SUPER EGO Phew! I just adore being a second-class citizen again, now that Proposition 8 has passed. It makes me feel so edgy, so alt, so very underground. Thank you, Pope Pius the 5000th and the Angel Macaroni! I finally get to break back out my favorite little victim pumps you know, the star-spangled ones with exquisite ruby handcuff heels and shove my overwhelming gayness down those tender asshole bigot throats once again. Confrontational! It seems the 1990s really are back at last, and I'm ready for some massive kiss-in action, minus the scuffed oxblood Docs and sleeveless Mervyn's flannels this time, please.
11/4: never FGGT.
At least I still have the love of my dance floor brothers, sisters, and others gay or straight to help me keep my head up under the tacky 99-cent-store weave of despair. If they love me so much, why don't they marry me? Oh, right. So here, in honor of losing my civil rights at the precise moment of gaining a black president, is a thuper-gay Thuper Ego thpectacular for you.
HONEY SUNDAYS Those sticky-sweet DJ darlings of the altQ scene's squirmy underside Pee Play, Ken Vulsion, Kendig, Robot Hustle, and Josh Cheon, otherwise known as Honey Soundsystem have launched a weekly for party peeps into killer tracks that raise the tired genre house roof into a glistening rainbow of wondrous WTF. Lemme tell ya, it's been a long time coming. Expect everything from Kendig's trademark minimal techno and classic house glides to Hustle's rarest disco, Vulsion's echoey rave-ups to Cheon's proto-new wave hoof-twisters, topped off by Pee Play's bottomless crate-digging mindfucks. All with an ahistorical, four-on-the-floor hard homo energy and some ostentatious faggotty flair, and all going down every Sunday at the gorgeously remodeled Paradise Lounge in SOMA. Sundays, 8 p.m.2 a.m., free. Paradise Lounge, 1501 Folsom, SF. (415) 621-1911, www.honeysoundsystem.com
TIARA SENSATION There's good drag, there's bad drag, and then there's drag so surreal it bends the arc of history into "holy shit!" The latter is surely the agenda at this paste-gem prom every Monday at the Stud, hosted by my all-time favorite gender clown DJ Down-E and House of Horseface's Mica. Part DIY craft fair, part "oh no, she din't" dance party, it's all odd in a lovely way. With frequent appearances by the inimitable Glamamore, hands down the most creative queen in the city, and tunes from somewhere left of Pluto still a planet in my heart it's a crackin' good post-weekend jolt of incredulity. Too bad I missed the Obama, the Musical performance. Mondays, 10 p.m., free. The Stud, 399 Ninth St., SF. (415) 863-6623, www.myspace.com/tiarasensation
MARICON This one's not for a leetle while yet, but it's hot enough to stuff in your pink Blackberry before the deluge of other Thanksgiving Eve throwdowns hits. If you miss DJ Bus Station John's sadly departed Double Dutch Disco monthly or, for those with any semblance of long-term memory left, DJ Derek B. and Lady Bass's early-aughts Off the Hook bashes, get ready to relive the freakin' freestyle and electric boogaloo days you never really lived through to begin with, maybe. Derek B. my long-lost sister and the usually punk rock Trans Am crew are bangin' the boombox with this one-off, fronting effervescent electro tunes and lavender-bandannaed performances by drag cholitas Kiddie, Glamamore, Hoku Mama, and Holly Peno, plus free churros. Get your womp on and Robocop. Nov. 26, 10 p.m., $5. The Gangway, 849 Larkin, SF. (415) 776-6828, www.myspace.com/transamtheclub
