BIG WEEK presents curated recommendations across arts, music, food and nightlife in San Francisco. Edinburgh Castle has permanently closed, prompting reflections on its role as a beloved hangout for hipsters from the late 1990s through early 2010s. A Women's Building fundraiser at The Chapel features Pleeay, host Amoura Teese, and a Bay Area all-women and gender-expansive DJ lineup across two rooms including DJ Umami, DJ Kream, mare.e.fresh, Sizzle, and Lizzy Al Toque. Mae Powell releases Making Room for the Light on Colemine/Karma Chief Records, blending country twang, blue-eyed soul, and folky structures, evoking a distinctive Bay sound.
Big news of the week: We're incredibly sad to hear that one of our old hangs, Edinburgh Castle, has closed. As bard Broke-Ass Stuart puts it, "If you were in your 20s or 30s in San Francisco at any point from the late 90s to the early 2010s, and somebody could've called you a "hipster," then you most likely spent some wonderful nights at Edinburgh Castle." Pour one out for the Castle, as the saying goes.
FRI/22: THE WOMEN'S BUILDING FUNDRAISER Man, who does not love the Women's Building, with its fierce array of resources and fabulous facade? Terrifically theatrical local act Pleeay plays this benefit at The Chapel; Amoura Teese hosts; and a Bay Area all-women + gender-expansive DJ lineup brings the vibes all night long in 2 rooms: DJ Umami, DJ Kream in The Chapel, and mare.e.fresh, Sizzle and Lizzy Al Toque in Curio/Main Bar. Let's dance. 8pm, The Chapel, SF. More info here.
