Saturday night, I was at Young Frankenstein at the Castro Theatre with Jim. Who’s Jim, you may be wondering? He’s this guy I met back before Fiesta. I don’t think it would be right to say that he’s my boyfriend, but we certainly have been seeing a lot of each other lately. So, let’s just say that he’s my friend.
Hanging with us was Ben, who in face is the funny Miss Visa DeCline, as well as Wyatt, a gentleman from Los Angeles. Jim has some interested friends.
Peaches Christ was fierce, and Heklina was silly-good. The Friday the 13th scene Heklina played out was hysterical.
During the movie, though, Jim rested his head on my shoulder and slept a little bit. I rested my head on his head and fell asleep, too, right after the big unveiling scene, waking up just in time for Madeleine Kahn’s “I put a hamper in the bathroom just for your shirts, and another for socks and poo-poo undies.” That about covers all the best parts of the film.
Sunday was my big work day, with two back-to-back two hour sessions. After that, I was ravenously hungry, so I made some chicken thighs and veggies in a peanut curry sauce, then headed down to the Eagle to meet Jim and others. While there, I got to meet Jim’s best friend, Andy, and a few others. He was going over to the Play T-dance to see Ben perform, so I went with him.
We didn’t stay long, though. The place was a little bit overwhelming for him, and for me, the music was really terrible. The DJ just wasn’t very good to my ear, although all the boys over on DancingBearsSF seemed to love it. So, I thought I’d give him another chance and downloaded his set from Sanctuary on 21 January 2007. It’s better than what I heard last night, but I am not quite convinced yet. Maybe he was having a bad night? Or maybe I was…
So, Jim and I left not long after having been there, and he dropped me off at UGH. I came home, checked messages, and crashed out early.
Overall, a very good weekend. That’s my IBR report.

Always good to hear different opinions. I thought Pete was fantastic last night. You have to keep in mind that last night was a T-Dance and was clearly advertised as such. T-Dance music is cheesy, very gay anthems and disco. It’s not dark, it’s not circuit and it’s not current pop. It’s as cheesy, gay, hands-in-the-air as the DJ can get away with. It’s mostly about classics and updated remixes of classics, with soon to be T-dance classics thrown in. It’s vocal tracks you may have heard on a Saturday nite 5 – 20 years ago (I.e, Deborah Cox “Absolutely Not”, Amber “Sexuality”, Abagail “Let The Joy Rise”, Donna Summer “I Feel Love”, Madonna “Music”, Donna Lewis “Fools Paradise” etc) and just a sprinkling of soon to be T-dance hits. But the rule of thumb is, if it’s being played in the big clubs right now, unless it’s super, uber gay, you don’t play it. T-dance is a very specific genre just like Hip Hop, or Circuit, or Country etc. And as someone who loves T-dances and has played many many many . . . Pete was exceptional last night in my opinion. And the club stayed packed until it was closed. But it’s cool if you don’t like T-Dance music, that’s why there was FRESH last night and that other party. (-:
If you’d like some more music to download, go to http://www.djmcsf.com and click “Free Downloads” in the upper bar. My 6 hour Adoins set is there for Free Download, as is my BEARRACUDA set with Sam Storicks from New Years and my last SANCTUARY set. I personally like the Adonis the best. So let me know what you think. I always love the feedback. And it’s definitely not T-dance, so I’d be interested to see if you like it. – Matt
