The 2013 debut of the Nitey Awards will take place on March 4th at the historic Castro Theatre. The Nitey is an award dedicated to honoring excellence in SF Nightlife's world-class, always fun, multi million dollar industry.
The Niteys were conceived Site and Sound, a nonprofit who supports and promotes music, the arts, and popular culture.
The Niteys also enjoy the considerable life experience and backing of Audrey Joseph, former President, and current member of the San Francisco Entertainment Commission.
Having Audrey on board is no small matter. Her resume is unmatched in SF Nightlife. She opened the wildly popular club and event venue, 177 Townsend/174 King Street, home to the infamous clubs Pleasuredome and Club Universe. Both were ground zero for the then burgeoning Gay Circuit scene. She founded Mezzanine (444 Jessie) which has led the way for new and established DJ talent to showcase their skills. She has also organized countless benefits for LGBT causes, the LazyBear event and served her community on a variety of successful projects.
According to organizers the concept for the Niteys occurred after the City released it's 2012, economic impact report, "Nightlife, the Other 9 to 5", that'd been commissioned by Sup. Scott Wiener and others to analyze the impact of club/bar life on the wealth of San Francisco. The figures spoke for themselves. Millions upon millions of funds to both the economy and the tax base plus over 48,000 jobs. Somewhere a light bulb went off and it was apparent that this kind of success deserves to be officially recognized and awarded.
