Queer: Theory

Last night i saw 'DON'T FEEL: The Death of Dahmer' at MCVF.

I'm sitting here looking at a blank screen because i don't even know what to say.

It was an hour of some of the most brutal and gut wrenching performance i've ever seen in San Francisco.

Evan Johnson is terrifyingly transcendent as Jeffery Dahmer. He builds this frightening, manic, self destructive energy and maintains it through the whole show. He so embodied the subject that he made me seriously uncomfortable, (and Evan is a friend of mine).

Fuck.

Go see it, this is the last weekend.

Where I'll Be Drinking

I have a confession to make (no, i haven't become a feeder twink). I said some thing about calming down after NYE, but that hasn't really happened. In fact it's pretty much been one adventure after another. And it looks like the week ahead is gonna be no different...

Tonight is TOO MUCH! at MCVF which will feature ten solid hours of queen performance 'from 5 minute line dances to 3 hour makeout sessions, from ritual memorial to punk disruption, from 6 minute stop animation video to 60 minute dance-performance,' starting this afternoon at 2pm. Rumor has it birthday girl Vivvyanne Froevermore will be in attendance, and yes, cash is a perfectly acceptably present.

And of course Honey is tonight at the Paradise Lounge. $8 beer bust from 9 until 11, and resident DJ's Ken, Jacob, Josh, and Robot bring the beats that keep you on your feet(s).

Over at Cocktail Gate Spaz and company are presenting The King is Dead, which was originally pitched as a tribute to three Capricorn kings; Jesus, Elvis, and Martin Luther King Jr. But has ballooned into a celebration of every dude who has ever had a crown on his head.

The Capricorn tributes continue on into Wednesday when we'll be gathering at the Space Gallery from 9 until midnight for my friend Paige's birthday.

And afterwards i'll be stumbling over to Booty Call where the impossibly awesome Eric Shutterslut is the guest photographer (he always manages to find some cute angle on me, no matter how trashed i get, well... except for the pic at the top of the page, but thats not really his fault.)

Thursday Handbook is having a launch party for their January issue @ Eros (confession: i've never been to Eros, weird.)

And Friday bring the much anticipated Some Thing

Where I'll Be Drinking

Hi Everybody! And welcome to a whole new year, a whole new decade. This year i attacked NYE with a zeal often only seen in pre-crash rock stars and Penn State frat boys, so i hope you will understand if i keep my outing to a minimum this week.

Tomorrow night (Sunday) The Family will be gathering at Honey Sunday, the weekly "gay witch disco kidnapping" for cocktails and the sharing of war stories.

Friday Anna Conda is launching her campaign for District Six Supervisor with a meet n' greet/ fundraiser at Truck, 5:30 to 8pm. I'm going to take the opportunity to get to know the candidate a little bit better and get a sense of what she stands for.

Saturday from 2pm til midnight MCVF will be an epic 10 solid hours of queer performance "featuring emerging and established artists, video, a dinner hour, a make-out room, and a dance party. Co-produced with and staged at Mama Calizos Voice Factory. Co-curated by Julie Phelps, Keith Hennessy, and Dwayne Calizo," It'll be $10 all night.
