My camera died while taking photos at Trannyshack. Really bummed, cause I can’t afford a new one.

If you’ve enjoyed my photos in the past and would like to help me buy a new camera, enjoy the gift of generosity and donate to my paypal account.

KumaSF highlights the IBR weekend with SugarKrash. Dj’s were DJ Rotten Robbie, 50pound Note, Freddie: King of Pants, Bun-D, Agent Adam, DJ Dann Edomond, LUVSIK, DJ Boyshapedbox and DJ Medic.

The highlight of the evening, of course was Tiffany.

Tiffany, Tiffany, Tiffany… You showed up in a room full(mostly) of KumaSF bears, and sang your heart out.  I was particularly tickled when you entreated the audience to  ”Sing Along!” to a song in which no one knew the words.  You were a treat to photograph, and such a good sport.  And I will never forget those pants.  

And when you left the building, I was happy that there was a drag-queen replica of you to act as a stand-in for fan photos.

Thank goodness everyone looked queer as hell in the receiving line.

For those of you not acquainted with Tiffany, I found an amazing fan(I think) site. There are some crazy ass quotes in the quotes section on Tiffany.org

This was sooo f’ing true. Glad the last day is today!

Once again I set up a photo booth at Bearracuda at Le Deco Lounge.  A pot of smokies, frosted animal crackers, cheap drinks, wall to wall man-fur, and a sure-thing basement.      

Smoooooooshface pictures were completely inspired by Fred-the-Plummer and Jonno.

And who could have a Bearracuda without Dickie (his livejournal, and boyshapedbox.com)

Large speakers were set up at the corner of Market Street and Castro to broadcast Gus Van Sant’s voice, directing another scene from “Milk”.  There were a large number of extra’s on the street as both Sean Penn and Emile Hirsch hopped up on a box, yelling over the crowd with a megaphone.  Gus’s voice continually boomed, “More pantomime!”, “Less Pantomime”, “could the drag queen in the front please lower her hair”, while set workers moved through the crowd removing misspelled signs.

Emile Hirsch(IMDB LINK) as Cleve Jones. Aside from being Harvey Milk’s intern, Cleve is known for conceiving the NAMES project AIDS Memorial Quilt. Clevejones.com

And the two talking between takes.

Oh the fun that can be had with a piece of plexiglass! Especially when you have cute little cubs and bears to smoosh against it. Thanks to Fred-the-Plumber for the idea, and Jonno D’Adario for the word “smoooosh” (expandable with infinite o’s). I’ll be at Bearracuda next Saturday for IBR doing the same thing. Thanks to everyone who participated.
