*FILM: She Done Him Wrong (1933) screens at the Castro Tonight. What's is about? Well, according to CinemaSource, "Lady Lou works as a singer at the Gay Nineties saloon of Gus Jordan, who plays her with diamonds to keep her by his side. She runs afoul of stalwart Salvation Army captain Cummings, who warns her that she''s on the road to perdition. Though Lou herself steers clear of criminal activities, Gus Jordan runs a counterfeiting and white slavery ring. Also, Lou's ex-lover Chick Clark has been sent to jail for stealing diamonds for her. Things come to a boil when Chick breaks prison and goes gunning for Lou." But for all intents and purposes, it's that film where Mae West coos to Cary Grant, ""Why don't you come up some time and see me?" (Which was then changed to "...see me sometime" for her next movie, I'm No Angel.)
CLUB: Tonight's Noise Pop afterparty, intriguingly titled "Italians Do It Better In San Francisco," will be held at...Harlot. Why not? DJ Mike Simonetti spins tonight. We look forward to not remembering what happens tonight come tomorrow morning.
ART: Tonight's "Experimental Film & Video Art Series" over at Varnish Gallery, which happens on the last Wednesday of every month, features strong work by Bay Area women filmmakers. According to SF Weekly, "Terrie Samundra, known for her short film A Short Tale of Xuan; dreamy, glowing, impressionistic work by Vanessa Woods; and Jill Johnston-Price's animations are all curated by Scarlett Shepard, founder of the San Francisco Women's Film Festival." Yay! And you can get dunk off of some of the choicest wines in the Bay Area to boot.
MUSIC: There's no other noise to hear tonight save for the sounds coming from Noise Pop. Check out tonight's schedule here and here.
