ciphergothAm in San Francisco.
Two hours sleep in forty-four hours. Trying to stay awake for longer to fight jetlag. May start to write total nonsense.
Glargh!

Well, Death Guild (http://www.deathguild.com) tonight is the larger weekly dark music dance event. (Bauhaus, Front 242, Siouxie, Assemblage 23, et cetera.) Bondage a Go-Go (http://www.bondage-a-go-go.com/) is Wednesdays and is more explicitly kinky. The music is fairly similar although there is a flavor difference.
As far as random tourist stuff goes, all the usual suspects apply - Golden Gate Park is nice, the museums are full of interesting bits (although apparently SFMOMA is currently installing a new exhibit and is half closed), and the mission is full of hipsters. The bridges are impressive public works. The redwoods up in Muir Grove are impressively tree-ish. We have lots of hills and a fair smattering of good restaurants -- if you want to dine at a high-end place this weekend, you should make reservations by Wednesday, and earlier is better.
826 Valencia (http://www.826valencia.org/store/) is San Francisco's only independently owned and operated pirate supply store; worth the visit if you're in the neighborhood; also check out Paxton Gate (http://www.paxtongate.com/) next door for the giraffe and squid, and Borderlands SF bookstore (http://www.borderlands-books.com/) is a few doors down with (it feels like) every SF book ever published.
Other neighborhoods worth visiting include Haight St (Amoeba records, lots of imported curio shops, Magnolia Brewpub (http://www.magnoliapub.com/), the Red Vic Movie House (http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com/) and B+B/cafe (http://www.redvic.com/)) and North Beach (City Lights bookstore (http://www.citylights.com/), bazillions of american-italian restaurants and Lusty Lady (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusty_Lady) in the city's campiest red-light district, as well as tourist vistas galore).
I can give more ideas if you provide some guidance for what kind of thing you're interested in...
