FREE Summer Solstice Dance Party!

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

summer-solstice-slam

Okay, so we’re jumping the gun by, like, a day. But by the time this party’s over, summer will be in full swing. Go to 800 Larkin tonight for the FREE Solstice Slam!

Let’s get serious for a moment: The Summer Solstice in the U.S. occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is the closest to the sun it’s gonna be all year. From here on out, the days are going to get shorter and shorter (until the Winter Solstice, which is the opposite of the summer one). The event carries great cultural significance; fertility, plants with healing powers, and witches all historically made an appearance.

But y’all don’t come here for a history lesson. For us, Solstice Slam means $2 PBRs and two shots of Jameson or Fernet (blech) for the price of one. It also means a FREE raging DJed dance party.

Solstice Slam at 800 Larkin
800 Larkin St. at O’Farrell [The Tenderloin]
Monday, June 20, 9pm

Sarah M. Smart - Red-Light Special

Sarah M. Smart - Red-Light Special

Sarah M. Smart was summoned into being on a distant ice cream planet
through an unholy union of Two-Buck Chuck and unicorns. They sent her to Indianapolis and then the University of Missouri's School of Journalism
to spread peace and big hair. Perpetually in mourning for the comma, she
has worked for a variety of print media, including Indianapolis
Monthly
, Global Journalist, and Vox. Since moving
to San Francisco for the booming dumpster-diving scene, she has been an
online operative for such fine folks as Horoscope.com , Neo-Factory, and
Academy of Art University. After a day of cat-feeding, hat-making,
dog-walking, vegan baking, and daydreaming about marrying rich, all she
wants is a margarita as big as her face.
