it’s doubtful The Bar Feeders would speak to one another very often. Without alcohol they wouldn’t play so obnoxiously fast .(It’s a little known fact that they do so only to hide the endless mistakes and fuck-ups that invariably materialize as a result of their refusal to perform in a state even remotely resembling sobriety.) Without alcohol they would never have forged that kind of indestructible bond that can only come to be when three judgment impaired musicians get loaded and climb to the top of the Bay Bridge at 2am and spend the rest of the night wondering how the hell to get down. Without alcohol they would surely lack the sufficient social skills to hand out fliers or make friends who would come see them play.

FunkyCozy Halloween SF ‘05, Sat, Oct 29th w Scarlett Etienne - Free!

2005-10-27T22:12:37Z

San Francisco’s best Halloween party is back for another year of madness. This year, we’re kicking it up another notch and bringing New York based Scarlett Etienne in on the fun!

As usual, no cover, and maybe we won’t kick you out if you’re not in costume, but what fun would that be? Get yourself an outfit and join the party. Don’t be that guy or girl who says “Damn, I wish I had dressed up.” Be the one who says, “Damn! I got the best outfit here!” Let’s see some crazy costumes!!

So, who is Scarlett Etienne? If you haven’t heard of Scarlett by now, then you don’t know what you’ve been missing. She’s toured all over the world, from Asia to Ibiza to all over the United States, while calling New York home. When we heard Scarlett would be in town, we jumped at the chance to bring her to FunkyCozy, and we know you’ll be as excited as we are by the time Saturday rolls around.

From her website:

Diversity is the heart of Scarlett’s sound. Her style can be described as electro-progressive with a funky and melodic edge. At only 23 years of age, Scarlett has acquired a unique, cultured appreciation and understanding of dance music and continues to make her impact on the underground house scene on a global level. While not working hard on the road, she is working diligently at home in her Pro-Tools project studio, continuing her quest to find expression through innovative new sounds.

For you curious peeps, you can listen to a set of Scarlett’s right here and find more information about her on her website at http://www.scarlettetienne.com

WHO: Scarlett Etienne and the Funky Cozy Crew (Sinukus, Jonathan Beech, and Tim McCormack)

WHEN: Saturday, October 29, 2005 from 9pm to 2am

WHERE: Anu Bar, 43 Sixth St.

No cover

How do you know if you are an alcoholic?

2005-10-16T12:22:26Z

This is not a dig on anyone. This is a personal question.

I drink a glass a wine about every other night during the week. Grew up CA and my parents always drank wine with dinner, no big deal. However when I go out I like to get wasted. I really love to get drunk.

I have been gone traveling in Africa and Asia for the past 16 months and last weekend was my first reuniting with my friends. Well 2 of them think I am an alkie. I don't feel like an alcoholoic. It does not interfere with my life but as I said when I go out I love to get drunk. I got a lecture this morning from a friend who barely drinks about my beverage consumption at the Burning Man decom party on SUnday.

Yes I get messy but it did not affect her and she does not need to baby sit nor did she. Infact she called yesterday saying she had a great time until she spoke with another friend.

She gets on these rampages where she calls me an alcoholic. I tell her that we have been hanging out for 15 years Step and this is nothing new. I guess maybe she thought I would "grow up" by now.

Anyway how do you guys handle friends like this.

Cheers,
Jennell

This is an interactive class with a happy hour feel.

HOW IT WILL WORK:

From 7:15-7:45 you'll learn how to make the drinks listed sbove.

We'll set up a "speed bar" station in the room where you can try to make the featured cocktails above. Think about it. You, other "students" and a hot bartender shaking, stirring and mixing.

By 8:00 the lessons/sampling portion will be done and you'll have another 45 minutes or so to sample the featured drinks, talk and mingle.

UNjaded: drinking in Berkeley this Saturday night!

2005-09-02T07:03:10Z

I'm not going to Burning Man, and school just started. I'm in the east bay, and I don't want to cross the bridge. What to do on a Saturday night...

