'Golden Girls Live' returns to the Mission District this year. (Mr. Pam)
It’s the holiday season and you need to get out of the house, no matter how cold and dark it gets. Here at KQED, we care about seasonal affective disorder so much that we’ve collated some of the most dependable holiday events in the Bay Area. Many events listed here are annual traditions; some are promising newcomers. Before the gloomy skies get to you, pick one or two to help make the season bright.

SF Gay Men’s Chorus
Revel in “Elfstravaganza,” the Gay Men’s Chorus latest holiday showcase. With the choir serving their most elfin looks, an operatic Santa Claus, and “lumbersexuals” and nuns thrown in for good measure, this year’s show will be one for the books.

Holiday Gaiety
We’re not quite sure what to expect with this newcomer on the scene at the San Francisco Symphony.

Dec. 8 at Davies Symphony Hall More Information

It’s been the living room for so many people, not just in the neighborhood, but across the country. During the ’60s, it really started off as a leather bar, and then really became more of a Western bar. But it quickly evolved into a place where everyone felt welcome — whether it be women, queers, hair fairies or trans people. So many different groups and communities feel welcome at the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My favorite story of the Stud is that during the ’60s … Huey Newton, who was one of the leaders of the Black Panther Party, made this incredible speech where he talked about building unity between the women’s movement and the LGBTQ movement. One of the first places that the LGBTQ Liberation Front and the Black Panther Party actually met was at the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Stud has faced several closures in the past. And every time that idea became more of a reality, it sounds like community members who really care about the bar came together to keep it alive. In 2016, when the previous owner was going to retire, you and other artists, DJs and performers got together and started the Stud Collective. As I understand it, it’s one of the first co-op nightclubs in the country. How has this collective model made a difference as you get ready to open the state again?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was sort of, I don’t want to say an act of desperation, but so many LGBTQ nightlife venues were closing all across the country, and especially here in San Francisco. LGBTQ venues were being priced out. Certainly, that was the case with the Stud, where the previous owner was just like, “I can’t afford to pay triple what I was paying in rent. So I can’t do this anymore.” And he really made a callout to the community, hoping that someone would come and save the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stud has always been kind of a dive bar \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">— \u003c/span>more of a community space than a big moneymaker.

It was lots of long nights, lots of arguments, lots of personalities and ideas. But ultimately, I do think that having collective ownership of a space like the Stud is really important because it ensures that the space remains open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13880908\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13880908\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/05/First-Stud-gay-pride-float-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/05/First-Stud-gay-pride-float-.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/05/First-Stud-gay-pride-float--160x115.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Stud’s first Pride float in 1974. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of The Stud)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I’m curious to understand more about that journey, especially because of COVID and the aftereffects of it.

It’s been the living room for so many people, not just in the neighborhood, but across the country. During the ’60s, it really started off as a leather bar, and then really became more of a Western bar. But it quickly evolved into a place where everyone felt welcome — whether it be women, queers, hair fairies or trans people. So many different groups and communities feel welcome at the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My favorite story of the Stud is that during the ’60s … Huey Newton, who was one of the leaders of the Black Panther Party, made this incredible speech where he talked about building unity between the women’s movement and the LGBTQ movement. One of the first places that the LGBTQ Liberation Front and the Black Panther Party actually met was at the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Stud has faced several closures in the past. And every time that idea became more of a reality, it sounds like community members who really care about the bar came together to keep it alive. In 2016, when the previous owner was going to retire, you and other artists, DJs and performers got together and started the Stud Collective. As I understand it, it’s one of the first co-op nightclubs in the country. How has this collective model made a difference as you get ready to open the state again?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was sort of, I don’t want to say an act of desperation, but so many LGBTQ nightlife venues were closing all across the country, and especially here in San Francisco. LGBTQ venues were being priced out. Certainly, that was the case with the Stud, where the previous owner was just like, “I can’t afford to pay triple what I was paying in rent. So I can’t do this anymore.” And he really made a callout to the community, hoping that someone would come and save the Stud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stud has always been kind of a dive bar \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">— \u003c/span>more of a community space than a big moneymaker.

