*MUSIC: We've got two tastes for you tonight. First, aging rockers Queensrÿche perform at the Fillmore. They use an umlaut in their name, so you know they're hardcore. Too much? Then, how about award winning R&B songstress Veronica Klaus over at Enrico's? She's blusey and cabaret-y -- a stellar combo.

FILM: Richard Kelly's disastrous follow up to college campus favorite , Southland Tales -- a sprawling SoCal tale set over the course of three days ,ending in a massive 4th of July celebration -- screens tonight at the Red Vic. Read more about it here.

CLUB: Noise Pop kicks of the festivities with a some Mika Miko over at the Rickshaw Stop. Temponotempo also performs, and although it looks like a concert show, it's mainly a night infused and littered with local musicians and music writers, respectively. A big shmooz fest that's actually a lot of fun.

COFFEE KLATCH: Looking to chat with other black queer gents likeyourself? Head over to SF Brothas at Three Dollar Bill Cafe tonight. They meet every Tuesday.

The listed events were chosen by the editors of SFist and brought to you by the 2009 Toyota Corolla.

"I am not gay. I never have been gay," lisped Republican Idaho Senator Larry Craig, with his beard wife, Suzanne, by his side.

After getting arrested by an undercover office in a Minneapolis airport boy's room for engaging "in actions 'often used by persons communicating a desire to engage in sexual conduct,'" the GOP senator plead guilty to a disorderly conduct charge, with the hope that it would all quietly go away.

Well, it didn't.

What's more: while some gays snort a line or eight of crystal meth to deal with their self-loathing, others, such as Miss Lawrence Craig, for example, vote for a constitutional ban of same-sex marriage, vote against adding sexual orientation as a basis for hate crimes, vote no on prohibiting job discrimination by sexual orientation, and more. Fabulous.

See you at Twin Peaks, grandpa. Or in hell.
