QUEER PICTURE DAY

Next Sun at 2pm · Oakland
QUEER PICTURE DAY 💌 by OMG Visuals I’ve had this idea in my mind for years and I’m finally bringing it to life. A lot of queer people never really got the chance to fully express ourselves as our fully realized selves growing up. So I wanted to create a Picture Day for us now. A space to document who we are, who we’ve become, and the versions of ourselves we dreamed about for so long. Come in your best whatever-that-means-to-you. Dress up, be soft, be bold, be sexy, be playful, be fully yourself. I want to capture the queer joy we carry and preserve this moment in time together. This will be a community portrait event with a backdrop, music, candid moments, and eventually a yearbook-style archive with “Most Likely To…” superlatives and community pages spotlighting the people and spaces that shape us. My dream is to make this a yearly series — something we can return to every year to see who we are becoming. We’ll be at my favorite bar in downtown Oakland during Pride with a DJ, good energy, beautiful people, and room to connect. Come ready to take portraits, meet new people, and be part of something special.

Can I Get a Witness? Open Mic

Sun, Aug 23 at 5pm · Oakland
CIGAW is ONE YEAR OLD 🥳🥳🥳🥳💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾Come celebrate the open mic that’s changing the culture of spoken word as we know it!! Can I Get a Witness? (CIGAW) is the first open mic of its kind, because after each poem we talk about it. We talk about what emotions came up, what resonates, and how our individual experiences relate to larger conditions. Some call it “poetic aftercare”, we call it a poetry witnessing circle. Here’s how it works: 🎤 open mic list with 8-10 poets. 🎤 Poets can share for up to 5mins. 🎤After each poem the room speaks back for 3-5mins. We have a few rules to keep the evening cute/supportive: 🚫 no Advice 🚫 no Scores 🚫 no Critiques ⭐️⭐️⭐️The goal is engage in meaningful conversation rooted in the themes found in the poets work—which typically hits different for each listener. During the event we provide “Ways We Witness”and “Optional Speaking Prompts” that keep the container supportive for both the performers and the audience. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, RSVP and tell a loved one. See you there 💃🏾✨ Your donation helps make this effort sustainable. Thank you! ☀️

Maison Noir Vol. III — Bal Masqué

Sat, Aug 29 at 7pm · San Francisco
August 29, 2026. Hibernia Bank, San Francisco. The mask goes on. Maison Noir returns for its third chapter, and we're not holding back. Bigger crowds. More performances. A scale of production you haven't seen from us yet. The same uncompromising standard of elegance and atmosphere that made Vol. I and Vol. II sell out, taken further than before. Step into a night of masquerade, where identity dissolves behind gold and lace, and the line between mystery and glamour disappears. Curated live performances. Roaming characters drawn from a world of secrecy and seduction. Dramatic lighting. Every detail, intentional. This is not a party. It is a disguise worth keeping. Expect more than you imagine. We are always aiming to surprise you, in the best way. Presented in partnership with LUPFR Entertainment, Ben Holfeld, Scorpio Events Booking, and Join Mutuals

We’ll send out the final location and any updates after we scout the area. Looking forward to a fun day on the water! 🌊☀️ 🌊 Important Safety Update As this event has grown, I wanted to clarify a few things. This is an informal community meetup, not a guided tour, lesson, or professionally organized event. There will be no instructors, lifeguards, safety staff, or rescue support. Everyone attends and participates at their own risk and is responsible for making their own decisions about whether conditions are appropriate for them. If you plan to paddle, please: * Be able to swim. * Be comfortable in open water. * Be capable of managing yourself and your equipment without relying on others. * Bring and wear appropriate safety gear, including a properly fitted life jacket. If you’re new to paddleboarding, not comfortable swimming, or aren’t confident in ocean conditions yet, I’d love for you to still come hang out on the beach, meet everyone, and enjoy the community! There will absolutely be opportunities to socialize without getting on the water. Please use your own judgment regarding ocean and weather conditions before participating. If at any point you don’t feel comfortable, it’s always okay to sit this one out. Looking forward to seeing everyone and having a fun, safe day together! 💙

Sonamó + DJ Nino MSK

Thu at 9pm · San Francisco
San Francisco’s funkiest “little room / big show” night is back. Sonamó turns Madrone into a full-throttle, late-night dance floor—the kind of night where the band plays like it’s a 1,000-person festival… even if you’re close enough to feel the bass in your ribs. Sonamó Live brings Italian backbone + global grooves + Bay Area funk energy, then we hand the room to our partner in crime DJ Nino MSK for an all-vinyl DJ set that keeps the party spinning until the end. Come for the show. Stay for the wax. 🕘 9:00 PM Doors 🎶 9:30 PM Sonamó (Live) 💿 11:30 PM DJ Nino MSK (All-Vinyl DJ Set) 💵 $5 at the door 📀 Eclectic Radio vinyl available at the merch table Bring your crew.

Mox Movie Night #8: Chungking Express 🍍

Wed at 7pm · San Francisco
Run time: 1 hr 37 min We’re diving into Wong Kar-wai’s Chungking Express, a 90s cinematic masterpiece of urban yearning and kinetic romance. It’s a gorgeous, fast-paced fever dream about the beautiful, melancholic chaos of finding love in a crowded city. 🍍 Beneath the iconic soundtrack, we’ll be probing some heavy existential themes. Does everything in life come with an expiration date—even love? How do we manage to feel so isolated while constantly bumping shoulders with millions of strangers, and can a bizarre daily routine actually cure a broken heart? Open invite! All are welcome :) Thank you Mox for hosting us! Mox SF (moxsf.com) is a coworking space for change makers and do-gooders for causes like AI Safety, Animal Welfare, and more!