When I came with my dad, we’d order fresh gaufres from the Belgian waffle vendor, then browse the ripe nectarines and strawberries that were in season. Sometimes, we’d get rotisserie chicken and potatoes for lunch from one of the food trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I even tried dim sum for the first time. One Saturday we noticed a stand called \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/trugourmet\">Tru Gourmet\u003c/a> that sold all kinds of steamed dumplings and buns. We ordered dumplings and crispy chicken wings, which turned out to be our favorite. Then we found somewhere near the booth to eat it all standing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was about 10 years ago. As it turns out, Tru Gourmet is still around, setting up its stand at the Grand Lake Farmers Market — and \u003ca href=\"http://trugourmet.com/locations/\">two other farmers markets around the Bay Area\u003c/a> — every week. When I visited their tent on a recent Saturday, the line was so long that it almost crossed in front of the vendor next door. Inside, the cooks were busy heating the dumplings in bamboo steamers. Everything smelled so good, it was hard to choose.

Before my family left Texas in the 1960s, my grandma made the chicken and pound cake for their journey into San Francisco. So we have that pound cake that she made — but [with] the addition of the caramel. I make it the same way that she taught me to make it. It was one of the cakes that everyone in the family wanted for their birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have fried chicken, which is the highlight of what we do, [and] the addition of the rosemary, is very San Francisco with so many rosemary bushes here. So those two married together — the flavors that migrated during the Great Migration with the fried chicken and then the freshness of the rosemary in the city, where I was born and raised. It’s like a perfect blend of Chef Fernay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>It almost seems like your approach to soul food is tradition with a little twist.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly! It’s tradition with a little twist. But the twists are not so much that it doesn’t display a homestyle comfort meal. That was so important for me, for people to eat the food and feel the comfort of home.

It was one of the cakes that everyone in the family wanted for their birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have fried chicken, which is the highlight of what we do, [and] the addition of the rosemary, is very San Francisco with so many rosemary bushes here. So those two married together — the flavors that migrated during the Great Migration with the fried chicken and then the freshness of the rosemary in the city, where I was born and raised.

It had but one hidden entrance, at the end of a narrow lane, encased on all sides by dense rows of trees and tangled blackberry vines. Still, Sutro decided that this isolated southern crest of Mount Sutro would be the perfect place to build his dream home. A mansion that, 40 years later, more closely resembled something out of a nightmare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13881990']Sutro’s mansion, dubbed La Avanzada, cost $250,000 to build (about $5.4 million in 2022 money) and was designed by English architect \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_G._Stoner\">Harold G. Stoner\u003c/a>. It had three stories, 15 rooms, a footprint of 15,000 square feet, and several turrets. It had unusual features like big stone lions at its entrance, a door completely covered with animal hide, and wall sconces that could accommodate torches. Each room was decorated elaborately with wood panels, stained glass and spider-web motifs. One room even resembled a Swiss chalet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutro lived in the mansion with his mother for 18 years, but when they left, they did so in a hurry. In August 1948, Sutro sold his home for less than half of what he had spent on building it. The buyer? A brand-new television station, KGO-TV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13919697\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 795px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13919697\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/opensfhistory_wnp26.1405.jpg\" alt=\"An old mansion with turrets and multiple levels sits incongruously with a giant communications tower emerging from directly behind it.\" width=\"795\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/opensfhistory_wnp26.1405.jpg 795w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/opensfhistory_wnp26.1405-160x201.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/opensfhistory_wnp26.1405-768x966.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">When KGO-TV moved into the mansion, it was responsible for putting up the first tower and antenna on Mount Sutro. \u003ccite>(OpenSFHistory / wnp26.1405)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>KGO Radio had long operated out of 420 Taylor St. in downtown San Francisco, but those studios were not equipped to accommodate a TV station. KGO’s chief engineer A. E. “Shorty” Evans scouted suitable locations and landed on the Sutro mansion as the perfect place to build out a studio. (In 1949, the \u003cem>San Francisco Examiner\u003c/em> called it “the finest site in the Bay Area for the purpose.”) A director of engineering for Channel 7 named Harry Jacobs was brought in to build a 500-foot transmission tower for KGO-TV. It took a year to construct and had a range of 60 miles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KGO agreed to terms in its real estate contract that forbade the company from altering the mansion’s exterior or cutting down trees on the property’s five acres, unless it was absolutely necessary. The TV station even agreed to have no more than 25 people on the land at any given time. In the channel’s earliest days, that was doable — it broadcast for only 12 hours per week. (Within a year, that amount had increased to 35 hours.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the house, the former library acted as a rehearsal studio. The mansion’s ballroom hosted variety shows. Its great hall was used as an “auxiliary studio for live telecasts.” The lounges were remodeled for office use, and the bedrooms were locked up altogether. It didn’t take long for Sutro’s former house to get a creepy reputation.

