You already missed DJ Purple’s final show at Jack’s — DO NOT MISS HAÇETERIA‘s FINAL NIGHT AT DECO! THIS IS THE BEST DANCE PARTY IN TOWN, AND IT’S YOUR LAST CHANCE TO CATCH IT AT ITS LONGTIME TENDERLOIN HOME!

The Omega has arrived as this November we bid adieu to the Deco Lounge after 2 great years of late night dancing, guest djs, guest live performances, visuals, and photos. This November we present a very special residents night celebrating the past but looking forward towards a rebirth of a bigger and better Haçeteria that lies beyond. Join us in celebrating our 2 year anniversary and the end of a great San Francisco nightlife institution, the Deco Lounge.

RSVP and invite your friends!

End of an era! Last night, DJ Purple officially closed out his years-long tenure at Jack’s with an intimate four-hour performance attended by first-timers and longtimers alike. Jack’s provided the $5 mini-pitchers of Busch, DJ Purple and the rest of us did the rest.

SFist reports:

After seeing an increase in violent crime and gang activity in the Mission over the past few months, SFPD will ramp up their presence around the elitist yet gritty neighborhood. Spurred on by the four homicides that occurred in the district in the past two weeks, SFPD Chief Greg Suhr told the press yesterday that the department would be sending in more plainclothes and uniformed officers as well as additional patrol cars and motorcycle units to cover problematic spots like the 16th and Mission BART plaza.

“The temperature is hot right now between the Hispanic gangs,” Chief Suhr said at a press conference yesterday, although he declined to specify which gangs exactly. Citywide, there have been 58 confirmed homicides this year, up from 44 homicides around this time last year.

Our pal Lindsey tells us all about it:

The reclining swing at Dolores Park is one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever been on. You strap yourself into it, then with even the slightest push find yourself nearly inverted, hoping centrifugal force overrides gravity for just another few seconds. [link]

But is it more terrifying than the Tulip, or more gravitationally weird than that weird slide?

From the official invite:

This Halloween, the Unresolved Love Life of Evelyn Lee takes a trip to the Australian Outback, and we’re all invited!

Aussie-rules Berlin-style ping pong will be happening in the back, and a very special real-life Aussie guest bartender will be slinging the drinks she and Nicole Kidman grew up on back home in Queensland. (They’re weird but good.) Drink specials, Aussie bands on the juke box, candy, Aussie snacks, prizes for costumes. Marsupials. Free!

Tonight! RSVP and invite your fiends!
