WoW!  Can I just say WoW?  It has been an amazing week out here in the Bay.  The A's killed it last night and we are crossing our fingers and our toes that they rock Game 5 later today.  Not be outdone by the East Bay, San Francisco Giants are playing hard ball with Cincinnati.  No matter which team you are rooting for you can hear the screams of both diehard fans and casual onlookers across the Bay in sports bars, clubs, offices, homes and on their commutes as both these teams are playing outstanding baseball!

This weekend in Bay is gonna be crackin' with some of the hottest events going down over the next few days and throughout the month of October.  If you made it to the Kainbigan soft opening last weekend, thank you so much for your support.  We highly encourage you to come out again tonight (Thursday) for the GRAND OPENING of the KAINBIGAN POP-UP RESTAURANT, we will have complimentary food samples, $3 Draft and $5 Jameson Shots plus live entertainment by Charito + FunkCh3n and DJ Nina Sol on the 1s and 2s.  On Friday in Oakland KALEIDOSCOPEis going down at the Rock Steady and FIX YR HAIR is happening at Rebel in SF.  On Saturday, HELLA GAY is back at the Uptown
then slow your roll on Sunday at SIMMER DOWN at Somar Bar in Oakland.

We are super excited to announce our Halloween Party Lineup.  We have sooooo many tricks and treats up our sleeves so get ready!  We are giving away $500 in cash and prizes, DJs Motive and LP will be slammin' the wheels of steel, Hosts Mona Webb and Mack Mistress will be rockin' the mic, and Go-Gos, Fei, Amanda and Felisha will be droppin' it low all night long.  So get your BEST costume and get ready for a night you won't forget.

SAN CHA
http://www.elsancha.com/#!home/mainPage
"San Cha was born out of a little girl's imagination and fantasy to question. Over the years, San Cha evolved to challenge and destroy the current structure of the pop music scene. She reclaims the negative and oppressive ideas of the dominant beliefs established through our male,masochist society to captivate and mesmerize audiences of both friends and foes."

MISS HAZE (of 40love)
"Her raw lyricism combined with her love of the mystic and sprituality makes her a standout artist. Moreover, the feminist themes found in her work makes her an inspiration to hip-hop artists and fans alike."- Feministing.com

With Resident dj's

As you may have noticed, Hella Gay has been on a little bit of a gaycation - but now we're back!

Come out and dance all night with your favorite queerdos . . . and help us raise some $$$$ for the fantastic Queer Yo Mind conference!

Featuring DJs Balthazar Lasagne, G*, and Johnny Thunderz (aka Lila Rose).

Doors open at 9. $5 all night long. See you there!

QUEER YO MIND MISSION STATEMENT:

Queer Yo Mind is a public conference that works to use Queer as a tool to empower and unite people from all backgrounds to critique and "dismantle" [as Audre Lorde would say] the dominant LGBTQ politics and realize the radical potential of queer community and queer scholarship. Queer Yo Mind bridges the gaps between academia and activism by fostering a space of exchange. The notion of queer employed by the conference includes, but extends past gender expression and sexual orientation in an effort to empower queer communities. Queer Yo Mind operationalizes the concept of queerness that respects and supports the complex intersections of one's races/ethnicities, gender expressions, religions, socioeconomic statuses and backgrounds, nationalities, languages, abilities, and/or sexual orientations. This critical, intersectional space brings together ideas and activism in an effort to queer both mind and body to affect change in the hetero-/homonormative structures of political activism and academic scholarship.
