Pride week events: Sunday

Oh, thank God: Pride Week is almost over, which means I can soon return to my usual practice of Meekness and Shame. I'm listing Sunday's events in roughly chronological order.

Pride Communion Service along the parade route (Market Street between Beale and Hyde). Atone for your Pink Saturday sins with an interdenominational Eucharist at 9:30 am. Free.

SF Pride Parade (Market Street between Beale and Hyde). The parade itself is always a little too long, but the spectators provide some of the year's best people-watching. 10:30 am; free.

Pride Celebration at Civic Center. If you didn't already get your fill on Saturday afternoon, Sunday offers another seven hours of music, food, and countless opportunities to show up on complete strangers' disreputable MySpace pages. Noon-7 pm.

Juanita More!'s Gay Pride '08 at Bambuddha Lounge (601 Eddy). Celebrate Pride in the 'Loin with Juanita More. Proceeds benefit the New Leaf Outreach to Elders Program. 3 pm; $25-$30.

Big Top: A Gay Pride Sunday Disco-Circus at The Transfer (198 Church). The Transfer's popular Sunday-evening party whips it all out for a special Pride spectacular. 6 pm-2 am; $5 before 9 pm.

Sundance Saloon's After-Pride Country-Western Dance at Hotel Whitcomb (1231 Market). Don't be intimidated if you don't know how to two-step: beginning lessons run from 6-7:30 pm, with the dance continuing until 11 pm. $5.

FRESH at Ruby Skye (420 Mason). If the phrase "Pride T-Dance" gets you excited, then this party's all yours. $20 before 6:30, $25 after.

Groove Theory After-Pride Party for Women at Milk Bar (1840 Haight). Like FRESH, but for the ladies (and at half the price). 7 pm-midnight; $10.

Escandalo at DNA Lounge (375 11th St.) The official Latin Stage after-party. 8 pm-3 am. Free before 11 pm; $5-$8 after.

The Return of Charo… And Her Las Vegas Show at the Herbst Theatre (401 Van Ness). Not only is Charo a celebrity grand marshal at this year's Pride parade, but she also holds the record for the most appearances on "The Love Boat." 8 pm; $40-$100. Call the box office at 415-392-4400.
