Where can San Franciscans revel in an oddball weekend that alternatively celebrates the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, Friday the 13th and St. Valentine’s Day? At The Hypnodrome, of course, where Thrillpeddlers kick off their 2009 season with benefit performances featuring an audacious and eclectic mix of live music, sensual show-and-tell and on stage interviews with counterculture icons conducted by V. Vale.

Three nights only, these very special events include all-new acts from Thrillpeddlers, EmCee’d by our chubby cherub RJ Owens. The company will also perform songs from their upcoming summer offering, Pearls Over Shanghai, a revival of The Cockettes’ 1971 musical featuring two of the show’s originators, Rumi Missabu and Scrumbly Koldewyn.

Capping off the evenings are V.Vale’s interviews with singer/songwriter Jill Tracy (on 2/12), montage artist Winston Smith (2/13) and punk legend Jello Biafra with The Stooges sax player Steve MacKay (2/14), taping live for Re/Search Publications’ “Counterculture Hour” cable TV show.
