My Wednesday brings all the boys to the yard.... Tonight: The Make Out Room is dedicating tonight's PYT dance party to the memory of Sarah Tucker, who founded the monthly club event and was tragically killed in a hit-and-run bike accident two weeks ago. All proceeds will go to Uncommon Legacies, a group Tucker supported. Thursday: Take a private tour of the Contemporary Jewish Museum in support of its exhibition "Intersections: Reading the Space," an exploration of three women artists on faith, patriarchy, and collaboration. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a piece of cloth that the three artists, located around the globe, each worked on and passed along to the next. The museum's at 121 Steuart Street, call 415-292-1233 to register or for more information. and Friday: Stargazing! Bring binoculars and a red-colored flashlight (to preserve your night vision) to the SF Botanical Gardens tonight. Sunset is at 5:28 p.m., and the gazing begins at 6. They promise you that guide Bing Quock of the Morrison Planetarium will be able to point out sights like Saturn, Mars, and the Taurus constellation tonight, but we gotta say, the only one we can ever find is Orion. $8 members, $12 non, reservations appreciated at (415) 661-1316, meet at 5:45 outside the main gate.
