A few days ago we reported on a marijuana shop in San Fran having to close. But you know the city is under a total collapse when a “drag club” has to close.
““This is very much a transition, and the end of an era. However, hopefully, it is the beginning of new opportunities for our vision and the Ladies of AsiaSF,” Hashbarger said.
AsiaSF offered a dinner-and-a-show experience featuring a Vegas-style drag show on a runway stage and award-winning Asian cuisine. It was voted “One of the Top 100 Hottest Restaurants in America” and “Best Ambiance” by OpenTable. It has hosted over 1 million patrons since its opening.
You know a city is collapsing when you find a burglary in a police station and a marijuana shop and club for drag Queens close. When will they admit, this is a dead city?
Iconic San Francisco drag club AsiaSF is closing

(KRON) — In 1998, Larry Hashbarger and Skip Young founded a restaurant and cabaret in San Francisco, hoping to celebrate diversity and multiculturism. Twenty-six years later, that club — AsiaSF — is closing.
The ladies of the popular drag club will put on their last show this spring after it was announced it would be closing.
“It’s been an extraordinary run and an incredible privilege to work with our transgender Ladies of AsiaSF,” said Larry Hashbarger, Founder and CEO of AsiaSF, in a news release.
Hashbarger said the closure stemmed from the changed nightlife patterns since the COVID-19 pandemic and the financial hardships that came with it.
The club’s last dinner show will be March 31, on International Transgender Day of Visibility.
“One of our missions of AsiaSF has always been to create a trans-positive environment that educates and raises awareness about living your truth and being your authentic self,” Hashbarger said, “while at the same time providing our guests with a ‘time of your life’ experience.”
While the brick-and-mortar restaurant will be shutting down, Hashbarger said there is a chance there will be pop-up events in the future.
“This is very much a transition, and the end of an era. However, hopefully, it is the beginning of new opportunities for our vision and the Ladies of AsiaSF,” Hashbarger said.

I declare March 31, International Transgender Day of Invisibility. And the rest of 2024 the International Transgender Year of Invisibility.
All we have to do is close our eyes to any story or promo about this lunacy, stop reacting to all their attention-getting nonsense. Bye.
