The Road Trip

with Thai Rivera and Marty Grimes at Mcdonald's (for the bathroom)

I engineered a little road trip last weekend with a couple of my favorite comics and gay boyfriends. There’s something cool about driving into a town for the gig – probably because I can’t drive. But I love the car talk and personal info you share on long drives and stopping for crappy food and roadside attractions (see video) along the way. French fries create a bond. It felt like I was in a rock band in an economy car. We drove- by we I mean Marty – all the way up to Humboldt County, didn’t get stoned, but the bartender at our gig at Auntie Mo’s Lounge in Eureka gave us 5 drink tickets each which I thought was way more than necessary. And then (watch video) all my drink tickets were gone. Next morning we went to Eureka’s Omelet Chalet before heading down to play MACLA in San Jose 6 hours south. Both shows were a big hit. Eureka folks really appreciated us making the big trip and I got a standing ovation in San Jose. I love that. Check out these funny boys on the web Marty’s Site and Thai’s Site

The Teeny Weeny Prop 8 Bikini

2 minute video of today’s Prop 8 protest in SF until my batteries died. Can’t show you the low level riot that broke out, arrests, or my gig that night on Castro St.. But my filmaker friend Dandypants will have that footage ready in about two weeks. Justice will prevail. We’re in it to win it.

Supervisor Bevan Dufty’s aide took a picture of us but my cheeks puffed out. We tried again but Bevan was blinking.

Pictured below is one of those creative protest signs at the demo. It is going to be another year of dealing with homophobes. We can’t lose our whimsy.

 

I guess we’ll be working No on 8 phone banks again. Here’s a video about the fun you will have. Filmed by Dandypants.
