Hmmm....the only "no show" in June was Alaska...because she got booked on "Drag Race". Jinkx was announced as well but her name was removed from the guest list VERY early on. And, drag queens DON'T generally do long sets...the majority of drag shows consist of a host and 4 or 5 performers who do 2 numbers tops. At 5 minutes a number, it works out to about 10 minutes. That's pretty much how it works at R Place, too...

michael strangeways commented on Can Straight Guys Do Drag?.

Drag has been around for centuries, in one form or the other, and it's never just been a gay thing.

Go slap on some Wet n Wild, foam rubber hips and that divine vintage muu muu you found at Red Light and have a good time.

The only funny animated show left on Fox.

And, it's amusing that the two best animated shows on television (Bob's Burgers and Archer) both star H. Jon Benjamin.

YAY! But, isn't that Darragh on the left?

It was sometimes a bit screechy/preachy, like all Norman Lear shows, but All in the Family was brilliant.

And, the aforementioned "drag queen" episodes with "Beverly LaSalle" are just amazing. You can find them on YouTube. San Francisco drag artist Lori Shannon was just terrific in that role.

michael strangeways commented on The Dumbest Blog Post Ever Written About Seattle.

Well, the racism is gross but he's right about Belltown; it's one block of fun surrounded by yuppies and crack. And, Queen Anne IS boring. Ballard is "meh" now since rampant gentrification. But, he's wrong about Georgetown, and his love for Capitol Hill is a bit extreme. Also: we don't need any more visitors, thanks.

So in love with the Taco Time crack right now...I wish I had written that.

Have to agree with everything he said about art,arts culture, artists and how they relate to provincial cities, Seattle specifically and "world class" anything.

And, the remarks about the banality of PNB are dead on.

How many times can you see bland, fairy tale ballet with a stage full of 6 year old bunheads and an audience full of their frustrated East side mommies?
