contest with prizes: Guess the AIDS victim

-This from the great local film maker Gary Fembot, director of the sweet, funny, sexy “Mondo Bottomless”. A benefit for his upcoming film, “AIDS Camp – or Survival in the 21st Century”. Director Fembot has proved to be an unique voice in Gay cinema possessing the uncanny ability to inject the joy of being alive with a visual eye rooted in the nostalgic, a sort of homosexual Roger Corman. Come support Gary in his determination to take on his toughest film subject yet. From what I know most of this film has been shot and is in the editing stages, stayed tuned for updates!

You know, originally I was just going to post about a few options available tonight but now that I have these three fliers in one place I wonder if I should do an expose on flyer design. Ok, specifically flyer design for the gay stuff. Everybody: there are options other than porn. Even if its extreme and amateur and funny porn.

Anyway, Anavan plays tonight at monthly beard party Trans Am. One of the dudes in Anavan runs eggcityradio and I appreciate all of the downloaded goodness I get from that site. Hard Place assure us the band is great live and I’ve been wanting to check them out since we had to leave before their set in Austin. Kdaija (who has no internet presence in 2008) and Ambrosia Salad will emote in wigs. DJ Dirty Knees keeps this party going every month. For completenesses sake I should mention Dee Jay Pee Play of Honey Sound System is playing too.

Club Feral is also tonight for those of you who are more gutter punk goth freak than beard fag. I like this club because they have a bake sale and I’m usually hungry. Death Of A Party, sexual terrorists Wealthy Whore Entertainment, the totally deranged Stalker Holler, and Goo perform. Plus, our buddy Gary Fembot from The Clap and Violent Vickywill be spinning records. Keep your eye on gary though, he’s totally going to flyer you for his band’s show coming up this Friday.

Doesn’t Randy look great in that photo?? Carletta Sue Kay play tonight and they summed this show up better than I could:

lee is going to freakin’ kill me. he just came home blasted. i made him something to eat. he told me to f@#k off then passed the F(%k out on our bed. i went to see if he was okay and he had sour cream ALL OVER HIS FACE. wanted to take a picture but in the end decided to be nice. instead ive opted to drink all if not most of his ardbeg. he’s gonna KILL ME!!!! oh! right! we are playing tonight, saturday, at 285 9th street at the Nine Gallery. the sound is actually going to be really nice so COME ON OUT YALL!!!! it is absolutely, 100 per cent FREEEEEE, and…now im speaking to all my friend’s livers….AN OPEN BAR!!!!!! AND, there is going to be some really lovely art and probably a few people who you quite likely would not introduce to your family. always fun. so come on out and hear our sad sappy songs. we love you….FOREVER…EVER….EVER…EVER….randy

This was my first time at Club Feral. I don’t really know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t the mix of 50’s man lesbians, PNW indie grandma clothes (and underwear!!) and clippered head punk scene that was going on. It was cool though, those kids are all really nice and I had fun even if I don’t quite get the fashion sense.

It was kind of a weird evening. The Passionistas felt somewhat out of place on the line up with Didimao and Connie Fucking Francis. Actually, I like lineups that don’t sit quite right. But also Aaron, one of their principal song writers and guitarists, was home sick sick sick and they were playing with Elton Tom on drums because Tina was out of town. They’re such troopers.

Because this was a benefit for cutter photozine, there were celebrities in the audience. Its really too bad Aaron was sick, because most notably Gwen Stefani showed up. She said she came because she loves their album, specifically Aaron’s songs and voice, and she wanted to ask him to be on a single she was recording that night. She was totally bummed he couldn’t be there and said it was too bad it didn’t work out. She couldn’t stay long but we did get some photos with her:

Look at her, she’s amazing! Its like a spotlight follows her everywhere she goes. She’s almost larger than life! And she had three costume changes with her. This lady is totally prepared and put together.

Admittedly we were in a daze for the rest of the show, so I’m going to rely on Gwen’s reactions. Didimao reminded her (and me) of being in college, specifically the student union at some punk show. It was totally that nineties unwound kind of sound.

Gwen thought The Passionistas played a lovably disastrous set. They included some of Aaron’s songs, just for Gwen. She thought they did a great job, especially since half of the band couldn’t be there!

Finally Connie Fucking Francis played. Gwen loved the idea of this — bratty punk rock covers of Connie Francis songs. She loved the way it sounded when these kids tore it up. But, I have to admit, after having seen them a few times I love the idea more than sitting through a whole set. I think I’m alone in this sentiment because Thee Parkside was packed solid and everybody was dancing as Connie’s songs were dragged kicking and screaming into the guttter.
