Thompson Square park in New York City has a special holy ground for hippies and for gays. It seems that BOTH the Hare Krishna religion and Wigstock can trace their origins to the exact same spot in this location.
In the 1960’s some hippies came up with a counter cultural religion based on eastern hindu/buddism, and in the 1980’s some drag queens came up with a performance festival who’se cultural impact on gays, drag queens, fashion and performance reach far and wide (and on this show as well.)
Listen to our first segment taping IN PERSON from New York City, with Miss Understood, John Q Sanchez, Fausto Fernós (that’s me), Marc Felion, Miss Ronnie and Victoria Lamarr.
Learn about the history of gay culture in New York City and the excitment in our voices as we prepare in anticipation for our very first Meet N’ Greet, blocks away from the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the modern gay rights movent.
Also, on Sunday April 16, will be my 34th birthday! Wish me a Happy Birthday people! On Monday we’ll be posting all the fabulous photos taken from our New York City trip.
Always fresh, fruity and delicious, the Feast of Fools.
See you tonight at our Meet N’ Greet! Don’t miss the fun tonight at the Starlight Bar Lounge in New York City. Join us for some informal fun, freaks, cake, and kitsch. We REALLY recommend you be there at 7pm to check out all the fun, but if you can’t make it on time because of religious reasons, swing by after your supper and join us.
