We couldn’t stay away from the City By the Bay, so we stayed one more day with Kevin who is fabulous! And gay. So gay he makes a rainbow flag seem modest.
Being in San Francisco and Las Vegas and meeting up with YOU, our listeners in both of these fabulous cities was a real treat and a sign of great things to come from our show. Because of your support we were able to come to these cities and bring a little local flavor to you. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, and to Steamworks and the Hotel Mark Twain.
But guess what? We had so much good stuff, we’re bringing you a whole week’s worth of great shows from San Francisco and Las Vegas. One of our favorite people we met in San Francisco was Kevin Thomas, the director of Sales for the Hotel Mark Twain.
Once again Kevin brings us a delicious roller coaster ride of great things to see and do in San Francisco.
Listen as we talk with Kevin about our mothers’ ability to swear like truckdrivers, where bears can go to get their honey pot filled, and more great parks, restaurants and secret places to have a good time.
An Italian priest has announced his plans to create a beauty contest for nuns- what will the categories be? At first the contest will be held online but Father Antonio Rungi, plans on making the contest a public event.
An indian man goes to extreme measures to avoid an arraigned marriage. His solution? Fake his HIV status for his bride-to-be’s family.
The Prince YouTube dancing baby has his day in court and wins! A judge has ruled that content owners must consider fair use before sending takedown notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”). Considering the “shoot them all let God sort them out” legal approach many labels use, it’s a refreshing breath of fresh air for anyone who has any type of content on the internet. Now all those fabulous drag queens who lip sync to songs on MySpace and YouTube only to get it pulled have something to fight back with. I can still see the ocean of drag queens all lip sycning to Jennifer Holiday: “And I am telling you, I’m not going…”
Always fresh, funny and fabulous- Feast of Fools.

August 26, 2008 at 07:29What a delightful show this was! Kevin was so much fun… I woke up early today and put this show on, and you guys were just what I needed to get the day started. I loved hearing from Patricia and Kevin’s mom… that was just too funny.
Glad to have you guys home again! Chicago just wasn’t the same without you!
Xavi says:
August 26, 2008 at 12:15You know it’s a great show when my partner gives me the “shutup” look on the train on the way to work. I lost count the number of times I laughed (loudly).
Kevin, I live near Primo Patio Cafe and have never been. You forgot to mention its only open for lunch. 
Will definitely keep trying. Hope to have you back soon!

August 26, 2008 at 18:49I love Kevin. He should definitely be on more. Makes me want to pack my bags and check in to the Hotel Mark Twain and stay in the Feast Suite or was it the Fools Suite.
I have had those chicken feet in Chinatown Chicago and they were rubbery. Yuck!
I also want to tell you guys I met the guy who started the Miss Klingon Empire Beauty Contest. He is gay and came up with the idea years ago. It started out as a Star Trek beauty contest but it was a bomb. He did it again a few years later and restricted it to Klingons only. It was a smash and is now one of the highlights of DragonCon which is this weekend!

August 26, 2008 at 19:36ohhh! I loved Mr. Kevin Thomas so much, he is such a sweet dedicated guy!
Fausto Fernós says:
August 27, 2008 at 00:44Kevin is all that and a bag of chips! He was such a joyful, funny guy- def. one of my favorite people we met on this trip!
Felix Bedingfield says:
August 27, 2008 at 12:28You guys turned up the volume on this entire trip. EVERY SINGLE episode was fun, funny, interesting, and exciting! The guests were the most dynamic I’ve heard in a while. You should be so proud of the work you accomplished in the last week. Bravo!!!
Fausto Fernós says:
August 27, 2008 at 14:28I’m glad you enjoyed all these “out of town” shows. Believe me it was a big deal to produce, both financially, technically and physically.
Wish you could have seen Marc and I lugging around our entire recording studio and suitcases at the airport! We looked like gypsies carrying our entire lives around.
I miss Kevin already, he was such a great guest.
Matt says:
August 27, 2008 at 16:25I love Kevin!!! He is just fabulous! Great show, I loved all the tips on the city. Cant wait to visit the city and when I do, I know where I am staying! Loved Kevin, great guest!

