My teeth are starting to chatter because I’m supposed to do a Stoop Story on June 1st to a sold out crowd at Centerstage. Iz scared…advice? Please halp. Picturing people naked who I have no desire to sleep with inspires a gag reflex, sorry.
Let’s focus back on you then. Rufustival is coming up at the Metro (June 6th),...
Hey kiddies…how was everyone’s weekend? A pretty one by Saturday afternoon. Friday night I spent time with Baltimanda making delicious cupcakes (or watching her mess up her kitchen big time). Saturday was jammed packed. Even though I dumped on the Charles Village Festival, I dropped in. I mean, it’s right in the neighborhood. ...

Made it back on Saturday night in time to catch Roxy Toxic's surprise 26th birthday at the Echo on North Avenue. Not sure if she was really surprised as she was dressed to kill....
Well, I survived the Stoop Storytelling, but it wasn't easy. People were really good. This weekend's going to involve a lot of tough decisions. There's too much going on. Thursday is of the First variety in Mount Vernon. Friday's pick would be Jason Dove's Vacation Face at the Ottobar with June Star and Impossible Hair. Dudefest a...
