<p>The dearth of creativity and art in San Francisco is apparent and nothing short of horrifying. That is, until now. The fine folks behind Pride-season's <a href="http://www.gaygloshow.com/main.htm">GayGlo</a> (remember that?) are back again (finally) and putting on a weekend-long show in honor of the return of Christ (or "Christ"). It's called the <a href="http://www.zombiechrist.org/">Zombie Christ Haunted House</a> and it will be the best thing to happen to Easter since the advent of the Cadbury Egg. </p>

<p>Here's the deal: Brian Busta (aka Chickpea) and some crazy-ass faeries have taken over the <a href="http://goo.gl/oLQqN">old Tower Records space on Market and Noe</a>, and have created a weekend pop-up haunted house. Christ has risen, but this weekend he's coming back as a zombie. A gay zombie, probably. You dig? Early word is that the final setup is brilliant. And if the legacy/aesthetic of GayGlo is any indication (do your homework, twinks), it's going to be way boss. </p>

<p>The haunted house happens on Friday and Saturday from 9pm-midnight. But the big bet is an Easter Day dance party on Sunday from 4pm-7pm (a good rainy Sunday alternative to the party Dolores Park). </p>

<p>If you don't go, you've failed at Easter and hate God. Speaking of, the fete will presumably be critical of Christianity. Just a heads up. </p>

<p>Donations run $10-$20. And proceeds go to LGBT senior housing, counseling, radical queer nuns. If you want to volunteer, go <a href="http://www.zombiechrist.org/">here</a>. If you want more information, go <a href="http://www.zombiechrist.org/">here</a>. If you yearn to have a bitchin' Easter, go <a href="http://www.zombiechrist.org/">here</a>.</p>

<p>Starts tonight (Friday) and goes until Easter Sunday. Next door to <a href="http://goo.gl/oLQqN">Cafe Flore</a>. Hop to it, kids. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Photo: Jesus Spotted Bearing Cross At Sixth And Mission]]></title><description><![CDATA[In New York, the good lord might be <a href="http://gothamist.com/2012/04/06/jesus_christ_blocks_bike_lane.php">blocking bike lanes</a>, but here in San Francisco <a href="http://skinnyfists.tumblr.co...]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2012/04/06/photo_jesus_spotted_bearing_cross_at_sixth_and_mission/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5c242ac244ad066cdcf61f95</guid><category><![CDATA[Arts & Entertainment]]></category><category><![CDATA[christ]]></category><category><![CDATA[easter]]></category><category><![CDATA[good friday]]></category><category><![CDATA[jesus]]></category><category><![CDATA[religion]]></category><category><![CDATA[sixth and mission]]></category><category><![CDATA[sixth street]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew Dalton]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:35:35 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2012/04/jesus_sixthandmission-thumb-640xauto-705685.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2012/04/jesus_sixthandmission-thumb-640xauto-705685.jpg" alt="Photo: Jesus Spotted Bearing Cross At Sixth And Mission"><p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;">  </span></p>
