Shooting at Ten15 Folsom
One person was injured and another killed by gunfire this weekend at the San Francisco nightclub Ten15 Folsom.
Then Ruby Skye opened as a beautiful club downtown. The space is pretty great but the crowd is intolerable- all the hotel concierges in town send the tourists there. This is too bad, as Ruby Skye now has the booking that Ten15 used to, and that place wasn't as overwhelmed by amateurs.
Now, unfortunately, the crowd at Ten15 (I hear) is very much a South Bay crowd of amateur clubbers, the kind who buy glow-things that you chew on while too high on ecstasy and drunk at the same time, grabbing the asses of women; some of whom like to have their asses grabbed.
However, a shooting at this club changes everything. I remember a very thorough search at the door, so I'm surprised that a gun got inside. Ten15 has had consistent problems over the years, and has had violence outside the club but not inside to my recollection. This makes me wonder what the future holds- was this the last straw, or will Ten15 endure?

Quiz: How club trash are you?
At what point in the above blog entry did you wonder what the music was and who was spinning? If that was the first question that came to your mind (it was for me), then you are serious club trash.
Here's the surprising answer: It was Paul Van Dyke night. This is both amazing in that Ten15 booked PVD instead of Ruby Skye, and also that someone got shot during it. PVD's music doesn't exactly incite violence. (Note: if you know exactly what I'm talking about, you're still club trash.)
Police responded to 1015 Folsom, a club located on Folsom Street near Sixth street, at 3:30 a.m. after people inside the club reported hearing two to three gunshots, according to San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens.
Inside the building, police located an injured man on the club's lower level. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 4 a.m., Gittens said.
A second man, who was shot in the left elbow, was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Gittens said.
Ten15 is a legendary club in San Francisco, although its heyday has come and gone. It was formerly the best club to hear big acts like Kruder and Dorfmeister or Derrick Carter up until 2001 or so.
