Photo of the night.  

I will be setting up a photobooth at Bearracuda this Saturday to take iPhone photos. The photos will have faces smooshed against plexiglass to make it appear like you are trapped in the phone. This ingenious idea was was Fred-the-Plummer’s, pictured below.… and his lovely partner Donovan…Bearracuda is a party for Fun, Friendly, Furry guys held every 1st & 3rd Saturday at Deco Lounge on Larkin St. in San Francisco. This week’s DJs are DJ Underdog and Matt Consola. Link.

Hollywood has come to the Castro as Gus Van Sant has actually started filming “Milk”, a movie about the life of Harvey Milk, San Francisco’s first openly gay elected official.   The neighborhood’s in a state of excited anticipation.   For those with no day jobs (myself included), you might even catch of a glimpse of Sean Penn arm-in-arm with James Franco with the occasional screen kiss. Sean’s butt in 70’s jeans Yesterday they were filming a rally at the Muni Station.  The Castro muni station has been boarded up because all of Market streetwas a construction site when the subway was being built in the 70’s.  And here’s a shot of a sleepy James Franco yawning between shots. Today I felt like the papparazzi.  Around the filming there are always people politely asking you not to take photos.  So hiding in the window of Hot Cookie… ahem.. I mean Double Rainbow… is necessary now and then to get a good shot.   For more pictures visit SFist: “More, More, More…“ and Gay Cities: “Milk: Sean Penn and Emile Hirsch“  Link to my continuing photo coverage on Flickr.  Towleroad has some great ongoing coverage of the Castro transformation and history.  Link
