hello all...just wanted to write my first blog as Raven Would.  hope everyone enjoyed last week's show!  if you missed it...then you also missed DJ Ryan singing live and Tommy Salami freestylin'.  It was awesome!  please come out and support your local drag kings...join us and perform!

What you missed...

We had quite a lineup last night. Rising stars and old favorites graced our stage in a fantastic show, even if it was late in starting. Our audience always gets a little thin this time of year, between school and all the rain, but we had a rockin' time anyway!

These are the numbers you missed (and aren't you sad? I think you are)

Seymore Sinn: Bohemian Like You (The Dandy Warhols)
Manny Nuff: Soul Education (Jamiroquai)
Draven Lee: Me N Yer Girl (Phunk Junkees)
Wayne O'Torious: Step Right Up (Tom Waits)
Stevie Ray: If I Were Gay (Stephen Lynch)
Mocha Devine: Brown Skin (India Arie)
Dante DeMoan: Now (Everclear)
Manny Nuff: Business Time (Flight of the Conchords)
Draven Lee: The Red (Chevelle)
Joanna King: The Way I Am (Ingrid Michaelson)
Raven Would: Closer (Ne-Yo)
Tommy Salami: You Part The Waters (Cake)
Mocha Devine: They Don't Know (Jon B.)

All in all, it was a lovely show, as always. Get there next week. Seriously. What else do you do on a Wednesday night?

Upcoming events include The Third Annual Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll show and the April Fools Day show.

Stay tuned!

Love, Joanna -xo-

Oh, For Fucks Sake!

I go away for a bit and the whole works goes to shit.

Yes -- I am properly back, and the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Check this space for the line-up on Wednesday and I will see you on the flip side.

Goodbye, EBKC!

As some of you may have heard, I have officially quit my position as the EBKC's door girl.  It was not by any means an easy decision, and I am certainly not happy about it in a lot of ways.

The reasons for this decision are as follows:

I am taking 15 units this semester, and really don't think I have the time or energy to commit to being there every single week as I have been for nearly a year and a half.

Dante DeMoan (my best friend) is moving away, and I need a break.

I want to be able to go and actually watch/participate in the show when I can actually be there.

Like I said, this was not a spur of the moment decision, and I will miss you all.

Love, Joanna/Mario/Kat
