Pride week events: Friday

I'll be posting daily Pride events every morning throughout the week. If you'd like to see your event here, just drop me a line at gayexaminer@gmail.com (thanks to those who've already done so). I'm listing Friday's events in roughly chronological order, categorized by the hour.

7 pm

"The Golden Girls: The Gay Episodes" at Mama Calizo's Voice Factory (1519 Mission). I wasn't crazy about it, but maybe the girls have gotten their act together. 7 and 10 pm; $20. Email goldengirlssf@earthlink.net for tickets.

8 pm

Marga & More Boys at the SF LGBT Community Center (1800 Market). Everyone knows that Pride can get a little self-serious, so praise Jeebus that Marga Gomez is hosting an evening of tactless laughs with queer comics Ali Mafi, Ronn Vigh, and Thai Rivera. 8 pm; $12-$15. Call 415-864-4124 for more info.

Tradeshow/Mr. at Mighty (119 Utah). Tradeshow (8-11 pm) is a silent auction featuring portraits of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence; Mr. (10 pm-6 am) is the all-night dance party that follows. $10 in advance; $20 at the door. Call 415-626-7001 for more info.

"It's Murder, Mary!" at the New Conservatory Theatre Center (25 Van Ness). It's the final weekend for this world-premiere play, which is something like "Eight Women" with an all-male cast.
