The first track from Airs’ Moon Safari album, accompanied by scenes from a video shot from a streetcar traveling down Market Street in San Francisco in 1905. Before the earthquake/fire of 1906 destroyed the area. Love this footage!

Our new van is up and running… we’ll be trail-blazing across the country ( well, maybe the West Coast) in our newly refurbished 1973 Volkswagen travel van. The retrofit is complete with a cappuccino machine, beanbag chair and wifi. If you see us on the street be sure to scream!

The Divine David – Art Masterclass

August 27th, 2010

Ready to pull out that paintbrush and canvas that you’ve had in storage for the past decade?

WAIT. You must first watch the Divine David Art Master Class on YouTube. Personally, I was in a creative slump when Frank Eddy sent this over to me promising that if I viewed it I would be filled with creative flow and inspiration…IT WORKED! I’ve started painting again.

BONEY M – DADDY COOL

August 25th, 2010

Not sure how I missed this 35 years ago.

Boney M from West Germany was a disco cross-over group created by producer Frank Farian in 1975 and was composed of four West Indian artists working in London.

Despite his success with Boney M, controversy followed the group’s founder, Frank Farian, in what was to later shadow his involvement with Milli Vanilli.

I LOVE THIS..Thanks for sending Frank.

In Their Room – A film by Travis Mathews

August 19th, 2010

Ahh..remembering the days when we were all bored and disenchanted.

In Their Room is about gay men, bedrooms, sex and intimacy. The film veers into the bedrooms of eight different men where you see them doing everything from the most banal to the most erotic. Complimenting
the revealing nature of their everyday activities are confessional interviews about fantasies, turn ons and
vulnerabilities. You never leave their bedrooms, but this is unmistakably San Francisco of the present.

GloWorm – A new monthly party at Lone Star Saloon

Did you know that The Lonestar was recently purchased by a gay burner couple?

I knew that something was up when friends told me about this freaky-fun new monthly event at the Lonestar….GLOWORM,a black light dance tribe that welcomes the whole queer spectrum (that means all bodies/ages/genders/races) Dress to fluoresce and get DOWN on the dance floor!

All in the comfort of the historic Lonestar with its studly pack of bartenders, and the best back patio in SOMA.

Come early to enjoy the delightful new Gloworm-punch!

I see you

August 17th, 2010

I see right through you.

I am staying in bed all day.

August 13th, 2010

I woke up this morning and didn’t want to get out of bed.

Everyone tells me that this is a sign of depression and that I can take a pill to alleviate the symptom…I don’t want to alleviate the symptom. I just want to stay in bed.
