Thursday, Jan. 1
OUT WITH OLD, IN WITH THE NEW
The folks must still be recovering from the holidays because Mama had to scrape the very edges of the Internet to find listings for this week. This serves as a reminder: if you have something that you want listed in the calendar, send an email to
If one of your resolutions this year was to get sober, The Pride Center has AA groups at 9 and 11:30 a.m., and 5:15 p.m. If today doesn’t work out, they’ve got more all week long. Make the first step.
On the other hand, if that’s not an issue for you, LGBTQ Social Meetup Group holds a New Year's Day champagne brunch and show at Courtyard Café. They’re still blowing their… horns at Eagle with DJ Oldroyd, and Ramrod has DJ Koyote.
Friday, Jan. 2
SPEAKING OF NEW
The new season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” starts tonight, and with so many local girls competing, you can bet the bars having viewing parties will be packed. Stop by The Well or LIT on the Drive. If you’re expecting the “Rapture,” you’ll find it tonight at Eagle with Jace M as DJ. Wilton Collective hosts its weekly Friday Mix & Mingle from 6:30-8 p.m.
Saturday, Jan. 3
OUTDOORS, THAT’S WHERE IT’S NOT AIR-CONDITIONED, RIGHT?
If you made a resolution to get out and be more active, get Mama a martini on your way out. Then check out these events. Rainbow Sports kickball league starts today at 11 a.m. at Mickel Park. H.O.T. hosts its HOT Beach Party XXI at Haulover. You must RSVP to houseoftrouble.org. There’s a “Winter Wave” pool party at Ed Lugo Resort, which will get you nice and toasty in time for Ramrod’s Pig Dance with DJ Mystic Bill. Then chill out with “Frostbite” at Eagle with beats by J Warren.
Sunday, Jan. 4
I BELIEVE THE RAPTURE WILL TAKE ME AWAY, OR WAS THAT CALGON?
Young people, ask one of your elders about that reference. If you’ve got those post-holiday blues, SunServe is offering “Our Time” expressive art therapy. Rainbow Sports’ indoor volleyball league starts at LA Lee YMCA at 11 a.m. Okay, so it’s a little backwards, they started the holiday weekend with “Rapture” at Eagle, and they’re ending with “Genesis.” File your complaint with the Bible Studies Department. At Roosters, they have T-Dance and $7 Frosé, starting at 6 p.m.
Monday, Jan. 5
ONE, AND TWO, AND STEP, AND SLIDE. IS THIS TWO-STEPPING OR DODGEBALL?
Rainbow Sports League dodgeball season starts at America’s Got Soccer at 7 p.m. If one of your resolutions was to get out there and dance, stop by Scandals tonight, where Jerr Bear is giving lessons. The Pride Center Grief and Loss Support Group meets tonight. I didn’t get my update from The Stilettos, but you know they’re going to be doing something fab at The Pub on the Drive.
Tuesday, Jan. 6
WHAT IS A ROSE KENNEDY? KEN
Instead of sitting home and yelling answers while watching Jeopardy, head over to a live trivia contest at LIT, hosted by the trivia daddy himself, Garry Combs. Rainbow Sports outdoor volleyball league plays at Mickel Park starting at 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 7
LOOK AT THOSE QUEENS!
That’s what they’ll be saying at LIT tonight as they play poker. It’s underwear night at the Corner Pub. Get two for one well drinks when you wear your undies. I assume they mean only your undies, because otherwise, what’s the purpose? It’s Trivia Night at Lucky’s. I just realized the headline for this section could work for any of these items.
Looking Ahead: The OutSFL/Stonewall free movie screening of films all LGBT people should know, held at the Stonewall Museum, 100 E. Sunrise, will feature Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet on Thursday, January 8.
