SALOME!: A VEILED THREAT

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!! At HOT! Festival 2009!! July 23rd-25th @ 8pm at The Living Theater

BUNNY NOTE: I don't know any of these performers but this looks like an interesting show:



Salome! A Veiled Threat is an evening of multi media cabaret style performance featuring Ryan Lawrence, Jeremy Mikush, Eric Jaeger, and Bizzy. Costumes by Luc Goodhart and Diego Montoya. Lighting by Peter Cramer.

We celebrate the radical feminist power of one of the Bible's most beloved and reviled femme fatales, Salome, through the works of Charles Mee, Tom Robbins, Richard Strausse, Valerie Solanas, Oscar Wilde, and Charles Bryant, We explore these works through the use of theater, dance, live music, film, puppetry, and burlesque. It's a total blast!

If you have seen the show already, I would encourage you to take another look as we are adding lots of fun elements to the piece. If you have already seen it and don't need to see it again, or can't afford it, etc. please send a friend or two. I have 3 nights to fill at The Living Theater and I would love to do just that. So please pass this info along to anyone you think might be interested.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 at the door.

There is " "talk" of Bubbles shopping a book deal. Hint: this exchange happens about halfway through the podcast.

HIDEOUS STONEWALL REENACTMENT IN TEXAS

Fort Worth Police Chief: That Faggot Had It Coming by Dan Savage

Most residents of Fort Worth have never even seen the inside of a gay bar. Fort Worth's police chief Jeff Halstead is counting on that fact—counting on the average person's ignorance about gay bars and certain stereotypes about gay men—to get a half a dozen Forth Worth police officers off the hook for conducting a violent raid on a Forth Worth gay bar, the Rainbow Lounge, late last Saturday night. Seven men were arrested during the raid, which took place on the 40th anniversary of the raid on the Stonewall Inn that kick-started the modern gay rights movement, and one of those men—Chad Gibson—remains in intensive care with a brain injury. Gibson may not survive.

The officers who raided the Rainbow Lounge claim that the men in the bar made "advances" on them—and Forth Worth's police chief is backing them up:

Monday, police chief Jeff Halstead said the officers' actions are being investigated. However, he also said that officers that entered the bar during the scheduled inspection were touched inappropriately.
"You're touched and advanced in certain ways by people inside the bar, that's offensive," he said. "I'm happy with the restraint used when they were contacted like that."

Allow me to translate the chief's comments: "Them faggots in that thar bar touched mah officers and now they're complainin' about some rough stuff and one little ol' faggot with a brain injury? Those perverts should be grateful they're alive."

This is a classic example of the Gay Panic Defense. In the very recent past all a straight man who brutally murdered a gay man had to say was, "He made a pass at me!", and the jury would ignore the evidence and let the murderer off.

THE MOST SEVERELY BATTERED VICTIM, CHAD GIBSON

QUINCY ON MICHAEL JACKSON

FROM MEN.STYLE.COM:



Q: But it must've been so disturbing to see Michael's face turn into what it turned into.

A: It's ridiculous, man! Chemical peels and all of it. And I don't understand it. But he obviously didn't want to be black.

Q: Is that what it was?

A: Well, what do you think? You see his kids?


Q: I've heard you say that you wanted Michael to sing "She's Out of My Life," the great pop ballad from Off the Wall, in part because you felt like he had to deal with reality.

A: I just wanted to hear him deal with a romantic relationship with a human being rather than a rat. I'm saying that facetiously, but it's true. I saw him at the Oscars very emotional about "Ben." I wanted to hear him get in touch with a real human relationship. "She's Out of My Life" was written by Tommy Bahler from a very bad ending to a marriage. So it was very real. I was saving it for Sinatra. But I gave it to Michael. And Michael cried during every take, and I left the tears in.

HERE'S ANOTHER DETAILED REPORT OF THE SINGER'S FINAL DAYS FROM THE UK'S DAILY MAIL BY IAN HALPERIN:

AN EXCERPT:

As a breaking news alert flashed on CNN announcing that the jury had reached a verdict in Jackson’s trial for allegedly molesting 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo at his Neverland Ranch in California, I knew that history had been made but that Michael Jackson had been broken – irrevocably so, as it proved.

Nor was it the first time that Michael had been accused of impropriety with young boys. Little more than a decade earlier, another 13-year-old, Jordan Chandler, made similar accusations in a case that was eventually settled before trial – but not before the damage had been done to Jackson’s reputation.

Michael had not helped his case. Appearing in a documentary with British broadcaster Martin Bashir, he not only admitted that he liked to share a bed with teenagers, mainly boys, in pyjamas, but showed no sign of understanding why anyone might be legitimately concerned.

I had started my investigation convinced that Jackson was guilty. By the end, I no longer believed that.

I could not find a single shred of evidence suggesting that Jackson had molested a child. But I found significant evidence demonstrating that most, if not all, of his accusers lacked credibility and were motivated primarily by money.

MORE: DAILYMAIL

The author goes on to describe Michael's dates with adult gay men. I met one of these men years ago, boyish and in his late 20's/early 30's. He was a friend of a friend and they booth belonged to a circuit of personal assistants to stars in Hollywood. This made me believe his report of the date, since none of these guys were star-struck and therefore unlikely, I thought, to make up tales. I don't recall how they met, but the two went on a date and Michael presented his feller with an expensive watch. The chemistry was clearly not there, so when Michael called again, the guy turned him down politely.

If Michael could have come to the terms that he was gay, wouldn't it have taken him a lot of the heat off of him as a child molester?

HOT! Festival and New Museum Presents: Armen Ra ( THE DRAG ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS PRINCESS SORAYA) and Bora Yoon

Thursday, July 9, 7 p.m.

Location: New Museum Theater

Series: New Museum Presents

$12 Members, $15 General Public

HOT! Festival and New Museum Presents bring you an evening of music from the outer limits.



World-famous thereminist Armen Ra debuts METAL, a multimedia cycle of five arias selected from the repertoire of Maria Callas. Special guests narrate the content of the arias while the theremin voices the melodies, set against a backdrop of metallic black-and-white footage of Callas, projected in extreme slow motion so that every micro-expression in her face becomes apparent, simultaneously revealing a woman of great pride and profound vulnerability, creating a portrait that is both hauntingly mythological and painfully human.
