Upcoming Events

Here are the super awesome, super queer events that are on my radar. Sadly, I'll miss most of them because I'm heading to NYC, but I'll be seeing super awesome New York shows and doing research. But those of you in LA should get yourself to one or many of these events.

HomoRevolution Tour Fundraiser. A tour of the southwest promoting several queer HipHop artists, including Deadlee. The tour itself begins at the end of March, but this fundraiser will be a bit of a preview of local homohop talent. Here's a newspaper article on the event.

Miracle Whips Burlesque at Shotgun at the Eagle on Wednesday, 2/14. These girls are awesome performers, and while they seem to be doing just a "a cameo," I'd love to spend V-Day watching them shake their booties. Shotgun is a fun event anyway and totally worth turning up for.

Katastrophe at Club Butchin LA at Mr. T's Bowl on Feb. 22 and also at The Echo Feb. 17. Katastrophe rocks. Don't miss it.

Speaking of VDay, there are many, many performances of the Vagina Monologues happening in the near future to raise money to end violence against women and girls. To find one near you, go to www.vday.org. The lovely Darrah du Jour is working on VDay Hollywood on March 23 and they're having a Drag Queen Bingo fundraiser at Hamburger Mary's West Hollywood on Wednesday, Feb. 21.

The Butchlalis will be performing at Highways Feb. 23 and 24. I wish Highways would program more cool butch and genderqueer artists such as the butchlalis and the only way to make that happen is to show up in force, so I'll be there.
