¡Miercoles Gigante!- Snapshots From Galería de la Raza Fundraiser

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Few nights have been as warm, gorgeous and amazing as the fundraiser that Hard French threw for the Galería de la Raza this past August 19th, ¡Miercoles Gigante!  Persia slayed as emcee and Executive Director Ani Rivera brought on a few teardrops with her heartfelt thanks and impassioned words on behalf of the cultural soul of the Mission.  La gente knocked back palomas and cans of Tecate as they swarmed the patio, gagged over Persia, Glamamore and the Spice Queers and boogied down to just about every queer superstar dj in town.

San Pancho, you haven’t forgotten how to show your love hard and strong.  Joshua Abeyta was there to catch the pachanga after the show and the smiles of a summer night- S.T.

Stephen Torres - Threadbare-Fact Finder (Editor, San Francisco)

Stephen's early years were spent in a boxcar overlooking downtown Los Angeles. From there he moved around the state with his family before settling under the warm blanket of smog that covers suburban Southern California. Moving around led to his inability to stay in one place for very long, but San Francisco has been reeling him back in with its siren song since 1999.
By trade he pours booze, but likes to think he can write and does so occasionally for the SF Bay Guardian, Bold Italic and 7x7. He also likes to enjoy time spent in old eateries, bars and businesses that, by most standards, would have been condemned a long time ago.
