I went to a performance of Lustre at PS122 With Joe.My.God. last night. Hosted by Justin Bond, it was a cabaret-format of an evening featuring Bond and a host of new, young trans-gendered and trans-philic (?) performers. It really was a remarkable show. This is not a polished work and some performances were uneven, or merely incomprehensible, but the raw energy and the power of many of the performers was impressive. Justin Bond is, as always, a force to be reckoned with and can make anything into art. His voice is not necessarily a pretty voice, but it is a voice with intention and clarity that can cut to the core of a song and pierce your heart with it. Full story...
This is all kinds of awesome.

I had a pretty good weekend, mostly because I didn't spend the entire time dashing from one thing to the next.
With all the frenzy of the election, I never got around to posting about the rest of my October trip to DC.
I just learned about yet another pointless yet entertaining blog analyzing tool. So of course I had to try it.
Got this from Towleroad. The tiny part of me that still remembers being picked last for kick-ball cringes at this, but the rest of me smiles bitterly at the comeuppance.
Trying to recap the weekend is kind of challenging, since so much went on.As everyone else has already posted about the national rally for marriage equality, I'm just going to give you my link to my Flickr photo set.
Sorry, I've been AWOL for a bit too long, at least as far as I'm concerned. I didn't have a chance for a Friday post, then I was out of town all weekend, through Monday.
Lest you think we in New York City want to keep all the fun for ourselves, you should know that this Saturday there is a nationwide, nay even global, coordinated protest against the passage of Proposition 8.
