Stop the Presses

Honey Sound System is getting some much deserved! Check out this interview with my homie Jacob Sperber over at SFgate.

"10 Best Butts of 2009"

My BYGAS brother Oscar has been named one of the 10 Best Butts of 2009 by Butt Magazine (an honor he CLEARLY deserves). I just love Christmas, don't you?

"Way Harsh Tai"

TMZ is reporting that Brittany Murphy had a heart attack this morning at 8am.

She was 32.

There is a 'white christmas' joke in there somewhere, but honestly i'm too sad to make it.

She was one of the great young comedic actresses of her time, and i'm gonna miss her like 'woah,'

Too Proud For Love

It's always startling and astonishing when a song rips the words from your heart, and says them better then you ever could.

Come as you Were

We are having a 90s themed birthday party for some of the very special Sagittariuses in our lives, tomorrow night at the House of Monsters. Bring booze, and boozed up hot friends dressed in their most 90s attire. See you kids at the mall!

Jason Villalobos: Media Darling

The ADAP rally was a success (in that it got the camera crews out, thus letting the good people of the bay area know that this problem even exists) And it has to be said that a lot of the success was do the fantastic speech delivered by Jason Villalobos (above!). Since the rally Jason has become something of a media darling.

The Return of AIDS

I've been putting off writing about this for days. I keep meaning to sit down and write down my experience with ADAP and why it's so important, blah blah blah... it should be easy. But i just keep staring and a blank screen or jotting down uber-bland jems like "Please join me on the polk street steps of city hall for a fun filled day of AIDS activism," i mean, seriously. And this rally is tomorrow, so after another failed attempt last night i said 'i'll sleep on it,' and i got up early this morning and opened up my lap top and i just couldn't focus! and now i'm sitting here at my desk and i finally figured it out. I'm scared.

A good GOOD friend of mine, a brother, has been in and out of the hospital recently. He found out he was positive several years ago, didn't seek out the care he needed and now he has AIDS. I have been kind of a crazy person lately... hospitals a rough places for me at the best of times, and he is so important to me... But he is gonna be okay. He is getting the care he needs and he is gonna be okay, he is gonna be okay thanks to ADAP. Because without ADAP there is no way he would be able to afford the anti-retrovirals and other incredibly expensive medications that he needs to get better. Neither could I, or almost any of my friends. My Brothers.

Now i have to imagine a my world without ADAP and that means a world of AIDS. If you cut funding for ADAP you will take away the only source of life saving medication for thousands of gay men. We will die. That simple. It'll be the 80's all over again. And the thought of watching half the people i love wither up and pass away, before i finally go too... I don't want to have to think about that.

So if you ever wanted to do something for your Positive Brothers, YOU CAN DO THIS. We will be on the Polk Street steps of City Hall tomorrow at 11:30. We will be easy to find, just look for the homos wearing red and waving signs. Project Inform has lined up some great speakers, like Cecilia Chung and Jason Villalobos. We will Save ADAP. Lives depend on it.

Random Awesome Things

I just found excellent instructions on Aries Wrangling.

New York is full of sexy boys.

Straight boys never fail to amuse me.

The sea is full of beautiful/hideous monsters.

Chilidog: Hiatus

Ever since I moved to San Francisco, three years ago, Chilidog has been the secret sun that my world has revolved around. I met most of my good friends there, or people who would introduce me to my closest friends. It was the location of the first Ambrosia & the Bearnstiens show. It's born witness to break-ups and black-outs, mischief and making out. And now she is going on hiatus, hopefully to return in the new year at a new location.

Come by tonight to say 'until next time' to DJ Stanly Frank and the place that has been my Cheers for the last three years. There is no cover, $3 drink specials, and the 37th 'last' performance of Ambrosia Salad before she flys off to the Mysterious East to confront her nemesis.
