Happy Pride, How's it Going?

Welcome to the Gay High-Holy Days!

We'll be at the San Francisco Pride celebration, on the Necterena Stage (I throw-up in my mouth, just a little, every time I say that) Around 3:45. Tommy Salami will be there on the mic all day.

See you at pride!

Shit, Piss, Cunt, Fuck, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits.

To a great performer, a counter-culture icon, and my personal hero.

Neil Down is going bye bye :(

Hey Y'all,

For everyone who doesn't know, I will be moving from the Bay Area to Santa Fe, NM, very soon.

That means that Wednesday June 25th will be my last show at the 'Ho. I am sad to be leaving such a great group of folks, but also excited to put on a rocking last performance (which will be a few numbers for sure).

If you have any favorites you want to see one last time, let me know and I'll see what I can work out :)

I've totally enjoyed being part of the EBKC, and a huge part of that is our always kick ass audience. You folks are grrrreat.

The other thing is, Thursday morning I leave to drive to Santa Fe, and there have been some financial issues (mostly to do with my car, and some other things), and so if you are feeling generous, bring some extra tip dollars to throw at me. This is the last time you will have a chance to throw money at me!

Hope to see you all on the 25th!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh, how i miss the yay!

I'm sitting here in the cold, damp great Northwest, pining away for sunny California.

It is JUNE and still raining cats and dogs in Seattle. What gives?

The only explanation I have is that the universe knows I belong in Oakland, performing with the East Bay Kings Club.

But I'm home on June 11th. Which just happens to be the next EBKC Wednesday night show!

Thats right- I'll be jumpin' off my airplane into the loving arms of the White Horse Inn.

So come out for my homecoming- I wanna see all yer smilin' faces.
