Having arrived a bit tipsy from a brief evening out with friends, I quickly got my ticket from the box office, said hello to familiar faces, and situated my happy self near the front of the theater for the pre-show. Peaches Christ has had Sleepaway Camp on her wish list of dream horror cult classics since Midnight Mass’s inception in 1998. The trouble was obtaining a print of the film which she found in the hands of Zach Jackson via the internets. Zach, coming all the way from Phoenix, made an appearance on stage, and much to his chagrin Peaches gave him a warm and humiliating Midnight Mass welcome.

I was a Sleepaway Camp virgin. I really had no idea what the movie was about at all. As a kid growing up in the 80′s I knew of the film. I had seen the poster on the cover of the VHS at my local video store that I frequented weekly. I think as a kid, who went to summer camp every year, I unknowingly avoided seeing it, thinking that it would totally freak me out… well it did. And in a very good way. This movie was ridiculous: boys in short shorts, horrendous acting, amazing deaths, and a finale that defies anything that I thought could have been possible to show in a theater in 1983. I loved it, and I think you will too.

Here are some vids of Holy McGrail and Raya Light.

For a show about disco there sure were a lot of unusual non-disco songs.

A lot of songs featuring poop.

Solid Poop. Solid. And SOLID SOME THING pooped all over the stage… or it could have been chocolate. It’s difficult to judge.

I really loved every number that evening. Each was very entertaining, even Primadonna Reed, who had me laughing so hard I could barely hold the camera steady. Highlights were lips syncing in Spanish (especially Stanley Frank Sensation’s spot on telenovela sync, and Glamamore’s Spanish hog reina), Oxana Olsen and Tess Tickle’s American Gladiator fight, and Vivvy Anne Forevermore and Elijah MIneli’s amazing, ripped right from YouTube, rendition of the Olsen Twins’ “Gimme Pizza.” Priceless.

I’ve always seen David as a drag mentor. He knows about the outfits, the makeup, the wigs, the moves, the lip sync, the style, the music, the look. He can talk to all of this; it’s really amazing to have so much wrapped up into one person. So the drag wonders at SOME THING celebrated Mr. David’s birthday with a special night of performances from some of his nearest and dearest, and newest friends.

Please check out performances below from Hoku Mama Swamp, Putanesca, Vivvy Anne Forevermore, Miss Rahni, Fauxnique, Suppositori Spelling Nikki Starr and more.

Happy Birthday Mr. David

Hoku Mama Swamp, Glamamore, hostess Vivvy Anne Forevermore, Mutha Chucka, Shakey Gibson, Virginia Suicide and more graced us with their wettest. Hoku made the most of the new shower installed next to the stage (see video below). It’s almost unbelievable, and only in San Francisco.

Here’s some photos of Mutha Chucka:

Here are a few video clips I got of Hoku, Glamamore, and Hoku again:

Mister Wa has again shot some fabulous video of the Trannyshack Siouxsie Tribute Night at The DNA Lounge. It features Heklina, Faunique, Trixxie Carr, Putanesca, Anna Conda, Suppositori Spelling, Jordan L’Moore, Valentine, Elijah Minelli, Fruitbomb, Jason El Diablo and Syphilis Diller. Enjoy this fierce tribute!

Stay tuned for the Bjork Tribute Night on August 27, 2010!

Peaches Christ gives good grindhouse with evil twins Jade and Nikita Ramsay

I got a first look at it when Joshua screened a cast and crew show late last year at the Victoria Theater. It was great to see all the folks from the set back in the theater where we filmed. And All About Evil was awesome! Experiencing the movie again this month at The Castro with so many fresh eyes watching it for the first time was a raging hoot! We all laughed so hard, people heckled, I even discovered new things to laugh at this time around. That is a great sign. Any good cult movie gets funnier the more times you see it because you recognize more things and find different levels of humor in some things than you did before. Plus the shared experience cannot be beat. You have to experience this at the cinema.  And Peaches Christ is taking this movie on tour all over the US complete with a pre-show dragstravaganza that is sure to give you more bang for your movie buck. Check out this link to see if it’s going to come to your hometown. Not coming to a theater near you? Then I would suggest starting a Facebook page to demand it come. Many cities like my hometown of Detroit did just that. We gotta show booked within days!

The SOME THING EVIL show was a riot. Lots of fake blood, horror movie references, torture and laughs. Here’s some pics:

They closed all the malls in the Detroit Metro Area; flights were grounded, everything was canceled. At the time I was working for Pacific Sunwear and my two managers came over to my house because of the mall shutdown. We watched the world fall apart all afternoon. Later that night my boss and I went to a local gay dive bar called the Male Box. We drank a bit, bitched about how stupid Americans are, shot some pool, drank some more, and then I think I ended up sleeping with him. I quit shortly after. A few days later my best friend videotaped me ranting about American Imperialism in his living room. Some would have thought I was insensitive, unpatriotic at the time, but in the end I was right.

Flash forward eight years, living in SF where Michael Jackson jokes popped up like toast before the body was cold, I have found myself surrounded by kindred spirits. No less than two drag nights have not only celebrated the 9/11 attacks, but infused them with the innocence of the mentally challenged to soften the blow. Downey hosted a 9/12 drag night at Charlie Horse last year and this year Tiara Sensation hosted a 9/11 in July party.

Vivvy Anne laments over the day's tragedy.

Speaking of insensitivity, the Cinch, hosted by Lucy Borden, was alit with blood and gore on 7-Ten (just pretend it was 7-Eleven) celebrating the 2nd annual Bloodbath at the 7-Eleven drag show. Performers are encouraged to terrorize guests with sprays, explosions and gurgles of fake blood. These antics left the stage a frightful mess by the end of the night, only bolstered by Lucy’s amazing backdrop featuring the aftermath of a brutal and horrific shootout near the Slurpee machine.

All these bombing dates are a conspiracy theorist’s wet dream, but trannies and drag queens naturally seize it as an opportunity to make you uncomfortable yet happy.  And let’s not forget that the London Tube Bombings took place on 7-Seven. The Madrid bombings occurred on 3-Eleven. The theme nights are endless here folks. Again drag folks make lemonade outta lemons, albiet, to the dismay and horror of millions.
