20060910-shortbus.jpgThe premiere of Queer Lounge as part of TIFF came along with the premiere of John Cameron Mitchell's "Shortbus" last night. The party was wild and performers like the Hidden Cameras, Kids on TV, Sook Yin Lee, Gentleman Reg, and Mitchell himself (above) held nothing back.

Proof? The two feet you see below are none other than monsieur director, bodysurfing over the Phoenix crowd during his performance.

That's right.

I'll update this post once I've got more photos up on Flickr.
For now, a late TIFF night + my bed = love.

UPDATE: Yes, photo gallery up on Flickr. Check it out.

I was there! This was the best festival party I've been to. JCM was rocking. Two acrobats did a wild erotic routine to Sister Christian that capitvated the entire house. The acts were all amazing.

I worked at Queer Lounge this weekend and I must say: top notch. The acts were fantastique, and the food (for the volunteers) rocked! There is another party for the Bubble, a queer Israeli film, at the Phoenix again tonight. Doors are at 9 pm....

Smasma! You really that keen on 241 pizza and lettuce subs? bleh! heheh.

Regardless, it was totally worth it, and if anyone else is looking to help out with tonight's Bubble party (Scott Thompson, Elvira Kurt, etc will be entertaining), organizers could probably use a couple extra hands. Contact me for deets.

Well, she as a high-profile civil servant of sorts gets to do the porn thing (if it walks and quacks like a duck, its a duck) in the name of "art" and expressing the human condition, I suppose because she pushes all the right politically correct buttons: woman, young, visible minority, bi-sexual, avant-garde, edgy and artsy... Yet if some middle-age white male smuck of a bureaucrat these days just looks at a women in the office the wrong way or is caught with some smut on his hard drive, he's gone faster than you can say Definitely Not the Opera...
