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: First Ladies Night.

Friday & Saturday
Don’t miss the famed Purple Pre-Show, featuring Peaches, Martiny and Putanesca. And if you must, stay to watch Prince make cinematic herstory. But it’s so late by the time the pre-show’s over… unless you brought a flask you might just want to duck out before last call. Tix.

Mill Street & 4th
Guerneville, CA
The hirsute among us flock to this annual fur fest, which doesn’t include a bonfire this year but will include the late-night estate party. But there will also be plenty of drunk bears around the pool at the Triple R all weekend, drinking beer and letting their beards co-mingle.

Pride left you dying to feel thin again, this is the event for you!
Bearacudda’s “Under-bear Party” leaves yards and yards and yards of

Berkley’s come uptown with everyone else and hosts this weekly party
featuring Ginelle Gordon singing her ass off and a bunch of hotties

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.
