San Francisco events...
On Thursday, The League of Pissed Off Voters presents Hustle for Change, a night of progressive hop hop and politics, with poets from PoorMagazine.com, DJs, live graffiti art, and more.
This Saturday is the Dhamaal 2006 Kickoff... two floors of world music, beats and breaks, live tabla, video DJs, and who knows what else. Green and I should be there, and perhaps Zak and.. maybe you?
Kickin, and this is just the pre-party for their 3rd annual month long Sights and Sounds festival in March.
Cool weekly parties at Underground SF include Phuturo (drum-n-bass) on Tuesdays and Cheb I Sabbah on Wednesdays.
And finally, every Saturday is Healing Dance at Yoga is Youthfulness.
Woot: I have two interviews on Wednesday, one to sell rockstar clothing and the other to massage gay men (non-sexually). I'm sure I could fit both into my schedule ;-)
I neglected to actually show you folks the poster I did, for our first Gay/Bi Men's Poly Meeting... next time... and there will be a next time, because the first meeting (on the 11th) went stunningly—over 20 guys showed up! I guess there's a bona fide need for the group.
Met Brad there, creator of a podcast called Queer Sex Weekly, which led me to another podcast, Polyamory Weekly. So I've been introduced to the world of podcasts finally and been enjoying that. Now I don't have to carry a book on MUNI if I don't want to.
So Zak and I are working to organize the second one, and trying to find a better venue. We never expected so many guys to show up, the Three Dollar Bill cafe was a little cramped for us in the end.
I also neglected to post that my cousin and her husband came down for that weekend of the 11th, doing extra credit for an Asian studies course. They saw the Chinese New Year's pararde, and Sunday morning we checked out the Asian Art Museum... I'd been there before, it's excellent.
In the afternoon, I went to see Emperor Norton: A New Musical That's Right as Reign. It was hilarious. Well done, good casting, great subject matter.
I went alone, as after a while I got tired of asking people and hearing "no" and eventually gave up. I think it was worth it; I've never considered myself a person who "had to go with someone" to do something I'm interested in. I did notice what it was like both to wish I was sharing the experience with someone, and to be OK with having that feeling around.
Interesting, because I never understood really well phrases about "sharing" anything with anyone else. It just didn't make sense to me. It makes a bit more sense now.
And, at the same time, there's definitely something to be said for sharing a treat just with yourself.
