If you don't have a weekend pass for Outside Lands and you're looking for something to do, let's take a look at some great events option going on around the neighborhood.
Tonight at the GLBT History Museum, Felicia Elizondo offers the multimedia presentation "Cruising the Tenderloin in the 1960s." Elizondo, a transgender woman who's self-described as "Mexican spitfire, screaming queen, pioneer, legend, icon, diva, 29-year survivor of AIDS and Vietnam veteran," was a participant in the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria riot, which happened three years before Stonewall in New York.
Strut's monthly art opening goes down on Friday night, featuring artist Mohsin Shafi's exhibition 'One Does Not Look Through A Window Unpunished.' Shafi, who lives and works in Pakistan, "investigates the blurred edges between identity and the intentions of identity."
Weaving Shibusa, a documentary about Japanese denim, has its San Francisco premiere this Saturday night at the Castro Theatre. The documentary film tells the "story of Japanese craftsmanship and dedication, shown through their love and fascination of denim."
Finish off your weekend Sunday night at Beaux by dancing the night away with RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7 fan favorite Kennedy Davenport, who takes the stage for Big Top.
If you haven't already stopped by the newly opened Dog Eared Books on Castro Street, Tuesday evening is a great time to check it out. Monthly reading series Perfectly Queer has found a new home there after the closing of Books Inc. in June, and will feature two award-winning authors, Willy Wilkinson and Vincent Meis.
