 SOME THING ANNUAL OFFICE PARTY This town’s best weekly drag show loosens its tie, puts its unmentionables on the Xerox machine, hosts an ugly sweater contest, and will somehow manage to give you a worse hangover than other weeks (holiday magic!)10pm-late, $7. The Stud, 399 Ninth St., SF. www.studsf.com
