It's going to be fantastic. We've just added a special "Country Sale" to the event that we know you'll want to participate in. Details are below. Believe it or not, we're now only 49 days away from the start of the Best Buck in the Bay. The excitement around the community is really starting to build and all is shaping up to to create what will be our very best rodeo weekend ever. If you haven't already booked your room at our host hotel, it's not too late, but you should act quickly. Rooms are filling up. Also, rodeo tickets are now available online including tickets for our wild Thursday night bar crawl and the discounted VIP Weekend Passes. We encourage you and all your friends to get tickets in advance at Here's this week's news... Buckin' Alley Dance - July 29th On Saturday, July 29th (the night before the Dore Alley Street Fair) we bring you "Buckin' Alley"--an evening of non-stop country-western dancing for the LGBT community. It all gets started at 8:00 pm at the Cathedral Hill Hotel (1101 Van Ness Ave) in San Francisco with the party continuing until at least 1:00 am. Admission is $10 (free admission for new and existing GSGRA members). "Country Sale" at the Buckin' Alley - July 29th Do you have some sharp country-western shirts in your closet you don't wear any longer? Do you have a pair or two of Wranglers that just don't fit you the way they used too? Ready to trade-in some boots, belts, or buckles? Well... here's your chance. At the Buckin' Alley dance this Saturday night we're setting up a special "Country Sale" in the lobby. Attendees to the dance will have a chance to shop for some new wears and you'll have an opportunity to benefit the rodeo by donating your items. Just bring stuff with you (preferably clean!) to the dance and drop it off at the store. Your donations are, of course, tax deductable! "Up Your Alley" Street Fair - July 30th On Sunday, July 30th summer in the city gets a whole lot hotter with the ever-popular "Up Your Alley" street fair. The Bay Area Chapter is thrilled to once again be hosting a beverage booth at the fair. To all who have volunteered to help in this year's booth, thank you! Look for all of us at the fair on Folsom St. near 9th! Country Karaoke - August 9th The Mint (1942 Market St @ Duboce) is San Francisco's premier karaoke lounge and they're thrilled to be hosting a special night of karoke for all us cowboys and cowgirls. It kicks off at 8:00 pm and we'll keep the party going until well past 11:00 pm. Throw on your cowboy hat, warm up those pipes, and come hit the karoke stage with us. Or kick back with a nice tall drink and enjoy watching all of those that do.
