Boy, oh boy do I have some good things in store for you this month. I've been a little quiet over the last two weeks because I have been cackling over my cauldron, brewing some wicked themes for Cocktailgate and concocting some iniquitous performances for all of you.
This upcoming weekend definitely will be benefitting from this incubatory period. This Saturday, May 3rd, is the Grand Re-opening of legendary Polk area venue Kimo's. Tony Molson, often more commonly known as Mr. Crickett Bardot, recently bought this venue which has been home for amazing drag shows as well as rocking live music acts for decades. As of late, the venue has more or less gone neglected by the general public at large. With the endless upgrades and improvements that Tony has been making for this gem of a space, Kimo's hibernation is officially over starting this weekend. Crickett Bardot will be gracing the stage with one of the longest living erotic arts, belly dancing, then I will be warming the crowd up with a raucous drag performance for the rockin' talents of Tony's own rock band. I'm sure most of you know that Tony and Crickett have two young kids, sassy Sasha and lovable Lane. These kids are destined with greatness drinking from the endless wells of their parents' talent, love and support. So join me this Saturday to support their new endeavour.
And then Sunday come to Truck for a night I can only call "Just Plain Crazy". Glamamore, Monistat and I will be performing songs that...well, are crazy. Not just lyrically or in title only, but also in interpretation. I dare you to find a queen in this town that can rival the level of craziness of myself, Monistat or Glamamore. As well, we will have a special, crazy as a shithouse rat, dj: Joshzilla.
This weekend was also meant to be the second installment of my monthly club SeXXY at Metro. Unfortunately, this has been put on hold since I must go to my hometown for my Granny's memorial. She was an amazing woman that I had the immense pleasure of living with for the first 6months of my post nest life way back in 1996. After a long and brave battle with lung cancer she has moved on from this plane of existence. I won't get into the gifts that my Granny has given to my life and who I am here (that's another blog for another time), but it does make me happy, that while me and my family are celebrating her full life, that some of you out there will be adding to the love.

PS If you haven't already, please add COCKTAILGATE to your list of friends on Myspace. This site is thanx to the efforts of my dear friend Joshzilla and can be found at www.myspace.com/cocktailgate.
PPS and cuz I was never very good at keeping a secret; here's a sneak peak at some of our upcoming themes at COCKTAILGATE.
May 11th "I Lost ME to Beth" a tribute to Portishead
May 18th "Oxy Mormons" with special guest Princess Kennedy
PPPS This is the final post script, I promise. If you are a performer or the drag bug has recently bitten you and you want to perform in one of my shows. Send me a message with your email and I will add you to the 'behind the scenes' mailing list that I have just recently made. This list is how I let performers know what my upcoming themes are before the general public. I also have on this list videographers and photographer who might be interested in immortalizing San Franciscan artists. Because, let's face it, most of us queens don't do this cuz we're camera shy.
