It’s time for you weekend nightlife forecast, but first this update from that horribly “hip” new Domino’s BBQ chicken pizza campaign:
Viral! Compare that, of course, with SF’s very own dirty techno birdie, Claude VonStroke — and is anyone else 100 blog centuries old like me, and remembers that whole Burger King “subservient chicken” viral campaign where you could tell the guy in the chicken suit what to do? From like 2k3? OH MY GOD IT’S STILL HAPPENING!!!
I’ll never understand why we always make cute what we want to eat. Except puppies. Even kitties are cheezburger on the Internetz.
But let’s put away childish things, shall we, and dig into some of this weekend’s better affairs:

TONITE! THU/22
THE NOISE
New local promotion juggernaut Hacksaw Entertainment launches with a grab-yr-cha-chas blast at 103 Harriet — featuring, of course, my laptop life-love Lazer Sword bringing the future bass soundz, plus the very talented Ana Sia who’ll bring some of her techno-burner pedigree to the tables, and SF mashup psyphy duo Hookerz and Blow, who blow the hooker-roof off live …. High-tail it to the H&B MySpace page and check out “Blow the Whistler” and it’s Too $hort meets Claude VonStroke (again with him!) for some pure traffic jam genius.

ALPHABEATS
Beloved DJ Andrew Phelan and the rest of the chunky beats Prismatic crew — the promos behind the hyperinventive Tonal color-coordinated loft parties — bring in the big names for their AlphaBeats party, subtitled A is for Alien (I eagerly await B is for BetaMax). I would scoff a little at the umpteenth appearance of 90s god Doc Martin, but his set at LoveFest this summer was out of hand with its perfect blend of old school house numbers and new school choons. Doc’s never really been known for his subtlety on the tables (it’s all about bangin’ hard into the cosmos), but he’s definitely evolved stylistically as a major dance artist. BONUS: Sunshine Jones, of fave raves Dubtribe Sound System, will be on hand to spread it. DOUBLE BONUS: dress as an alien and get a free mix …. do it now!
