You can count on San Francisco to keep things real, and last night the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence didn't just keep it real, they kept it really entertaining.

Was it a coincidence that the sisters had dinner reservations next to the very conservative Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio (aka "America's Toughest Sheriff&quot last night at John's Grill in Union Square? Whether it was or wasn't, last night's surprise dinner guests made for some great Kodak (and Hallmark) moments.

It appeared that Arpaio, the sheriff who was proud to support Arizona's controversial anti-illegal immigration law, wasn't too thrilled to be dining that close to the salacious sisters, who were grabbing a bite before the annual Drag Queens on Ice show.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Thanks, and a tip of a very cold Manhattan, to the sisters.

but "Drag Queens on Ice" sounds interesting.

5. I had the pleasure of hanging out with them last year

[xchrom]

11. You just want to stand aside when they drop acide

And get on their roller skates.

17. I must have been...

A drag queen in my past life. I always want to join in the fun.

22. Awesome ladies!

I was recently "blessed" by the good sisters again on Halloween.

4. Wow. Blast from the far far past.

Had forgotten and did not know that the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence still existed.

Edit to add:

Was going to say someone would write a history and looked at wiki.

My earliest memories must have been of the Cockettes rather than the Sisters.

7. San Francisco Values On Board

[awoke_in_2003]

9. No way the seating...

was coincidental. I applaud the restaurant and hope Joe was very miserable. Fuck that guy.

10. What was that fool doing in San Francisco? He polluted the city. nt

[struggle4progress]

12. I do so hope they invited Joe to come along with them to DQoI

[jmowreader]

13. I wish the Bulldozer Collectors Club would crash Joe's dinner

Why would that psycho be in San Francisco anyway?

[Mr.Bill]

16. Probably fund raising.

They (conservatives) all like to talk about how they hate California, and how the state is bankrupt, but they all come here looking for money. Even Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney fund-raised in the San Francisco Bay Area.

15. I love John's Grill. I also love the good sisters. I don't even kind a like the Arpaio.

John's Grill is mentioned in the novel The Maltese Falcon. Sam Spade has chops. Hammett had an office up stairsin the Flood Building which is where John's Grill is located.

19. Ah, how well I remember the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

when I lived in SF in the 70s and early 80s. Those reverend ladies with glitter galore in their beards and bras as head wimple always focused my gaze in complete fascination. No SF Gay Pride Parade would ever be complete without them. '

You girls rock!

23. The Sisters are beautiful people who speak from the heart!

Like all Sisters should!
