MIDNIGHT AFTERPARTY!

Last Thursday night (11/19) ART ATTACK raised $500 for the Caretaker Food Fund at the Wolf Creek faerie sanctuary… that’s awesome!

Huge thanks to everyone who supported the Sanctuary by paying cover or volunteering… you not only made a fabulous evening possible, you helped create resources that will literally feed your sisters. The long winter be filled with lots of boring dried foods… and the support of city faeries like us make a huge difference in the daily culinary lives of the Caretakers.

Dinner Circle at Wolf Creek Men’s Gathering, Summer 2009.

If you weren’t able to make it to Art Attack, but would still like to
help Wolf Creek caretakers afford to eat interesting, healthy food
this winter, consider using your credit card to make a donation via
Paypal (it’s super easy).

HELP PROVE our community is big enough to support the “staff” of a
very special place… and make a donation today!

ENJOY two performance videos from Art Attack below, shot by Mark Demma (from Paradise Motel, one of Comfort & Joy’s sister camps).

This Thursday night, get assaulted by talent at ART ATTACK – a sizzling whirlwind of theatriclal bohemian nightclub energy designed to overwhelm your senses. Be dazzled as GINGER SNAP takes the spotlight, consent to cheap drink specials, tremble to MAKI’s operatic musings and get hot with fire dancing by BUNNY.

Play exhibitionist (or voyeur) to your community’s artistic inspiration… and become a part of the art with the Paint-a-Faggot installation.

Comfort & Joy’s notorious DJ SPACE will ensure your dancefloor desires are fulfilled, while supperclub chefs prepare special $15 main course plates for anyone who gets an attack of the “munchies” while groovin to the beats.

The door proceeds from this month’s ART ATTACK symphonic explosion go directly to the Wolf Creek Radical Faerie Sanctuary CARETAKER FOOD FUND. A talent assault that feeds the children. Winter can be a trying time to live in the woods and caretakers of the land need City Faggot Love to help them chop wood and shoot large.

Help sustain a remarkable rural queer Sanctuary space with your $5 cover (NOTAFLOF).

Visit www.supperclub.com to find out about reservations for the gourmet four course prix frix dinner served in the upper balcony. Watch all the mayhem of art attack from the second story in your own private bed while enjoying a tantalizing dinner. You’ll soon discover what happens when art assault meets cultural seduction.

WHEN: Thursday, November 19, 2009 – 7pm to 2am

Are the rumors true? Go backstage at Supperclub with a reality tv crew following AMBROSIA SALAD & the BEARNSTEINS backstage before the launch of a new world tour:

West Coast indie pop darlings Ambrosia & the Bearnsteins rose from the obscurity of the Bay Area Taco Bell circuit to superstardom almost over night when they were tapped by San Francisco Nightlife Grand Vizir, Stanley Frank, to headline the Chilidog 2 Year Anniversary Extravaganza.

Led by former child actress Ambrosia Salad (vocals, guitar) who has sifted through the emotional wreckage of their second tour to rise phoenix-like, reuniting with Adan Aburto (keyboard), Stephen Quinones (drums), and Brenden Shucart (bass, guitar, trumpet) for their third whirlwind tour in October 2009.

Ambrosia and her cohorts don’t let their lack of musical training get them down. Cleverly combining garage band grandeur with performance art brilliance, they set a new bar for entertainment. With cutting edge lip-sync techniques, beautifully hand-crafted cardboard instruments, high production value video, and the odd aerialist or two Ambrosia and the Bearnstiens create an uniquely amazing ‘Air Band Faux Show Spectacular!”

On Sunday, October 18th, longtime Comfort & Joy collaborators Honey Soundsystem and Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory will host “Megatron Man: The Life and Times of Patrick Cowley.”

Often credited as the American Giorgio Moroder, Patrick Cowley’s legend has become a symbol for a time when free love and technology would come together to forever change the social landscape, right here in San Francisco. On this evening we come together to celebrate the journey and genius of Patrick to appease all the disco spirits of so many like him who fell victim to the AIDS crisis during the early 80’s.

A little background: In the late 70’s into the early 80’s, inside a music studio tucked away in the back lots of downtown San Francisco, a handsome young man slaved away in a room full of synthesizers perfecting sounds that would transcend history and continue to resonate today. Outside of this studio was a city experiencing a cultural renaissance fueled by electric dancefloor nights on in the midst of a burgeoning queer rights movement.

Patrick Cowley, a 30 year old musical savant who started his career as a lighting technician at a popular dance club…. went on to produce highly acclaimed hi-nrg disco tracks and Billboard Chart toppers, is the individual we are celebrating on this special night. On the eve of what would be his 59th birthday we will be honoring our sonic mentor with a celebration and memorial to the life, music and legend of Patrick Cowley. Additionally, this will mark as a precursor to the release of Catholic, the very same week, a previously unheard collaboration between Patrick and Jorge Socarras of Indoor Life.

The event will occur during the late afternoon at Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory and feature various rarely seen artifacts from Patrick Cowley’s days as well as video screenings and keynote speakers who were well acquainted with the man of the hour giving revealing insights about his life’s murky history and a glimpse of San Francisco in the early 80s.

Come participate and learn more about an important musical figure from San Francisco’s past. There will be food drinks, performances with many individuals to meet and socialize.
