Chris Jensen - S.F. Gay Examiner
P.A. Cooley and Roger Hanson in "It's Murder, Mary!" at NCTC
Pullin' Pork: The 4th Annual Queer Pride Happy Hour at The Pilsner (225 Church). Featuring Peaches Christ at one of my favorite bars in town (the patio is excellent for first dates, btw). 6 pm; free.
SF Leather Pride Meet & Greet at Chaps Bar (1225 Folsom). An event designed for out-of-towners to get plugged into the local kink scene, and for locals to check out the fresh meat. 7 pm; free.
Brain Farts at the LookOut (3600 16th St). Try your wits in a weekly trivia game hosted by BeBe Sweetbriar and Pollo Del Mar (who does a mean Betty White impression). 7:30 pm.
Ladies' Night at Gestalt Haus (3159 16th St). Plenty of bratwurst to go around. 8 pm; free.
"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. My review is here; pre-show cocktails are basically required. 8 pm; call 415-861-8972 or visit nctcsf.org for tickets.
Booty Call at The Bar on Castro (456 Castro). Just in time for hump day, it's the weekly party hosted by Juanita More and Joshua J. 9 pm; $1.
Pride Kick-Off at El Rio (3158 Mission). Featuring Julie F**king Potter and Friends. 9:30 pm; $8.
Dream Queen Revue at Aunt Charlie's (133 Turk). Regular readers already know that I'm a big fan of Aunt Charlie's. Don't miss the special Pride edition of the Dream Queen Revue, hosted by Ruby Slippers and Dee Dee La Femme. 10 pm; free.

A three-minute alternative to "Mamma Mia!"
Chris Jensen - S.F. Gay Examiner
So I saw "Mamma Mia!" tonight. My needs are few, OK? I just wanted to watch a bunch of scantily clad people running around a Greek island singing ABBA songs. Give me a sun-kissed, middle-aged heroine surrounded by shirtless Mediterraneans,... Read More

Charo: A savvy blend of trashiness and talent
Chris Jensen - S.F. Gay Examiner
Charo—one of the celebrity grand marshals in this year's Pride parade—gave a concert on Sunday night at The Herbst, and I've decided that she's either very savvy or very crazy. Or both.
"You're probably wondering, 'How old is that... Read More

Pride haiku
Chris Jensen - S.F. Gay Examiner
