TUESDAY, JUNE 20

MY FRIEND DAHMER: Marc Meyers has transformed Derf Backderf's best-selling graphic novel My Friend Dahmer into a movie that's screening at the Frameline Film Festival. If the novel is any indication, the film will be amazing (because, see, the book was amazing.) Backderf actually grew up with cannibal serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and remembers the murderer's quiet descent into madness. Castro Theatre, 429 Castro Street, 9:15 p.m., $14.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21

SUMMER CHEESE AND CHARCUTERIE CLASS: Up your hosting game and learn principles for pairing meat and cheese in this delicious summertime class at the San Francisco Cheese School. Cured meat expert Vanessa Chang will introduce students to a variety of American and Italian charcuterie, and cheese expert Michael Kalish (best job ever) will pair each meat with its ideal summer cheese. Throughout the class, guests are served Prosecco (or water if alcohol is not your thing). San Francisco Cheese School, 2124 Folsom Street, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., $79.

DYKE CODES: Travel back in time to the post-disco, pre-internet era for "Dyke Codes: Coming Out Outside The Bubble," which is sure to be some fascinating storytelling. This show will feature a "new generation of old-school queers share their stories about coming out as young dykes of color outside of big city life," including stories from Mona Webb, StormMiguel Florez, and Dawn Rudd. GLBT History Museum, 4127 18th Street, 7 p.m., $5 to $15 donation at the door please.

THURSDAY, JUNE 22

CHOCOLATE AND ART SHOW: Check out some of San Francisco's up-and-coming artists, photographers and creators at this three-day show that'll feature live body painting by Cassandra Love Lambert and live music from the likes of DJ Rundown, DJ Nomad, and DJ Fresh Touch and various live bands on the venue's patio. We're most excited about the show's scheduled face-painting, live portraits and most importantly, free chocolate.

MATT ALBER: Come see Matt Alber (beloved by the New York Times) along with Anne Steele as the Portland-based singer-songwriter returns to San Francisco. Alber's a big deal now, with his music appearing on Grammy-winning albums and prime time TV shows, but fun fact: he used to perform in Beach Blanket Babylon. Swedish American Hall, 2174 Market Street, 8 p.m., $20 - $54.

FRIDAY, JUNE 23

WALKING DISTANCE: Distances Cortas (translated: Walking Distance) was nominated for five Ariel Awards, which are basically the Mexican Oscars. It's now playing here in San Francisco, complete with director Alejandro Guzmán Álvarez in person for Q&A following Friday and Saturday's screenings. Walking Distance is the story of Fede, a man who weighs 450 pounds and lives confined to his home. His life blossoms when a simple trip to photo lab changes his life forever. Bring tissues to this one. Roxie Theater, 3117 16th Street, June 23 - June 29, 7 p.m. (except June 25 at 6:30 p.m.), $11.

TRANS MARCH: The San Francisco Trans March, now in its 14th year, is San Francisco's largest transgender Pride event and one of the largest trans events in the entire world. Everyone is welcome to take part (and volunteer too — you can sign-up here) in this year's theme, Celebrating Resilience with Love & Resistance. The 6 p.m. march is actually preceded by a number of events, including live performances, speakers, and a youth/elder brunch. Get the full-line up here. Mission Dolores Park, 19th & Dolores Street, speakers and performances begin at 3 p.m, the march begins at 6 p.m., and speakers continue at the end of the march at Turk and Taylor at 7:30 p.m., free.

SATURDAY, JUNE 24

ICE CREAM COOKING DEMO: The downright adorable Tyler Malek, head ice cream maker of the growing ice cream empire Salt & Straw, will offer a cooking demonstration as part of CUESA's Market-to-Table series. Salt & Straw, for the unfamiliar or lactose intolerant, is super chic ice cream in Portland, LA, and San Francisco with flavors like Peach Vinegar Cobbler with Toasted Nutmeg. We've been licking their cones for a while now. CUESA Classroom at the white tents in front of the Ferry Building, The Embarcadero, 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m., free.

SADE VS. BADU TRIBUTE: DJs Cuts, Lady Ryan and special guest DJ (taco emoji) will pay homage to the music of Sade, Badu, and friends including the music of Jill Scott, Common, and D'angelo Outkast last into the (presumably warm) Oakland night. The first 50 people in the club will receive a copy of the new SADE VS. BADU Vol. 4 mix by MR.E. Starline Social Club, 2236 Martin Luther King Junior Way, Oakland, 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., $10 for entry before 11 p.m.

SUNDAY, JUNE 25

KOOL AND THE GANG AT STERN GROVE: Stern Grove's free concerts return this weekend with the Big Picnic starring Kool & The Gang. Oakland-based Quinn DeVeaux will open for the Grammy-winning band that brought us "Get Down On It." Per usual, Stern Grove is free and you'll want to get there super early to score prime picnicking spots. Celebrate good times, come on you guys. Sigmund Stern Grove, 19th and Sloat, 2 p.m., free.

ALL DAY I DREAM: Head to Golden Gate Park's Hellman Hollow for what I think is a dance party. I'm not really sure but it looks like the sort of thing A LOT of you will be into. The day begins with yoga and an opening ceremony featuring sound healing, massages, chakra balancing, face painting, and live art. All of this is followed by live music, food trucks (although outside food is allowed,) oyster shucking and a Bloody Mary bar, a lot of barefoot dancing on grass, and women in bedazzled headbands. Hellman Hollow, Golden Gate Park, JFK Drive and 25th Avenue, 12:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., $39.40.

CAT POWER: The tremendous Cat Power headlines The Fillmore in what is sure to be a spectacular show. The swoon-worthy songstress is a singer-songwriter, musician, occasional actress, and model who suffers from extreme stage fright — which make her live shows famously interesting. The Fillmore, 1805 Geary Street, 8 p.m., $67 - $144.
