i got these really cool canvases and couldn't help but bust one out yesterday. i just love the size and shape of them. here it is. the background is made up of a map of SF, german vocabulary flash cards, a christian song book and a letter from my choreographer friend marie.

Halloween in LA with Jennye!

Jennye and I went to happy hour on friday and were complaining about the lack of parties that we got invited to in San Francisco. so we did what any normal person would do...we drove to LA at 1130 at night and partied it up with some LA peeps! So much fun was had by all.

Here are some highlights...

my capricorn costume


jennye as miss dolly parton.


robyn is a rainbow. she made her dress. she even had rain!

holiday greeting cards!

I wanna get some feedback... original holiday cards for you and your loved ones!

Dolores Park on Saturday

amber, ingrid, lisa, james, tiffany, danyol, cez, marisol and danny


Monkey! Queen of the park!

AlphaBar on Friday the 13th

For those of you that were there, you saw what happened.

For those of you that couldnt make it, be glad you didn't.

I don't want to go into too many details but two of my dearest friends got gay-bashed inside the bar at around midnight. Needless to say, I will not be having another show there. I just don't feel safe anymore. Sorry Ben. You are a great guy and I'm sorry this happened in your bar.

I have never seen, nor been that close to such hatred and violence. The fuckers that did this are cro-mag assholes that should have all their legs broken.

My friends are going to be ok physically, and I am praying that the emotional trauma that they went thru will be channeled into their art. I love you both!

If anyone has any photos of the guys that were hanging out by the TV (if you were there, you know the group I am referring to), the police would like to see them. Please send them to me and I will make sure they get it.
