Today we of the San Francisco Lesbian & Gay Freedom Band played well in our gig at the Golden Gate Bandshell. We were the first band of a two-day Golden Gate Band Festival, including an Air Force band. It was the first time I had worn a band uniform… see the picture of Doug Litwin (clarinetist) and me below.

Cayenne Celebrates the Big 60th Birthday!

A good time was had by all at Cayenne’s 60th birthday party here in San Francisco.

I performed a poem called “The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo” by Gerard Manley Hopkins in full ponce drag.

Other performers included Jim e Sparklepants, Ryan Mintz with his new hit “Welcome Home”, Peggy Leggs (thanks for helping with my makeup sweety!), Bimbo the Clown, Charley pole dancing, and a host of luscious models working the runway in the fashual (fashion ritual) organized by Jack Davis. After all the entertainment, Jack Davis led a ritual offering to Cayenne of all that those gathered felt he desired and deserved, followed by Cayenne speechifying a bit then cutting the amazing cake.

Check out the pictures and videos I took of the event (and please let me know if you’d like anything removed):
