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

Fri 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

THE RECORD STORE TOUR

Thu, Jun 11 at 4pm · San Jose

We are coming to your city and invite you to be part of something really cool. "The Record Store Tour" is a west coast grassroots movement and tour created by Whitney Tai and Mike Green, aimed at building community, connecting with vinyl enthusiasts and audiophiles alike, and emancipating people from the stronghold of corporate agendas. TRST intends to support independent record shops by partnering with them and presenting two new, critically acclaimed alt pop vinyl releases. Up The Anty! When you upload a photo from our event to this page, you receive an additional raffle ticket to win an electric guitar. The Record Store Tour is an anti corporate movement, giving a huge middle finger to tech moguls and AI dominion. We are working to co host real rooms with real people, supporting real causes. You can be part of this movement with us, and those efforts can change the landscape of how businesses thrive when communities band together for change. The Record Store Tour honors the importance of art in our current zeitgeist and the value of small businesses, prioritized in biorhythms, not algorithms. Music is healing, it is universal, and it is the fabric of the universe. Together, we can curate memorable events while infusing life back into indie artists and our mom and pop establishments. RSVP and receive a free download of a new track from the critically acclaimed albums, 'Hang The Moon' by Mike Green & 'American Wasteland' by Whitney Tai. Email hi@mikegreenmusic.com to redeem.

Vintage Prom Market

you’re invited to prom… but not the one you remember. this is for the ones who didn’t go, the ones who left early, the ones who cried in the bathroom & the ones who are still thinking about it. ✧ thrifted gowns, crooked ties, smudged mascara ✧ slow dances with strangers ✧ a night that feels like it already happened we’re recreating the feeling, not the memory. come dressed in your version of prom night: romantic, awkward, dramatic, undone. there will be music, vendors, little treasures, & just enough nostalgia to make your chest hurt. stay a while. take photos. be whoever you wish you were that night. one last dance.💋

new to sf? let me explain why I love it here.

Sat at 10am · San Francisco

WE’RE RUNNING IT BACK! If you've moved to San Francisco in the last year or two, this one's for you. I remember when I first got here and it was SO hard to find where I feel like I belong. I really didn't know where to start. I've been thinking a lot about that experience lately, and I wanted to do something about it! So I'm hosting a morning coffee/tea for people who are still in that season, new to the city, still building their circle, figuring out what SF is all about. I'll bring a list of my honest recommendations (neighborhoods, spots, things I wish I'd known), and mostly I just want to meet you and introduce you to each other. Coffee/tea on me for the first 6 people from Blue Bottle on me <3 If you can't make this time, DM me here, would still love to help you out in any way I can!! We’ll walk to Alta Park once everyone gets their drinks, one of my favorite spots a block away!
