THE ROB BENZON FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER

So many things to do, so little time to do them all, so difficult to choose... Well not really. When it comes to "must do" events this Pride season, this is one of the absolutes. Rob Benzon was know for his willingness to help others and his family members and friends have made sure that his legacy continues by turning his tragic death at 31 into a force for good. A quote taken from the RBF website states, "What [Rob] loved most was to remind people every day is a precious gift. He took great pleasure in making others smile and laugh... The all-volunteer board is comprised of a group of friends, dedicated to the legacy of Rob Benzon by bringing smiles to others." Join them on Friday, July 20 for this delightful outdoor soir�e at the Historic Burnham House-located at the north end of Balboa Park- for delectable tidbits, cocktails, enchanting music and an extensive silent auction. For tickets and more information go to robbenzon.org.

MICHAEL MACK PRESENTS: PRIDE DANCE ON THE BAY

Ay mates, shiver that timber, don that scabbard, polish that hook and climb aboard for the best sea (or port in this case) adventure this summer. Michael Mack presents his annual Pride Dance on the Bay on Friday, July 20 on the fabulous Spirit of San Diego. Seems like we just got off the last Memorial Day Cruise with the hottest boys, greatest music and a stunning performance by Debby Holiday. Think you can't top that? Well, DJ Kimberly S is spinning so hold on to your peg-leg 'cause this one's gonna "blow you down." Enjoy the evening skyline, have a few swigs'o'rum and watch the fireworks-literally. A better view of them cannot be had, so get thee to the boat, walk the gangway and hoist that anchor with the rest of us! The Spirit of San Diego is located at 1050 North Harbor Drive. Boarding time: 7p.m. and the ship departs promptly at 8p.m.-with fireworks starting at 10p.m. For tickets and more information go to: michaelmackpresents.com.

Dance the weekend away with world-class DJs, top-notch performers at the best venues in town. Here's the line up:

PRIDE BALL

This late-night dance can keep you going till the cows come home-it's at one of San Diego's only late-night venues-Club Spin keeps the party going on Friday, July 20 till 4:00 a.m. Many of us remember it as Club Montage-or maybe your memory is a little vague... Hmmm, I wonder why? The perfect place to refresh those memories and to start the weekends dance-a-thon, with DJ Louis Perez at the controls starting at 10 p.m.

CIRCUIT DAZE

Two for the price of one: for DJs that is. 4th and B is the venue and this Saturday, July 21 party always delivers a truly "endless summer" night. DJ Cahill starts the evening off with his distinctive sound, followed by Italian import and music prodigy DJ Danny Verde to bring you into the wee hours of the morning.

THE ZOO PARTY

Lions and tigers and bears-oh my, Oh My, OH MY! This is one of San Diego's most distinctive parties of the year and the only one in the world to take place with in the boundaries of an internationally known Zoo. Come and see the animals-and then come dance with the other animals to the music of DJ Wayne G and Andy Almighty as the sun sets on Sunday, July 22 from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. And watch for a special performance by "Master of Music" Peyton, interviewed in Rage!

FETE ACCOMPLI

And you thought the Zoo was the last stop... Not so. Back to everybody's favorite black box in downtown, 4th and B is the location for the final punch in this "endless summer weekend." Change your outfit and take a power nap, then take your tush out for the last hurrah Sunday, July 22 from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. with DJ's Pagano, Rosabel, Able and Rosario.