Go to UNjaded!

UNjaded is the east bay's newest night club, located in the luxuriant Lucre Lounge. We have opulent velvet settees, an alluring dance floor, and a full bar with wicked drink specials. Every Saturday we're spinning the most decadent 80s, New Wave, Old School, Dance Macabre, and Dirty Blues. We have silent projected movies and cookies. Here's the best part:

NO COVER.

Yes, you get in for free. That's like getting your first drink for free. Come out; laugh, dance, drink. Then drink some more.

UNjaded
At The Lucre Lounge
2086 Allston Way @ Shattuck in Berkeley
Near BART and parking

FunkyCozy @ Anu SF Sat 27th w Sasha Navarro + more

2005-08-24T02:39:14Z

FunkyCozy @ Anu SF Sat 27th 9pm-2am - International Invasion!!!

We have a super line up coming in from all parts of the globe for this month’s FunkyCozy on Saturday, August 27th. Joining us are Sasha Navarro (PlayCo Music), Clare Large (IntelligentAudio.com/Globalscape.ca) and Domingo Castillo. We’ll cover all bases from sweet funky downtempo to electro breaks and banging house. We'll be kicking things off early @ 9pm with some promo CDs and free champagne to get you in the mood for the mayhem to come (add to this the rumor that Tim McCormack had to buy a new suitcase in London for all the new records he bought, and we should have a great night!).

Dirty drum patterns, funky basslines and trippy-techy soundscapes are a few words that describe Sasha Navarro’s style. Sasha has mesmerized audiences all over the world alongside some of the top talent in the industry such as Lee Burridge, Jimmy Van M., Marco, Lenzi, and Kazell. She helped form Play Co. with her long time friends and spinning mates, Hac Le, Tyrel Williams, and Caliendo, where they are nurturing the local underground scene in Chicago as well as working on musical productions. Currently acting as the PA to DJ legend Damien Lazarus of Cross Town Rebels in the UK - expect some very sneaky unreleased and original tracks.

Clare Thwaite aka Clare Large is currently on a North American tour. With an array of styles she is equally as comfortable playing downtempo as she is electro and house. She has played all over the UK and Ibiza and is now bringing her unique style to SF.

Domingo Castillo is one of the best hidden downtempo producers around. Coming in from Miami as a last minute addition to the lineup we had to have him come lay down some tunes!

Be sure to get there early, ‘cause trust us when we say the 27th will be another one of those “one for the ages” nights!

Club GOSSIP
September 10, Saturday
An 80's New Wave Nightclub for dancing and your entertainment
At the Cat Club, every second Saturday in San Francisco

This month, a tribute to more than a man, or just a symbol, but both! Whatever you may call him, can we suggest 'Purple one', Prince has left his indelible mark on the music landscape. From his really early funky-pop, to the more slick and cohesive '1999' and the musical spectacular of his 'Purple Rain' era majesty, what really seemed to confuse folks was the name change to a symbol, 'the artist formerly known as prince' became the proper way to refer to the man now that his name was an unpronounceable symbol. It just left many of us bemused, did it not?

Join us as we try to make sense of it all, come down and enjoy the music videos we like to play for you, and yes, there will be a heavier dose of Prince videos than usual. We've been busy shopping for even MORE VIDEOS than before, and we're spending too much time watching them at home. We can hardly wait to share them with you all. Be sure to check out all the DJ's this month, all are really talented in their own way, I think it's our best lineup yet, we are confident you will agree.

Saturday September 10th & Every second Saturday
The DJ lineup this month is...
DJ Damon from 1984
DJ Low Life from New Wave City
DJ SHON from Heavy Petting
DJ Melting Girl from Death Guild

80's, New Wave, Nu New Wave in two rooms
Music videos in the back, Visuals in the front
Visual stimulation by Channel One
9:30p - 3a $6 21+ Free before 10p
