Retaining San Francisco’s Visitor Visibility
Every June thousands of people descend upon San Francisco for a celebration that is entirely San Franciscan in its origin.

Though such depictions remain few and far between, there is no shortage of talent and passion in the field that deserve recognition and praise. More

Zombies Get hungry Too
You’ve been dancing, waiting in long lines to pee, you’ve lost and found your crew twenty times, the flask you hid in your vest is empty, but the night just doesn’t want to end. Where can you all go to chill, unsmear the eyeliner, realign the wig, flop into a plush banquet and take a look at everyone who called your cell phone while you couldn’t hear the ring? More

After the Witching Hour
The muckety-mucks of San Francisco’s entertainment hierarchy have seriously asked themselves whether or not we still qualify as an “international city” based on the fact that our late night entertainment has been scaling back since the dotcom bust. The urban myth behind this notion is that a lot of SOMA properties, once hosting bars and clubs, got converted into chic, modern live-work lofts, to which the successful Gen-X flocked. More

Downtown Attractions
If you can find parking, read those little red and white signs carefully. Museum Row and the entire Yerba Buena neighborhood is tricky, and they tow very efficiently. The 6th & Mission garage is an aboveground, clean, efficient parking structure, though not cheap. Again, public transportation is the way to go. More

Annual Trannyshack Pageant in its 11th Year
The Trannyshack Show at the Stud Bar every Tuesday night hits a level of hijinks that make us proud to be in the Bluest State, but the volume gets considerably turned up for the annual Miss Trannyshack Pageant. Held at the Regency Theater, the event has turned lavishly prime-time, and the performers pull out all the stops, investing in sophisticated props and presenting highly choreographed performances.

An Illustrious History
Founded in San Francisco in 1965, the Imperial Court is an entity similar to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and perhaps the Grand Council E. Clampus Vitus, or any number of secret societies historically borne out of humor, wit and the desire to party. More

A Rift Mended in 2006
When the GLBT Historical Society announced itself thirty years ago, offering an official home to archive GLBT history as well as a museum and membership body, material started arriving in truckloads of hefty bags containing all the "memorabilia" that an average queen leaves when s/he dies. Discerning what was of value and what was not became the roll of the archivist on duty. More
