Shaking some serious trypto-fanny with Dirty Bird, Brenmar, Mr. Big Top, Gobble Gobble Hey, Go Bang, two rollerskating parties, and much more

SUPER EGO Nightlife things I'm so gloriously thankful for I could bust a lower giblet and call it vogueing: No one's been shot at the kind of club I like to attend! I have yet to hear that extremely annoying NYC-centric "Barbra Streisand" song here! I live in a city where there is not one, but two fat-burning rollerskating parties on Thanksgiving eve — the wonderfully 1970s-bumpy Roller Disco Thanksgiving Edit (Wed/24, 9 p.m., $5 entry, $5 skate rental. Mighty, 119 Utah, SF. www.mighty119.com) and the all-star DJ, '80s-wheelin' New 7th Heaven Sadie Hawkins Roller Prom (Wed/24, 9 p.m.-late, $7 entry, $5 skate rental. Mezzanine, 444 Jessie, SF. www.mezzaninsf.com)! None of my friends have lost a smart phone in the past three days!
Actually, this has been an amazing, thankful-worthy year for SF nightlife. Next month I'll be dropping my infamous annual look back — in the meantime, here are a few choice club joints to set your turducken aflame. Wait, you want me to shove that can of Bud up what?
JESSE ROSE AND CLAUDE VONSTROKE
'Twas the night before Thanksgiving, and all the kids got down to a Dirty Bird. SF's fantastically light-hearted techno Dirty Bird label, that is, with founder Vonstroke and early Dirty Birder Jesse Rose on the tables together, like freaks of a feather.
Wed/24, 9 p.m.–4 a.m., $20. Public Works, 161 Erie, SF. www.publicsf.com
GOBBLE GOBBLE HEY
There's punk rock in my gravy, and it's free. The splendidly named DJ Lumpen the Laptop-Hero of Monday's weekly retro Wave Not Wave party is throwing down punk jams on Thanksgiving night. Ditch your parents and come out, get soused, tear shit up.
Thu/25, 10 p.m., free. Beauty Bar, 2299 Mission, SF. www.thebeautybar.com
BRENMAR
Hot young Brooklynite remix master gives the funky R&B treatment to tracks almost before they hit the 'Net (like his twist on my cut of the month, Teengirl Fantasy's "Dancing in Slow Motion." He'll be showing off in SF for the first time, at the always tail-flailing Icee Hot party, with residents Ghosts on Tape, Disco Shawn and Rollie Fingers.
Sat/27, 10 p.m., $5. 222 Hyde, SF. www.222hyde.com
CASUAL ENCOUNTERS
At last, your chance to see drag queens wrestling in Jell-O. Now word yet if there'll be whip cream, but there will be hostess Ambrosia Salad, as well as the ever-colloidal VivvyAnne ForeverMore, and her royal wobless Monistat. Plus DJs Alexis Blair Penney, Carnita and Brown Amy from Hard French, and many more.
Sat/27, 8 p.m., $5–$10. UndergroundSF, 424 Haight, SF. (415) 864-7386
DNA LOUNGE 25-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Sweet marshmallow yams, the DNA is almost older than I am! This gala is a special installment of huge mashup club Bootie (www.bootiesf.com), but with aerialist Your Little Chernobyl, a special DJ set at 8 p.m. by DNA Lounge cofounder Brian Raffi, and an open bar from 8 p.m.–9 p.m. with paid admission.
Sat/27, 9 p.m.–late, $6 before 10 p.m., $12 after. DNA Lounge, 375 11th St., SF. www.dnalounge.com