A few hours later, her best friend forever, Lucy Chase, was found wandering the town streets covered in blood. While Lucy was never formally charged with the murder, the community convicted her lock, stock and a full plate of barbecue. Five years later, Lucy has come home just as true-crime podcaster Ben Owens arrives to produce an episode of his show, \u003cem>Listen for the Lie.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13956050']As Ben encourages the tetchy, secretive Lucy to share her side of the story with him, she relaxes beneath his sunny, handsome gaze and starts to look at the truth. Unfortunately, truth doesn’t matter much to the residents of Plumpton, who long ago made up their minds about a young woman whose persona chafes against their ideas of femininity. Fortunately, by the time you meet the Plumptonites, you’ll have been mesmerized by Lucy’s hilarious, self-deprecating first-person narration. “It’s probably unfair to say that a podcast ruined my life,” she tells readers, and then, as she talks about making dinner during which she’ll break up with her clueless boyfriend: “Let this be a lesson to all the men out there who can’t handle conflict — man up and dump your girlfriend, or you might end up living with a suspected murder indefinitely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Podcast episodes interspersed between Lucy’s chapters form a clever way for Tintera (already a bestselling YA author; this is her debut for adults) to draw out the suspense. Revealing too much about the other characters might ruin that cleverness, but it’s important to note that even when the story has ended and the murderer found, there are secrets within secrets, the kind that women have long used to protect each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Where You End’ by Abbott Kahler\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956154\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 832px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13956154\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM.png\" alt=\"A book cover illustrated with winding bare tree branches and two rabbit masks.\" width=\"832\" height=\"1214\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM.png 832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-800x1167.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-160x233.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-768x1121.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘Where You End’ by Abbott Kahler. \u003ccite>(Henry Holt and Co.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Abbott Kahler’s debut centers on a young woman named Katherine “Kat” Bird, who has a near-death experience after her car collides with a deer, and wakes to near-total amnesia. She remembers her twin sister, Jude, who tries to fill in all of the blanks in Kat’s memory, but as Kat slowly recovers, she realizes Jude’s recounting of events contradict her own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did the sisters have an idyllic childhood, or were they raised in a cult? If the latter is true, why would Jude be trying to pretend it never happened? Kahler (who has written acclaimed nonfiction as Karen Abbott) constructs a thriller so perfectly paced that you actually will not be able to put it down. You’ll be longing at each step to see how much Kat remembers and how much Jude complicates the memories.

Fortunately, by the time you meet the Plumptonites, you’ll have been mesmerized by Lucy’s hilarious, self-deprecating first-person narration. “It’s probably unfair to say that a podcast ruined my life,” she tells readers, and then, as she talks about making dinner during which she’ll break up with her clueless boyfriend: “Let this be a lesson to all the men out there who can’t handle conflict — man up and dump your girlfriend, or you might end up living with a suspected murder indefinitely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Podcast episodes interspersed between Lucy’s chapters form a clever way for Tintera (already a bestselling YA author; this is her debut for adults) to draw out the suspense.
