Battery Powered Fun for Everyone!

You've gotta hand it to the folks at Good Vibrations. Through years of hard work and dedication, they've created stores where just about anybody can feel comfortable picking out strap-on fetish gear or buying the latest grown-up playthings. And face it, anybody that's put together the world's most extensive antique vibrator museum knows how to have a good time! These pleasure-positive boys and girls are taking their show on the road, turning the DNA Lounge into a bacchanalian Kinky Circus of epic proportions. Perversions and kinks of all shapes and sizes will be on display, with champion transvestites, erotic aerialists, legendary porn queens, burlesque, and presiding over it all is the City's foremost "Sexologist and Polymorphous Pervert", Dr. Carol Queen. DJ Derek of Trannyshack fame is providing a soundtrack of high energy house and retro tunes to keep the party moving, but read up on the dress code so you can bring the right set of dancing shoes. Date: Thurs. 12/16, Time: 8pm-2am, Place: DNA Lounge, Cover: $20 presale/$25 door. More Info (SG)

Bush Sucks! Art Show
Come down to the StudioZ Gallery and join the crew that voted with the other 49% of the country. Twenty of the city's best have collectively developed works that are politically charged and originally themed. This exhibit is progressive California at its peak. The opening reception kicks off the anti-Bush art show with DJs Laron and Greg Eversoul expressing themselves musically as artists do visually. You’ll bear witness to Fallujah-invoked anger splattered across canvas. Tax breaks for the rich will scream from collages as you peruse artists like Stuart Sheldon and Laura Smith-Blair. It's important to support what you say, practice what you preach, and love what you listen to! Date: Opening Reception: Sat. 12/18, Exhibit runs through Tue. 12/28, Time: 9pm – 3am, Place: StudioZ Gallery, Cover: $7.

Straight out of Chicago’s deepest, darkest, most creative niche comes Julius ‘the Mad Thinker’ bringing you house so soulful you’ll want to call it home. He had a strong hand in forming the event and ideology named 3degrees a few years back. The thought is that we can create a neutral forum where everyone is welcome at all venues and like-minded people are only a few degrees of separation apart. Making his first SF appearance will be 3degrees' D.C. resident who has been tearing up the East Coast, bigSEXY.

Good thing there's a trusty respite like Club Six to save me from my own indignation.

Music: Progressive, house, breaks, hip-hop
Cover: $20
1015's seen plenty of ups and downs over the years, but it's never lost its knack for pulling in serious international talent. Markus Schulz is the latest in the long line of luminaries to grace their massive soundsystem, and he's quite capable of making a memorable impression. Schulz has a unique feel for trance, wielding an array of darker melodies in a genre derided for its saccharine overtones. As always, 1015's got all your musical bases covered, including a live set from Late Night Sneaky upstairs, but you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you miss out on Markus' set. (SG)
