I love my city.

It’s got a great climate, beautiful views, fresh air, clean water, amazing food, hot boys, pot and drag queens everywhere. It’s basically heaven for a guy like me. And I love all the other crazy things that come with The City: Folsom Street Fair, Bay to Breakers, The Tenderloin, Gavin Newsom’s hair grease, and sourdough bread, oh and I love tourists too! But the one thing we got that you probably can’t find anywhere else is a viable progressive candidate running for one of the highest offices in the city who is also a drag queen.

Anna Conda.

After shuttering her weekly drag show Charlie Horse at the Cinch after a five year run due to ridiculous complaints from those living in the new expensive condos built next door she decided to run for office. Now running for office sounds kinda easy right? Well it’s not, in fact it’s exhausting, stressful and expensive, but she managed to run a tight campaign, garnered all kinds of support and volunteers in a very short time and now she finds her campaign turning some heads that did not really consider her candidacy noteworthy.

If you live in District 6 (Tenderloin, SOMA, Treasure Island) and you are able to vote, then please, please throw your support for Anna Conda. She’s the real deal. She talks like a real person, one concerned with finding solutions to problems rather than just pointing them out and grandstanding for attention and political gains. She is a progressive candidate supportive of the poor, down and out, and middle class. She wants to fight to keep our city for the people who love to live here and participate in the community, not those who sweep in with their dollars and buy up real estate to have some second, third, or fourth elitist perch on the pacific coast. Those are not the real San Franciscans. We are.

Vote November 2nd.

Ben Wa was kind enough to push this video to me. It details highlights (and low) of the show. Some of the numbers are spectaular, while others border on the ridiculously funny and perverse, and for those of you who know me I love the perverse.

Now PLEASE click here to see the video that my favorite drag relative Cousin Wonderlette put together just before her stage performance. It’s hysterical and features some of my favorite drag stars and friends. I shit myself when I first saw it and I can watch it over and over. Enjoy!

Here’s some pics of Cousin:
