*MUSIC: Hotel Utah launches a brand spanking new party, YEAR. The night is being labeled as an "innovative branded concept," hosted by KUSF radio personality and creative director for the Mill Valley Film Festival, Dennis "The Menace" Scheyer. Each month at YEAR, one year will be celebrated -- ranging from 1956 to 2006 -- and the playlist for that month's event will be the top hits from that year. Which year will be the focus for tonight? Find out for yourself tonight over in SOMA.
COMEDY: Head over to Cobb's where Last Comic Standing will tape amateur comics performing their "best" material to (hopefully) make your guffaw. It will be a hilarious/painful night of comedy. Not to be missed.
CLUB: Tonight's theme at Charlie Horse, one of the best club nights to catch drag in the entire universe, is "Valley of the Dolls." How fitting. (Get it? Because the trannies are all on drugs over there? Eh.) Anyway, if you can't make it tonight, lucky for you Ana Conda hosts this show every Friday night at the Cinch.
FILM: Check out Noise Pop 2008's documentary film offering, . The "sincere" film about the titular schizophrenic musician screens over at the Roxie.
The listed events were chosen by the editors of SFist and brought to you by the 2009 Toyota Corolla.
