We’re in San Francisco! As the cradle of gay culture, the City by the Bay is home to fabulous folks who’ve shaped the way we think of all things rainbow.
Why did it become so gay? Was it the sailors that settled here after World War II? Was it the gold miners shacking up during those long cold nights? No matter how it happened you look at it, San Francisco is the place for delicious dishes, hot destinations and innovative drag queens.
We’re staying in the beautiful Hotel Mark Twain in downtown San Francisco, so we had to order room service, and who popped in with a serving cart of fabulousness? Peaches Christ and Curtis Jensen! Two of our San Francisco favorites.
It’s a blast having one of the most famous drag queens in the whole world hanging with you in your hotel room and swapping stories about campy films. Peaches and I both just LOVE the film Showgirls. Peaches shares with us some new interesting stories about what makes the film such a spectacle.
Listen as we talk with Curtis and Peaches on how the tacky film on Las Vegas Showgirls came to be, and why Elizabeth Berkley might be one of the greatest actresses of her time.
We had an amazing experience at the Star Trek Experience in it’s final death throes. The Star trek themed Las Vegas attraction is scheduled to close on Sept 1, 2008. We met people that were married on the bridge of the fake Enterprise, a woman who rode the rides over 700 times and another woman who we just had to hug because she was so sad that she had tears in her eyes that the the place was closing.
We ran into a lovely listener Austin from Salt Lake City at the Star Trek Experience. He was with his drag family enjoying a meal at Quark’s. We dished about Vegas, the show and we discovered that there is a bit of a rivalry between San Francisco and Salt Lake City Drag Queens. Will the drag wars continue? Listen to find out what Peaches has to say about the state of drag in San Francisco.
There is a silver lining to San Francisco’s Halloween woes and Peaches has the recipe for fun. Yes, we know it’s only August but for the gays it’s never too early to plan your Halloween costume and festivities.
Since we are staying at the Hotel Mark Twain here’s a little quote from Mark Twain just for fun, “I don’t like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.”
If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to listen to the Feast of Fools podcast.

Nick Starr feels more comfortable text messaging than he does placing a phone call. Watching him work his iPhone, I see that his text message function gets used a whole lot. As an internet junkie Nick embraced texting early on, before it became many people’s primary form of communication.
He was also one of the […]

We’re in Las Vegas! A city full of bright lights, slot machines, lavish shows and tacky things everywhere. A great place to visit, but being surrounded by so many people gambling the night away on slot machines and roulette wheels makes me panic a little. Like the end of the world is near.
Las Vegas […]

How is the internet affecting us? Recently we held a public form (with LifeLube) on the topic on how online communites, podcasts, forums, blogs and videos are changing not only the way we see ourselves, but how the general public thinks about queer folks.
Let’s face it. There’s a whole lot of crazy on the […]

Some guys just know how to take a good photo. As I was walking around Market Days this weekend, I asked a hunk in his swimming trunks to pose for me and usually most hunks turn to the camera and smile, well, this guy turned his face upwards and started tugging on his swim trunks. […]

The terrible tornado that almost blew the city of Chicago apart on Monday averaged almost 800 lightening strikes a minute. Yeow!
One nice thing about the calamity is that it took place towards the end of Monday night’s Zodiac Wine Tasting event, so suddendly we had to huddle in a men’s bathroom with over 80 men […]

Joost, are you Dutch? If so, then yes, twitter suicide would not be interesting to you since assisted suicide is so common in the Netherlands.
