Reminder: Folsom East This Sunday

Don’t forget that Folsom Street East takes places this Sunday on 28th Street in West Chelsea. Even if you’re not down with the scene, it’s hard to resist any reason to stand in the sun and drink beer with 10,000 scantily clad perverts.

This year’s performers include punksters Kissy Kamikaze, dance hotties Noa Tylo and Frederick Ford, SuperNova, Trai la Trash, and Sylvia Tosun. Best bet: Godfather of Punk and Blowoff kingpin Bob Mould goes on at 6PM.
