The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will be celebrating their 30th anniversary with two big events this weekend.
Tomorrow night (Good Friday), there will be an opening party at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts for the "Under a Full Moon: 30 Years of Perpetual Indulgence" installation, in which the sisters will share their vast archives with the public. "The Sisters have been creating rituals, blessings, art, literature, and general debauchery designed to promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt for the past 30 years." The event is free (donations welcome) and goes from 8 to 11:30 p.m. An RSVP is required (you have until Midnight tonight, do it quick!). The exhibit runs through June 28.
There is also currently an exhibit at the SF Public Main Library's James C. Hormel Gay & Lesbian Center displaying the Sisters' artifacts, records, press releases, photographs, habits, and other objects, which runs through May 7.
On Sunday, the Sisters will host an extra-Indulgent Easter at Dolores Park. In addition to their regular Easter activities, which are Children's Easter (11 a.m. to Noon), the Bonnet Contest (1 p.m.), and the ever-popular Hunky Jesus Contest (3:40 p.m.), there will be a big line-up of performers with very punny names from Noon to 2 p.m.
Then, the Rebirth Processional will immediately follow the Hunky Jesus Contest at 4 p.m., traveling from Dolores Park to the Castro and ending at Noe and Market Streets, where the AfterBirth Party will begin. There will be an Energy 92.7 stage with entertainment between Cafe Flore and Lookout. The party goes until 8 p.m.

Yay Sister Desi Groan!
The sisters are everywhere! They're also going to be on Pirate Cat Radio on the League of Pissed Off Voters show Friday at 6.
On a religious level, I completely understand the annoyance with the Catholic church (reformed Catholic here) constantly poking fun, general irreverence at the piety and customs of The Church. On an adult level and someone pulling for the gay community to stop being treated like second class citizens, I would ask that they stop acting like second class citizens, much like the immigrants who run the nail salons and taco shops who...
That said, see ya at the Hunky Jesus contest!
My money is on Jesus' de Mazatlan!
(even I could not keep that bit going for very long - I even did the capital "C"'s and all that)
See you at Hamburger Mary's!
