by Michelle S. on I'm that girl. The girl who is the crazy magnet. If a crazy person were to hop on board of a train full of crazy people, that crazy would sit next to me and tell me his story. It happens. A lot. So, I BART into Civic Center so as to walk to the lovely Lea B.'s bachelorette party, and I am freaked the #@% out about where I am. I'm an Oakland girl, people. However, that stretch between the Tenderloin and the SOMA scares the crap out of me. As such, I was walking, alone, to Asia SF when some scraggly, scruffy, bearded, probably toothless junkie came up to me. This whacked-out dude was PANTING and then said, sounding like Dr. Frankenstein's Igor, "PRETTY LADY." EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! GROSS! Right? Well, I suppose I needed the ego boost because the "shemales" (a term coined by Lea B. herself in highschool) totally gave me an inferiority complex. So, after I felt like a fugly loser while watching the "ladies" shakin' not exactly what their momma's gave them, I must say that it is a must-see. Probably the best you're gonna see outside of Thailand! It's kinda like Bay to Breakers. You have to go at least once. More than once if people from out of town are coming. It's expensive, though. The drinks are kinda weak for the money. They do a pre-packed party thing which makes big groups easy. But, damn, those shemales sure could work the lucite shoes and daisy dukes! Oh yeah, they "tea bag" too. Don't know what that is? Watch "Pecker." *Michelle S. puts cupcake down and forces herself to go to gym*
by Chong Anglin on Pros: Amatuer strip night. Always crowded. Cons: Amatuer strip night. Always crowded. I prefer Rain except for the line. There are still hot boys, especially on college night, but the music is cliche, it's too crowded to move around most of the time (and people can't keep their hands to themselves). Trying to get outside past the dance floor? Prepare to become a human buffet, and good luck NOT spilling your drink. The recent renovations have helped, but really, a full size redesign would help. Why does the front bar take up half the floor space? The place just needs twice the floor space - they should've taken over what was Boyz Cellar.
