Daytime Realness 15th Anniversary: 2-8 p.m. Sunday, July 19. $25, must be 21 or older. El Rio, 3158 Mission St., S.F. www.elriosf.com<\/a><\/p>\n Long before drag brunches became the norm, Daytime Realness debuted at El Rio on July 17, 2011, as a party bringing drag and nightlife culture out into the sunlight. A hit from the start, the event has grown into a San Francisco institution, with DJ sets and drag shows taking over El Rio’s patio on the third Sunday of each month from spring through fall.<\/p>\n Daytime Realness was created by three queer nightlife producers, the late drag icon Heklina<\/a>; DJ Carnita, aka Tom Temprano of the party Hard French; and DJ Stanley Frank Sensation. It has since served as a haven for a diverse cross section of San Francisco’s queer communities both onstage and in the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n On Sunday, June 19, the founders\/DJs will be joined by guest hosts Per Sia, San Francisco’s current Drag Laureate, and performer Yves Saint Croissant. Special guest DJs include Charles Hawthorne and Bay B Sol, with drag performances by Beef Cakes, Glamputee, Translucent, Bettyie Jayne and Hennessy Williams.<\/p>\n Subscribe<\/p>\n There’s more to San Francisco with the Chronicle.
