We've got a couple of events on the 500 block tonight to start your weekend off right.

First up, Mad Dog in the Fog (530 Haight) hosts its monthly LGBTQ-themed Pink Friday event. Tonight's special edition starts a little early (6pm), and doubles as a fundraiser for Waves to Wine, a charity bike ride that raises money for multiple sclerosis research. The usual Pink Friday party really gets underway around 9pm, with DJs, drink specials, and free jello shots. As usual, there's no cover.

And/or, wander a few doors westward to the Peacock Lounge (552 Haight) for something a little different: R&B music and spoken word performances.  It's a Soul Sessions SF event, featuring "a kaleidoscope of the baddest singers and spoken word artists from all over!" At least nine different singers, artists and DJs are scheduled to perform. Doors open at 8pm and the show starts at 9pm; tickets are $8 online or $10 at the door.

There you go -- two fun options for your Friday night, and just a few feet away from each other. We could hardly make this any easier. Enjoy.
