Flip Your Lid!
As Prince pointed out, sexy never left. But charm, elegance, a flair for the debonair? Long, long gone. Enter Flip Your Lid! and cue waltz music. The Black Rock Arts Foundation brings dapper back with their second annual benefit and, as the name suggests, the occasion calls on you to come not only with a generous heart, but a be-capped head. This being San Francisco, the benefit is in support of interactive art and civic participation, "Burning Man style," which means lots of crazy hats, "scintillating art," and fresh music at the after-party. Dust off your favorite fedora and leave the house looking sharp, because it all goes down at supperclub, an establishment that certainly knows a thing or two about style. Date: Thurs 4/19, Time: benefit dinner 6:30pm - 2am, after-party 10:30pm - 2am, Place: supperclub, Cover: benefit dinner $125-$250, after-party $10 with hat, $20 without, More Info. (EK)

Bohemian Carnival Indie Circus
Spawned from deep within the eerily intertwined underground dance and circus communities, Bohemian Carnival is a madhouse orgy of aerialists, music, and clowns. Now, normally, seeing the words "clown" and "orgy" in the same sentence is more than enough to send me running for the hills, but with Gooferman and the Vau de Vire Society prominently involved, I set my fears aside and discovered the awesome array of talent and color set to some of the best beats in town. In addition to Boenobo and his freakishly talnted Gooferman, they've got funksters Stymie and Black Sci-Fi, Coop and AudiLew from Xenodrome, MoPo, Eric Sharp and more to keep your ears abuzzing and your feet moving. Keep your eyes up and you'll catch Vau de Vire, who are just plain hot, you've flying around with the death-defying CowboyGirls,their own special GoGo contingent, the Gimmiemonie$, and of course, your standard, run-of-mill, terrifying and freaky Shadow Circus. This SF original is simply a touch too insane to survive anywhere else, only in the freak-rich soil of San Francisco can it thrive. Date: Sat 4/21, Time: 9pm, Place: DNA Lounge (375 11th St.), Cover: $15, More Info. (SG)
