About this webpage:
What I list is basically events that I'm interested in. It's not a complete list of gay-related events in San Francisco, nor are all these events strictly about promoting the homosexual agenda, whatever that is. I tend to list events that are about people creating local, direct live entertainment, especially as related to spoken word, rock, hip-hop, and electronic music, art events, and so on. While I like to get email about events, I can't promise to list everything in this calendar that I'm told about. I prefer to publicize events that are gender-inclusive for attendees.
Email larrybob@gmail.com with event info. Please send plain text-- avoid attachments, gif or jpg flyers, e-vites, and html mail. ALSO DO NOT USE ALL CAPS EXCESSIVELY. Facebook links will only be posted if they can be viewed by someone not logged in on Facebook. I now do have a Facebook page, but not everyone does, so please take that into account.
