On today’s show we talking with our Los Angeles pal Marsian De Lellis, who performed at the VERY first Feast of Fools show, in the Spring of 2008.
Marsian has been super duper busy studying at Cal-Arts getting his Masters in Puppetry Arts and working on a hilarious script about a ice-cream cake heiress and her woeful battles with self-esteem, addiction and space aliens.
But today we’re chatting at one of Marsian’s favorite vegan cafes to dish the dirt and drop names on the bizarre in the global art scene and to talk about more fun predictions for the future.
We all made it to San Francisco in one piece after our Live Podcast in Los Angeles. It was electrifying!
We all had a fabulous time on Sunday at Akbar taping our live podcast, meeting the fans and enjoying the joyful crowd.
Sal-E dazzled everyone not just with his great costume, but with his hilarious stories of visiting Palm Springs and being cruised by some rather questionable folks. Miss Ronnie was her typical true diva self, keeping it real and looking fabulous in her 70s inspired nightgown. Our special guest comedian Sabrina Matthews was fabulous and Steven Peterson sat on a delicious Strawberry Shortcake while Marsian De Lellis forgoed his dietary restrictions and licked off the frosting from you know where.
Yes, we’re always like this. Click here to see Buzz’s photos of the event, or here to see Mike J’s pics!
Marc and I had a great time meeting the fans and getting to know our Los Angeles pals one on one. It was so touching and beautiful to see all the Feast of Fools t-shirts, in their various styles all in one place on so many people. Thanks to Barbara Drumm and everyone else who sponsored the event, we couldn’t have done it without you.
I’ll be posting up photo/audio/video footage next week when we get back to Chicago, as we simply don’t have the ability to render and edit all the fabulous footage on the road. Oh the anticipation!
But some of you don’t have to wait.
If you live in San Francisco or the Bay area, come join us in the fun once again tomorrow Wednesday Oct. 3 at The Stud Bar at 7pm for a special sexy Feast of Fools podcast with Marc Felion and me, Fausto Fernós joined by regulars Amanda Steinstein, Miss Ronnie, Steven Peterson and Sal-E plus special guests comedian Ronn Vigh and Trannyshack drag legend Heklina.

October 2, 2007 at 09:52Thanks Marsian for keeping me updated on the future. Now I am ready!
Sounds like you guys are having a great time. I hope Ronnie stayed out of the hospital this time.
Steven says:
October 2, 2007 at 14:14My ass still smells like strawberries. Just thought you’d like to know. 
PupDon says:
October 2, 2007 at 15:22Steven, is that your way of sayin’ your shit don’t stink? Bwahahahaha!!!!! Tee hee.
Marsian, you are an absolute delight! It was so nice meeting you at the meet and greet. I’m running out to get my puppy fanny pack right now. Do they make them in human puppy size? Hmmmm.
michael says:
October 2, 2007 at 16:58Wow - I love Buzz’ photos! Miss Ronnie is not only funny but also VERY beautiful and SalE a piece of art! And look how handsome and gorgeous the boys look in their suits and dinner jackets… and Steven - I am sure many of us wish to be a strawberry sometimes
Great show!
Mike from Bolingbrook says:
October 2, 2007 at 18:21Alas I am trying to keep up with the show but college papers take precedent.
Still trying to comment everyday though.
I am sure your live podcast was great.

Maia says:
October 2, 2007 at 20:53Loved hearing Marsian on the show today… once a year is NOT enough! Had me in stitches with “Mississippi hot dog” — sign me up as another survivor of the Suzuki cult. Do you guys also remember the “strawberry, raspberry” Twinkle variation? Or was this just something my violin teacher made up? I had to ask, given all this talk of Stephen and his berryliciousness…
I’m so impressed with all the preparations Fausto and Marc and the whole gang made for the live shows… can’t wait to see more footage!
bowdownza says:
October 2, 2007 at 21:38Marsian is downright heelarryus! He should have his own podcast- or at least be featured more here.
Fausto you mentioned something about editing the show and I nearly fell off my bike. You edit the show?!
RcktMan says:
October 2, 2007 at 23:28Marsian! I love hearing you on the show! Your wry sense of humor keeps me (and Marc, apparently) in stitches. I’m just jealous that you got to taste that creamy filling…
Henry says:
October 3, 2007 at 05:04Hilarious! Marsian, i like your mind. Laughter is good for the soul, and after yesterday - I am healthy!
marsian says:
October 3, 2007 at 08:44Thank you beautiful people for all your kind words - Henry, Wesley, Rcktman, Bowdownza, Maia, John110579, Mike, Michael, PupDon, Steven, Ventura79, Cliff, Patchouli_stink, Moonsammy, Patrick and Barbara - Compliments will get you everywhere with me! Thanks.

October 3, 2007 at 12:38Isn’t it wonderful to stay in touch with friends? Marsian is a gem.
sfimporter says:
October 3, 2007 at 16:34Does his voice really sound like that? It’s like a valley girl from Connecticut.
marsian says:
October 4, 2007 at 09:17How shocking DynaMike, I almost fell off my seat!!! And thanks for your kind words Sfimporter, I will be sure to include them in my next artist bio.
Troy in Sacto says:
October 8, 2007 at 14:09I too am a big Marsian fan. I’m not sure how I would describe the tone and accent of Marsian’s voice, but the end result is electrifying! There’s just something there that keeps me wanting more. I’ve listened to the old podcasts featuring Marsian several times each. Love em! Marsian, you have to visit us more often!
