Never Too Much: The Latin, Hip-Hop and R&B Day Party
We live in excess. This is a love letter to that excess.
We know the words to the song. And the core message is: you can never be too much. *We* are never too much, family — no part of us, never a day or time. So let's celebrate that excess with a brand new Sunday Funday event in the Castro.
Dress code? Here's our request: Come in the outfits you want to go our in. That outfit that people called too extra. Was it too femme? Too busy? Too fresh? Too revealing? Too hard? Too much? When they said, "Who are you trying to impress?" That's your guide. Exist in excess.
Featuring: DJ Olga T (founder of Mango), Nico C (you know, THAT gogo), and more performing.
Too much? Never could be. We're good where we are.
Sunday, Mar 29, 2-8pm
The Café in the Castro
$5 online, $8 (2-4pm) and $12 (4-8pm) at the door
NOTE: Get a gift ticket to pay it forward; if someone doesn't have the funds, you can cover their entry.

- Must present the physical card when you arrive at each event.
- If you can't make it to any event, you can share the card with a friend (we will record the card number, so it cannot be used by multiple people at a single event).

Pay it Forward for Community
Each event costs us from $400 to $1,000. We pay our performers a minimum of $200 per gig — more than many venues and promoters. And we want to support transit, food, education, and other basic needs while keeping our suggested donations low. When you give, you allow someone else to take part in a space of community, culture, and joy.
