Homosexual visitors to New York in the mid- and latter 2000s may have found themselves in the downtown club known as Mr. Black, which was the brain-child of promoter Stuart Black and originated in a cool, underground, brick-walled space at Bleecker and Bowery and was the scene of some popular Friday and Saturday parties. After a drug bust shut the original club in 2007, Mr. Black resurfaced in two more locations before closing yet again, and franchising in Los Angeles (NSFW). Now, years later (kind of like with Broadway show tours), San Francisco will get its own taste of the action, under a partnership with Rebel and promoter Joshua J, on Thursday, March 1.

Below is the full flyer, and you can expect music spun by local DJ Stanley Frank as well as Aaron & Aaron, as well as a bevy of "hosts" dressed all up for the occasion — including someone performing the pivotal role of The Ass, who has posed with everyone from Boy George to Perez Hilton [links NSFW!].

And yes, this is a gay club, but the straights and ladies are welcome, especially if they're cool and wearing something photo-worthy.
