Fag Fridays is moving!
Well it looks like another San Francisco Institution is moving to a new location. Fag Fridays is moving from the legendary Endup at 401 6th street @ Harrison in San Francisco to a new location @2935 16th Street(Between Mission and South Van Ness),San Francisco, Ca.
This Friday October 12th that is the last day there and they will be moving to new digs.
I can tell you this that I remember the Endup fondly from the many years that I went there. I can remember the first time that I went there. It was one of the first bars that I went to when I finally admitted that I was gay. I will tell you this I was terrified and I hid in the back and watched what was going on. I was 21 and really had no clue as to what to expect. But the music helped me overcome my fears and I hit the dance floor. Just like the Trocadaro Transfer I met some lifelong friends who share so many of the same memories. There are so many interesting stories that I could tell you all about the Endup.

This is the same club where Ron Pearson was discovered after a jockstrap dance contest where I was a judge. And if you wanted to know Ron won the contest that night. I being a judge was given free drinks for the night and needless to say I took full advantage of them.
This is a flyer for they're
Grand opening at their
new location

That was also the same night when I almost started my own porn career. Needless I was stopped by a good friend from going that route. I was so drunk that night that a friend drug me out of the club and we chilled in his car till we sobered up enough to go back in the club. take a wild guess where we went after the endup closed, if you said the Trocadaro you would be correct. and wer were back at the Endup sunday moring for "Sunrise Church Services" yes I was a wild child in my youth and I still can be a bit wild to this day. Just a little more responsible thats all.

Maybe in another post I will go into more Endup stories. So if you are in San Francisco tonight you might want to pop by for a cocktail and a twirl. It should be a good time and I know the music will be hot.

How about a post about Ron Pearson he was a huge Porn Star in the 80's when so much of Gay Porn was filmed in the Bay Area.
ReplyDeleteAhh those were the days Party till the Sun came up Sunday morn and yes in my Early twentys that meant going to real Church all bleary eyed on NO SLEEP!
Great posts Elm!
I was there Friday night. It was great to see many old friends and make some new ones. Juanita More had a fabulous outfit. I will miss the awesome house music on Friday but there will still be Sundays at the Endup. Fag Fridays at the Endup had a long and memorable run.
ReplyDeleteDamon that is bullshit you were not there.
ReplyDeleteElm, I was in Boston on Friday, that post is not me. Someone is lying about that. I wonder who it was?
