The Dallas Bash is next weekend!

Dallas Voice

Our local fag rag did an article about Chris and I and the upcoming Dallas Bash.

I was glad to see the article took a cutsie angle. I suspected the reporter might scorch us cuz he totally did not get Butch-Femme, and then he got kinda pissy when I used the word “masculine” but refused to list things a real butch would never do.

"Would a real butch cry at the movies?" he asked.

"Dont make me think about about Bambi, or I will bawl right now." I said.

“How about wearing a dress?”

“Mmm. Actually, a whole gang of guys are doing that in our Slut Night show,” I said.

Also, how come every single time I have ever been interviewed for publication, they just make up shit and then put quotes around it? I said (just as I always say) “Butch-Femme is about being who you are”.

Somehow my simple words automagically transformed into this: “The butch-femme ethos is all about the embracing the hippie-dippy pursuit of …being who you are.” Pffft. That’s something a ‘real butch’ would never say! ;)

Dallas Butch-Femme BashYa’ll, I think the 10th Anniversary Bash might be the best party… evar. The elegant Melrose Hotel is right in the middle of one of the sweetest gayborhoods in the country with great dining, shopping, and socializing. My wife and I are renewing our vows before the formal on Saturday night so there will be tons of food and a big gorgeous cake. The Slut Night Cabaret is co-hosted by our own Bubblin’ Sugare and the infamous UK Vampire Rosie Lugosi. Our local Butch-Femme bar Buddies has two bars, a sunken dance floor, and a huge deck with a pool and sand volleyball court. We’ll be there BBQing all day on Sunday! Come and help your family celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Butch-Femme.com!

It’s not too late to register for Dallas!

I can hardly wait to see everyone.

Today I was saddened to hear one of the founders of the women’s music scene passed away. Max Feldman. an old-school Butch and a long-time member of Butch-Femme.com, bravely recorded dyke music during a time when it was not safe to be a queer artist. Max performed across the country for decades and hir song “Amazon” is still an annual theme song for the Women’s Music Festival.

Consumer Whore

What’s your particular addiction at Starbucks? Do you wish you could just point and grunt because your drink order sounds so fricken gay spoken outloud?

I know it is ridiculous to pay nearly five bucks for a cuppa mediocore joe at a pretentious fast-food joint where “tall” means “small”. My heart truly is heavy for the spoken word artists who are being forced out into the elements because The Corporation has no soul. But really… who needs beatnik ambiance in the A.M.? A fat Daddy rolls up for the mofuken CAFFEINE. I am *addicted*, gotdammit, and chemical jonesin’ craves consistency.

Anyways, if you have no idea who you are, you can enter your usual Starbucks drink order into this widget and the Starbucks Oracle will decipher your complex personality for you. Behold, the Oracle said that I am high maintenance and my friends find me intolerable. That brightened my day. :)
