Yipee! Market Days is almost here, and we are SO ready for it.

The Midwest’s largest street fair, drawing over 200,000 people from around the country is happening this weekend and one of the funnest booths is of course Steamworks’ twister booth, which consists of everyday people playing twister with hunky men for charity. This year the charity is Chicago House, so give it up for them.

We’ll be there taking pics and participating, getting ourselves in every twist and turn we can imagine. Winning at twister requires a lot of core strength, something if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer can be quite a challenge. Ugh!

I don’t care, because if I lose, I’ll just wind up on the bottom of a pile of handsome men!

On today’s show Curtis Jensen and Juan Carlos from Steamworks, or as we say in Spanish “Esteamworks” join us to talk about the twister booth and how to put men in vulnerable place where dreams come true. In other words how to flirt with a guy and succeed!

Curtis gives us the skinny on what may happen to San Francisco’s 2008 Halloween festivities which were canceled last year. The gay district of San Francisco was in virtual lockdown last year because of of gang activity and gun fire at the previous year’s Halloween celebration. In 2008, they now propose a Halloween inspired carnival in a parking lot at the AT&T Park that will have fun activities for the children and may or may not include alcohol. Will it be enough though to lure the straights and the gang bangers away from the Castro district though?

Remember the insane, over the top “I Am Rich” iPhone application that cost $999.99? Well it turns out that Apple yanked it off its store after all the negative publicity. One guy had his iTunes shopping preferences set to “one click” and accidentally downloaded the thousand dollar app.

According to the LA Times blog email conversation with Heinrich, the app’s developer, six people in the U.S., one from Germany and one from France bought the $999.99 application. This brought Heinrich $5600 in net revenue.

San Antonio’s Second Baptist Church is fighting hard to rename nearby Gay Boulevard to Second Baptist Avenue in an effort to raise the profile of the church. The city of San Antonio seems ok with it since Gay has “”no significant historical connection” to the city.

It’s not just the gays at Market Days celebrating the summer. Almost all of Italy is on vacation at the beach during the month of August and the churches in the big cities are empty. So instead of the shepherd leading the flock, the shepherd has followed the flock to the beach and is now hearing confessions from the wayward souls in an inflatable church in the sand.

We’re still hoping to raise the full amount to bring us to Las Vegas and San Francisco, so wont you help? For the price of a cup of coffee (okay, really NICE coffee) you can help bring the Feast of Fools OUT WEST!
