EROS, on

Good day and how is it! Come to K'vetsh, our queer open mic and emotional journey. We have goods and services to share in the form of ART. An open mic list and two features in two hours or less in the lobby of a gay men's bath house where all genders are welcome to the show. What the HUNK.

Your features!!!!

This Sunday, December 6th. 7:30 open mic sign-ups, 8:00 show. Always on time! Open mic people are welcome to present one piece of less than five minutes, or five minutes of a longer piece. Two pieces? No. Medleys? Check with me. BUT PROBABLY NOT. The admission is $3 to $5. I am comfortable saying that is an incredible deal. You must be 18 or over to regard the dong throng inside Eros. Please feel free to dress in a tiny white towel for the show. Eros is located at 2051 Market St. at 14th St. in San Francisco. There are a couple little coolers with non-alcoholic beverages for sale, including Fresca and Muscle Milk.

TALKS! Art & Politics: Keith Hennessy, revisiting Saliva

Wed., December 9, 7:30pm, Free

At Counterpulse, 9th and Mission

A 1988/89 performance by Keith Hennessy. Twenty years ago Keith Hennessy created Saliva, an interdisciplinary dance-performance-ritual under a freeway in downtown San Francisco. Deep within the rage and grief of the AIDS crisis, Hennessy performed a ritualistic reclamation of the body, the queer male body, as holy. Video excerpts, live performance, historical context, and audience discussion combine to recreate this AIDS-era work of queer performance. With Waiyde Palmer, Kirk Read and Philip Huang.
