Welcome to the Sisters

A Nun on Your Side

	Though Sisters always want you to indulge when it comes to life (heck, it's part of our name, you know), nevertheless you want you to do it (whatever it is) safely. Below are some of our on-going campaigns that aim to keep you safe and, remember, you always have a nun on your side.

	• Play Fair Safer sex techniques intended to give you the basics and encourage you to get informed, have fun and lose the guilt.

	• Stop The Violence A practical guide on how to stay safer in the streets, as well as resources if you are the victim of a crime.

	• QP! Sister maeJoy's tips on how to take care of yourself during Pride, or at any time for that matter.

	• Bicycling Safety We're lucky to live in a city that makes it fun and easy to get around on two wheels. The Sistes want to make sure San Francisco cyclers get around safely and smoothly, so we're offering you some nunly biking wisdom.

The Fair Oaks Project

Friday, June 7, 7pm
Center for Sex & Culture, 1349 Mission
Free

Frank Melleno’s restored Polaroid photography captured an extraordinary glimpse into pre-AIDS gay sexual culture. Melleno was part-owner and night manager of The Fairoaks Hotel, a unique San Francisco bathhouse operating from 1977 to 1979. His candid images are remarkable, documenting the social and sexual behavior with celebration and no apology. The Fairoaks was owned and operated by a gay commune, lending a counter-culture approach to the establishment. There were monthly theme parties including costume and “Open Door” parties, when room doors would be removed from hinges. Many images contain nudity and erotic scenes. The Boyfriend, a singing trio tracing its origin to performance artist Vaginal Davis, will perform at the opening.

$5 suggested donation at the gates
Click for details

The night before Pride, the Sisters bring the party to the streets by closing them to traffic and then pumping multiple sound stages with music to create the largest nighttime street party in San Francisco. We will feature food trucks along Market Street where the Dyke March will once again finish its parade from Dolores Park. Party until late, go to bed, get some shut eye so you can do it all again Sunday at the Pride Parade downtown.

Up Your Alley

Sunday, July 28, 11am - 6pm
Dore Alley, San Francisco
$7 to $10 suggested donation at the gates
Click here for more details

The smaller, and some say the more local and intimate, of the two Folsom Street fairs, Up Your Alley's gates will once again be "manned" by Sisters to collect your donations. On your way in give us a squeeze, a pinch or a goose - but be sure to give it until hurts - before entering San Francisco's street party for the leather, kink and alternative adult lifestyle communities. Funds collected help support a multitude of San Francisco-based and national charities.
