GAYETY!!!!!!

If you're weren't at Gayety you missed...

...awesome queer trivia with some of our best prizes yet (mostly because people kept me away from prize seeking duties)
...a pregnant evangelical playing a small musical instrument that resembles a guitar, but is smaller.
...my story about a night-time adventure on the ptown beaches that would have resulted in arrest, were it not for a quick thinking middle child friend (not to worry, I didn't use any names, although feel free to out yourself here)

The crowd was amazing. The place was packed, standing rooming only, and even though it was ridiculously hot, almost everyone stayed to the end.

Thanks everyone who came out to support us!

Bevin, of course, was the hilarious engaged Glitter Queen at her very best. Bevin should probably emcee every queer thing that happens in the English speaking world (well okay as long as I get to perform at all those events too).  Leigh was his usual fabulous and charismatic self, Betty Pages made at least one person fall off their chair laughing AND got the whole crowd involved in her singalong. And Joel Derfner made all the boys swoon and everyone (boys, girls, other) laugh. It was a lovely night. I performed too, I did some of my older material and some that was brand -just-written on the subway new!

We've gotten nice email about the event including at least person who got a date out of the evening. What was it that Sarah Schulman said? "If you're not finding someone a girlfriend you're not working for the revolution?"*

It makes me SO happy how people react to Gayety, even in New York where there tons and tons and tons of other things to do.

The Center folks taped the whole thing, so there should be video available soon.

*Okay, I am sure she did NOT say it exactly that way, and google shows up nothing. I use that quote all the time, I should check that it's not just a qu-urban legend. Any thoughts?
