Hangin’ and bangin’ on a Saturday night: It’ll be the standard dinner-gallery-nightclub run with a few comrades. Not too original. A little of the same old same-old, but certainly manageable. I’m sure that some of us have clubs or floating parties that they try to attend on a frequent basis – places where the scene is always worth the trouble of going out. I know how bummed I’ve been whenever one of the reliables closes down, relocates, or dwindles away into nothingness.A favorite, long-running San Francisco event – a monthly shindig rife with DJs, live bands and performance artists, art on the walls, massage therapists, and a great (albeit trendy) crowd of Boho regulars and parading freakazoids – is being forced to move from its customary setting with a wonderful rooftop garden, a chill-out lounge, and numerous side-rooms. (Some evil bastard made a complaint to the cops, and, well, you know the rest.) Although I’m sure the next location will have charms of its own, I already miss the usual haunt.What’s a guy to do when they close up his favorite honky-tonk, and the patrons go elsewhere? Move on to the next one, I guess. Dwight Yoakam, singing Buck Owens, probably knows how I feel. Do you?
