The year is coming to an end, and with one month left to go, we start December by honoring those who have passed away from AIDS on World AIDS Day. In addition to today's Inscribe event, which welcomes all to write the names of departed loved ones on the Castro's sidewalks, the Chronicle will once again screen its documentary Last Men Standing, which follows the lives of eight men who are long-term AIDS survivors.
In other news related to neighborhood history, Castro resident and LGBTQ activist Cleve Jones will be hosting a launch event for his new memoir, When We Rise, at Strut on Saturday. The book is the basis for the ABC miniseries of the same name, which filmed in the Castro this spring and premieres early next year.
If this cold weather and rain makes you think of snow in the Sierras, then you should check out Ski Bums: Avalanche San Francisco this Sunday at Hi Tops. Ski Bums is aiming to be the go-to LGBT host for trips to ski resorts, so check out what they've got planned for this year's snow season.
Finally, ever wondered about how Eureka Valley became the Castro? Stop by the Eureka Valley branch library Tuesday evening for a presentation that includes rare photos hosted by author Jim Van Buskirk.
Have a great week!
