RuPaul Queen Robbie Turner Is Leaving R Place: If you were at Kremwerk last Saturday night, you were the first to know.

Aw Dang, Artists Derek Erdman and Ashley Armitage Are Leaving Town: Major sad-face emoji. But you can check out their going-away art sale and make off like a bandit with some rad art by the man who brought us a luxury condo graveyard and highly entertaining prank phone calls. Rich Smith says: “In high Erdman style, the event will be sponsored by Haribo, Rainier, Stumptown, and Nathan's Hot Dogs. There's going to be bowls of gummy bears everywhere, plus free beer/coffee and hot dogs (meats/non-meats) for as long as supplies last.”

They spent $1 million to build the show’s discotech, doubled ticket prices, and doubled the length of the run.

They hope to make more money on the show as it tours around the country.
