Staple
I saw it on sfraves, and just had to check it out. Staple was insanely cool.
First, the cover was four bucks, as opposed to the fifteen they charge at other venues. The DJ was spinning some seriously cool house. It was a beautiful time. The dancefloor was much less annoying, in terms of size and lubrication, than the one at Il Pirata.
There was only one thing about the entire evening that left a foul taste in my mouth — the mounted animals all along the wall near the bar. I could expect to see them in Idaho, but not in San Francisco.
I ended up dancing with this really cool group of people who harangued me about the fact that I don’t have an album out (okay, I like to sing while I’m dancing, and I sing well), and why I’m not on a stage. I took it as a serious compliment. I danced with too many deliciously naughty San Franciscans.
I picked up a shitload of flyers. They look like interesting events. Why pay fifteen dollars to get into 1015, when I can go to very cool events, like the Staple thing, for four?
