Goth Salon?

Is there currently a Goth Salon in SF? What I mean by Salon is similar to the definition of Wikipedia:

... a gathering of stimulating people of quality under the roof of an inspiring hostess or host, partly to amuse one another and partly to refine their taste and increase their knowledge through conversation and readings, often consciously following Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "to please and educate" (aut delectare aut prodesse est).

There are a bunch of clubs which happen on varous nights, but I find it difficult to meet people and actually have conversations in that setting. It'd be nice if there was some place where Goths just met and had some drinks, maybe a little food, could talk about music, fashion,. culture, etc...in a non-pretentious, friendly way.

If you know of an already existing thing like this, please post where/when. It should be an open-to-the-public event. If it does not already exist in SF, if you are interested in starting something, let me know. I don't have a huge list of friends or connections (which is why I am interested in this sort of thing) but I do know of an ideal venue for it. It doesn't need to have a DJ, an iPod play list filled with ambient goth music would be adequate...

    Sorry, I'm English. However, you might try what the Leeds goths have done in the past to welcome new people to their group, and have a picnic. Find a nice park, bring an iPod and speakers, and advertise it across any sites that your local goths frequent, maybe even flyer a little in local goth shops. Remind them to bring food and drink.
    I've always found the atmosphere very friendly at these gatherings, and if the sun goes in, then there's always a pub nearby we can vacate to and continue our chattering there.