August 27, 2008 at 18:01I enjoyed listening to Kevin and you guys talk about his great city that I love. Gary and I enjoyed meeting you at the meet and greet at the Pilsner Inn. We also enjoyed meeting the other FOF fans. It was nice actually talking to them face to face and just not posting back and forth on the community forums. We wished we could have made it to the Trannyshack send off but we had a prior commitment Thanks for all you do for your fans, Fausto and Marc!

August 27, 2008 at 18:06The perfect cap to an absolutely stellar week of programming. Kevin is a total doll and hillarious too. He didn’t mention bearciti which imo is the most beautifully designed of the bear sites but sadly its underattended. Glad he broached on the bear411 issues. You can read more about it on bear411sucks.com. And, I believe you can buy Song of the South on Ebay. I used to have a copy made in Japan that had uncolored sections and Japanese subtitling. Believe it or not the old founder/owner of Blow Buddies gave it to me when I worked there as a doorman. He was a big Disney freak and he modelled the club on Disney in every aspect imagineable. We even had to use Disney-speak when we were “hosting a party” or speaking with “guests.” The funniest script we had to recite was the free pass to come back spiel. We only gave them out to super hot guys. When someone would say but I didn’t get a pass. We were to respond, a pass is a gift, and smile while directing (never pointing) them into the club with a wave of our arm.
Kevin from the Hotel Mark Twain says:
August 27, 2008 at 21:22Thank you so much everyone for the great comments! I will be back on - I loved working with my favorite fools, Fausto and Marc.
And Xavi, I’d love to meet you (and your partner but feel free to bring a single bear lover) at Primo Patio Cafe. And about them serving dinner, they usually do during baseball season. For dinner, it’s best to call and see if they’re open.
Fausto Fernós says:
August 27, 2008 at 21:33Xavi is really cute Kevin! I would hang with them anytime.
WE MISS U already!!!
Kevin from the Hotel Mark Twain says:
August 27, 2008 at 23:57F, it doesn’t matter if Xavi is cute as he has a partner!
Christian83 says:
August 28, 2008 at 08:54Another funny, great show with Kevin! He is a sweet guy!
From the picture, Xavi looks really cute. Kevin might be lucky and he and his partner are ready for new adventures. 
Michael says:
August 28, 2008 at 10:13Love Kevin, he’s hilarious!
So glad to hear that I can continue doing my lip dubs and not worry about getting busted by da man!
Xavi says:
August 28, 2008 at 12:06Tricky T said it so well I’ll steal it from him and say it again:
The perfect cap to an absolutely stellar week of programming.
M&F thank you for all your hard work!
ps… (re: previous comments)
Xavi says:
August 28, 2008 at 12:09ok…3rd time’s a charm.
Insert “blush” inside the brackets (kept getting deleted)
Fausto Fernós says:
August 28, 2008 at 13:21The week isn’t over yet! Sorry to confuse everyone, but we still have three more days to go!
If you guys like the shows from Las Vegas and San Francsico, that is directly a result of our ability to be in those cities and tape with these important folks face to face.
So thank you all for your generous contributions and to Steamworks and the Hotel Mark Twain for being sponsors for the trip!

November 7, 2008 at 17:50Kevin was so delightful and so handsome.
as for chicken feet, they can be made several ways, but you don’t eat the bones, it’s really about the sauce on the skin and sucking on them, much like chicken wings. Yes, I know wings have meat, but the majority of the sauce you suck on is on the skin. 
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Fausto Fernós created the Feast of Fools in 1998 as wacky artists variety show in Chicago, Illinois.
Along with his partner Marc Felion, he hosts the world's most downloaded talk show for gay people on the internet, Feast of Fools.
Fausto loves pomegranates, waterfalls and 70s retro funk music.
