Multi-million-dollar donation saves San Francisco’s Oasis nightclub
Meesha Jones thought she’d serve her last drink on New Year’s Eve.
“I’ve had, you know, multiple small breakdowns over the past,” Jones said.
Oasis nightclub, where she’s worked the past 10 years, announced plans to close six months ago.
New Year’s Eve was slated for the final performance.
A last-minute, multi-million-dollar donation turned the final curtain call into an encore performance.
“It means everything. It means everything,” Jones said. “Like this place has been through so much and provided so much.”
The club first opened in 2014 as a small drag and cabaret that quickly captured the hearts of San Franciscans. But the club struggled, especially after COVID dealt a rough financial blow.
No one was more devastated than owner and performer, D’Arcy Drollinger.
“Sometimes things shine so brightly, but that’s also what makes them unsustainable,” Drollinger said.
Drollinger had almost given up when they came across Sky Stevens, a fan of the club.
A quick meeting over lunch changed everything, giving Drollinger the donation of a lifetime.
“It gives us a little runway time so we can hire a development team to raise money for the nonprofit, so we can be sustainable over time, and that we can underwrite all the programs, and we don’t get in a situation where we were before,” Drollinger said.
The club will remain a cultural beacon for San Francisco’s LGBTQ community, but now Drollinger hopes to elevate it, turning drag into a widely respected art form, one that loyal patrons, like RJ Singleton, can enjoy — though he never doubted the club would return.
“It’ll be a place for people that are newly out of the closet, that are trying to find community,” Singleton said. “They’ll have another year and another year and another year to be able to come to a place to find their community and discover themselves.”
Division-leading Dodgers aim to snap home losing trend as they open series against the Giants in a matchup of NL West foes
After dropping their second straight home series over the weekend, the Los Angeles Dodgers head into Monday night’s series opener against the San Francisco Giants sitting atop the National League West Division standings, aiming to avenge a series loss to the Giants from two weeks ago. San Francisco has lost nine of its last 12 games overall and have dropped seven in a row on the road as they begin a 10-game road trip that will keep them away from home until Memorial Day Weekend. The Giants will start Trevor McDonald (1-0, 1.29 ERA) in his fourth start in the Majors while the Dodgers will counter with second-year Japanese import Roki Sasaki (1-3, 5.97 ERA) who has given up a home run in five consecutive outings.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the McCoven who hopefully have better things to do than watch this dreadful baseball team. But if this is your chosen way of spending the day, then welcome, and may the Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the series for you.
Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants, as the veteran makes his eighth start of the year. He’s 1-4 on the season, with a 5.00 ERA, a 4.91 FIP, and 34 strikeouts to 18 walks in 36 innings. He was very strong his last time out, pitching 5.1 shutout innings against the Tampa Bay Rays.
For the Pirates, it’s right-hander Bubba Chandler, a 23-year old in his second season. In seven starts this year, Chandler is 1-4 with a 4.76 ERA, a 5.60 FIP, and 31 strikeouts to 26 walks in 34 innings. Chandler gave up two runs in five innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his last game. He has issued the most walks in the Major Leagues, so he’s probably foaming at the mouth to face the Giants, who apparently believe that drawing walks is a sin on par with murder.
Enjoy the game, everyone. Go Giants! Go moms!
