BOOF: flirty800 b2b DJ USA (DANCE + DARK ROOM)

Tomorrow at 10pm · San Francisco

BOOF is a queer-led underground. Come to move, connect, explore, watch, participate, or just lose yourself in the room. All expressions of gender, sexuality, race, and style are welcome here. In two years, BOOF has grown into one of San Francisco’s most vital queer nightlife spaces by building something immersive, high-energy, and fully our own. BOOF — FRI, MAY 8 ⛓️ DANCE + DARK ROOM 😈 📍 The Foundry SF — 1425 Folsom St 🕙 10P → 4A 📸 IG @boof.party BOOF returns to The Foundry. Two dance floors and a dark room. ⛓️‍💥 ABOUT THIS EVENT After sustained operational excellence in underground indulgence and several quarters of spiritually dubious nightlife production, BOOF returns to The Foundry to once again optimize your evening into a high-output, low-regret sensory experience. Leveraging two fully activated dance floors and a strategically underlit dark room environment, we invite you to participate in a vertically integrated night of sweat, sound, and poor decision-making. In an increasingly crowded nightlife marketplace, BOOF asks: what if the function was the dysfunction? what if the dance floor dissolved and no one was watching anyway? what if we stopped pretending this was about anything other than the music—and each other? This is a no-spectator environment. Engagement is mandatory. Observation is discouraged. 🖤 VIBE dark, sweaty, charged no spectators — only participants

Rebekah

Sat at 9:30pm · San Francisco

Saturday, May 9th, 9:30pm - 2am Main Room / 21+ / Limited Capacity Birmingham-raised, Berlin-based techno mainstay Rebekah has been behind the decks since the late '90s. Her sound hits hard — industrial weight, distorted bass, relentless rhythm. She runs two labels (Elements, Decoy Records), took home DJ Mag's Best Producer in 2018, and has been pushing tempos even harder with her Go Hard Or Go Hardcore project. This is heavy, no-frills techno for a dark room with a big system. Lineup: Rebekah Miss Crafty Lyssa Kelly Verse REBEKAH BIO: Rebekah is a British techno DJ and producer who started spinning records in Birmingham in the late '90s after discovering the city's Que Club. She moved to Berlin in 2012, and her sound hardened from there — raw, industrial techno with distorted bass and pounding rhythm. She's released on Soma, Perc Trax, CLR, and MORD, and runs two labels of her own: Elements and Decoy Records. DJ Mag voted her Best Producer in 2018 and put her on their cover the following year. Her debut album Fear Paralysis came out on Soma in 2017. More recently she launched Go Hard Or Go Hardcore, pushing her sets into faster, harder territory. She also started the #ForTheMusic campaign against sexual misconduct in the electronic music industry.

3rd Degree Dating

Next Thu at 7pm · San Francisco

No strangers. Just introductions waiting to happen. You didn't find this on an app. Someone passed you this link, and that's exactly the point. 3rd Degree Dating is a curated singles mixer built on warm introductions. Everyone in the room got here the same way you did: through someone who knows someone who knows me. That shared chain of trust means you're already one introduction away from everyone there before you even walk in. The night is low-key and conversation-first. A few light prompts to get things going, then organic from there. No rotation, no buzzers, no awkward speed-dating timers. Just good people, good drinks, and a room actually designed for connection. 📅 Wednesday, April 23 · 7–9PM 📍 Mars Bar, San Francisco 🎟️ $15 — RSVP here, then Venmo @DanielaRosado to lock in your spot Spots are capped at 30. RSVP by May 12. P.S. Don't forget to forward this to a single friend worth vouching for. The more good people in the room, the better the night.

tiny apartment art show

Sat, May 30 at 7pm · San Francisco

We’re back for our 5th show - spring edition! 🐣 BE THERE!! u know the drill!! but if you don't: tiny apartment art show is a every so often art show hosted by two neighbors who live in a historic artist's building (legend has it Janis Joplin used to live here!) The broad concept of the show is that everything is art - we've seen everything from large finished canvases to works in progress to a literal spoon on the wall. We would love if you filled out the form (linked above) so we can plan a little, but if you just want to BYOA (bring your own art) the day of, that is cool too. Art is shown in both of our apartments, we live on the same floor, and people can walk back and forth between both and look at art, and party and connect with other artists. WE LOVE PERFORMANCE ARTISTS!! 🎭So reach out if you want to perform on our patio. We will also have a film screening set up if you want to submit video. 🎬 Some things: - If you rsvp and end up not being able to go, please unrsvp. Last time we had a waitlist. - we wanna keep the event free but it does cost money to run the show and we are self-funded. If you wanna pitch in to keep this show going, Venmo @Ellen-Caminiti - if you want to volunteer, DM us here or reach out on IG @tinyaptartshow 🌻

The Retro Future Revue 2026: Lazer Beam/Miss Hits, Mitch Rocket/Dinner Date

Sat, May 16 at 2pm · San Francisco

On the stage where iconic musicians like Jerry Garcia, Santana, and Jefferson Airplane entertained hundreds of thousands of San Franciscans in years past, something new is bubbling up. This free concert will take place Saturday May 16th, 2-6pm and will feature 4 Bay Area bands that exemplify the diversity of San Francisco’s vibrant music scene. The third year of the Retro-Future Revue will be the biggest yet, with heavy hitters Lazer Beam, Miss Hits, Mitch Rocket, and Dinner Date gracing the stage at the Golden Gate Park Bandshell. The music will range from delicate indie pop to heavy desert rock, from jazzy complexity to sleek simplicity. All the decades of San Francisco’s musical past will be in attendance. Will you? Food trucks will be on site to provide lunch. Bring drinks, snacks, kids, parents, dogs, and the whole family! And should you desire, come dressed as a shiny chrome vision of a future that could have been. A splendid time is guaranteed for all! Retrofuturism: “a movement in the creative arts that visualizes the future through the lens of a past era's technological and cultural understanding. It represents the "remembering of anticipation"—how previous generations envisioned what was to come. This aesthetic is characterized by blending old-fashioned or "retro" styles with futuristic technology.”

You decide who’s guilty of being THE A*HOLE. Hosted by Elisha Tan, a Singaporean comedian based in San Francisco known for her sharp, playful comedy about culture, identity, and navigating life in America.
