Here's a peek at the wild adventures of the Hellraisers at Ace's bar for the April Hellraiser Happy Hour.
Funds were raised from our competitive poker tournament for Tenderloin Health while party goers enjoyed discounted Bud tallboys and pizza. There was also a lot of impromptu singing, which wasn't even instigated by the plethora of drunken Scotsman!
Last night the lovely Clare set up a benefit for everyone's favorite Zeitgeist bartender Steve, and boy did people step up to the plate! The simple, yet poignant flyers read "Drink for Steve!" and all monies taken in by the 500 Club from 6pm-9pm went to help him pay some hefty medical bills.
People were spilling out of taxis continuously. It was a perfect example of true alcoholic solidarity, I mean I actually saw people who don't drink on Sundays going for it with gusto. Throwing back pint after pint, shot after shot and ya know, the really cool kids were drinking the PBR.
In true Mission community style, it was jovial, plenty of dogs bounding around, low key and with just a few groups of overly happy folks leaving the bathroom in pairs and heading to the photo booth. Thankfully, even though the 500 has rid themselves of the pool table and video games, they know the booth is an essential playground for the establishment.
If you aren't familiar with Steve, he's a real hoot, a one of a kind genuine soul. He's also a highly talented karaoke singer, as evidenced here:
You can give to Steve's cause at Bender's on May 16 or at Annie's on May 17th, there will be more rock in those two days than you can handle!
The Hellraisers took it all off (mostly) Wednesday night at the Lookout. I had no idea male burlesque could be so hot! The Boylesque boys are really entertaining...and talented on the pole. The floor aerials were spectacular, half naked hard bodies flipping around all over!
Good Sexy Cupcake Times were had by all!
The event was also one of the Guardian's many forays into philantropy, as we helped the boys raise money to take it off in Vegas. Feels good to give, doesn't it?
What? You missed it? That's ok April will deal you another booze induced Hellraiser!
Tonight is Val's Social Hour at Annie's! It's going to be a real doozie of a reunion intermingled with those wacky lawyers she works with! Black hoodies, denim and button downs galore! Wheeeeeeeee
On top of the usual happy hour revelry, wfresh sushi from the guys at Ichi Sushi and karaoke in the back room starting at 7. And if you can stand it, really good bands starting at 9:30.
